She’s contacted the FBI about it, because obviously, this wasn’t something she wanted. But the internet is happy to make sure those pictures get sent around and multiplied enough times that she’ll never get her privacy back.
This. Is. NOT. Cool.
Seriously. It doesn’t matter if she’s a celebrity or regular person, beautiful or ugly, taking away her privacy is despicable. She gets to make the choice what parts of her body you see and when. Her choice, not yours, no matter how much you want to see her boobs, no matter how hot they are. They were taken from her, not given to you.
A few years ago, I had this happen to me. Someone stole nude photos of me and I got to go through a long investigation and court process and I have no idea how many people ended up seeing those photos but I was thankful I wasn’t a celebrity because as awful as I was feeling, it would have been a thousandfold knowing they were being circulated like that.
I’m perfectly fine with and proud of my body, but I had a piece of my autonomy taken from me. I lost my ability to control who got to see it and when and how. It took a long time for my body to feel like mine again. I had something stolen from me, so much more intimate than having my possessions stolen.
I know this isn’t at the forefront of people’s minds when they see celebrity boobs. I know no harm is intended, and I can’t be mad at ignorance. But you know now, because I told you, what happens when you do this. So from now on, don’t reblog it, don’t retweet it, don’t save it, don’t pass it on. If you feel so inclined, report it. But at the very least, stop viewing this kind of thing as a happy thing. It’s actually very upsetting for the victims.
