Anybody who looked at those pictures, you’re perpetuating a sexual offence

[aGameOfThrones]

Jennifer Lawrence has spoken for the first time about the nude celebrity photo scandal that saw dozens of her naked pictures released online, saying that having her private images hacked amounted to a “sex crime”.

The Hunger Games star accused all those who looked at the pictures, including people close to her, of committing a “sexual offence,” saying: “It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. It’s disgusting.

“Just because I’m a public figure, just because I’m an actress, does not mean that I asked for this.

“It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It’s my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe that we even live in that kind of world.

“Anybody who looked at those pictures, you’re perpetuating a sexual offence. You should cower with shame.

“Even people who I know and love say, ‘Oh, yeah, I looked at the pictures.’ I don’t want to get mad, but at the same time I’m thinking, I didn’t tell you that you could look at my naked body.”

In an interview for the November issue of Vanity Fair, Lawrence called for a change in the law to allow websites which published photographs without the consent of their subjects to be prosecuted.

“The law needs to be changed, and we need to change,” she said. “That’s why these websites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody’s mind is to make a profit from it. It’s so beyond me.

“I just can’t imagine being that detached from humanity. I can’t imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside.”

Pretty selfish attitude.

Pretty selfish attitude.

Says the sex offender

Maybe I'm just too conservative, but I don't see the point to taking naked pictures of oneself for something other than medical purposes.

Same here. I feel bad for Jeniffer though, she is pretty, people should not be mean

I have not seen the pictures.

[ZENemy]

lol

I especially like when the lemmings take political and social advice from these celeb...cretins.

People should not be mean because she is pretty?


I feel about as bad for her as I would for a guy with a 2 foot Mohawk at a rap concert that gets upset when people clown on him.

Yes, people should not be mean because she is pretty.

ex·hi·bi·tion·ism
1. The act or practice of deliberately behaving so as to attract attention.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhibitionism

Exhibitionism is the act of exposing in a public or semi-public context those parts of one's body that are not normally exposed – for example, the breasts, genitals or buttocks. The practice may arise from a desire or compulsion to expose themselves in such a manner to groups of friends or acquaintances, or to strangers for their amusement or sexual satisfaction or to shock the bystander

Defined,, to help you understand.
An actor/actress is by very definition an exhibitionist, even if not overtly sexual.
They still seek attention.

[ZENemy]

Yes, people should not be mean because she is pretty.

Only ugly people should be ridiculed for making a conscious decision to upload naked pictures of themselves?

Taking the pictures was silly, I stated that.

Well, then - an exhibitionist can hardly complain about the exhibition without being a screaming hypocrite, can she?

[ctiger2]

I agree with her but she also needs to take responsibility as well. No nude pics, no nude pics revealed.

Nope.
and the Exhibitionist/Voyeur is a symbiotic relationship.

Sorry but this is 2014. There is no reasonable expectation of privacy for anything electronic anymore. None.

Don't take or send pictures of anything you wouldn't want the whole world to see.

lol!

I would not feel to sorry for the guy with the Mohawk, he probably would not care though.

Sharing an image with 1 other person (as was the intent of these celebrities) is not exhibitionism.

I'd love to see Jennifer Lawrence naked, sure, but I'm not going to do so without her consent. These photos were, and should continue to be, private.

[cajuncocoa]

I guess it's only a sex offense to Jenny if she's not getting paid for it.

There's a word for that.

No, she will not be taking any responsibility. It's everyone who saw the pictures fault.

Google("legally") scans your emails for ilegal photos, and the government says that using third party services(iCloud) exempts them from some legal restrictions

[thoughtomator]

When she becomes a campaigner against omnipresent surveillance and other offenses to privacy, I'll revise my extremely low opinion of her.

[JK/SEA]

she's a dumbass...

[Brian4Liberty]

She was involved in posing and taking pics, so responsibility starts, and almost ends there.

But if we want to look at other players involved, perhaps the second most culpable party is Apple. It was not widely known that someone could take a picture or video with an iPhone, and then delete it, but it would still be loaded and saved on an Apple server somewhere. Not everyone knew that. Most people didn't know that. What remedies and penalties (criminal or civil) are involved in that? I have no idea.

Let's go one step further. We have hackers involved, who hacked her account and stole private property. This is a common crime. How is hacking prosecuted? What are the penalties? This is not new territory.

Her attempts at blaming websites with user content or the people who saw the pictures is ludicrous. "We must criminalize the whole world because there are naked pictures of me on the internet!" - Actress at the center of the universe, where everything revolves around her.

[Brian4Liberty]

From the full article:

The article was accompanied by a photo-shoot by the renowned fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier, and shows her posing topless with parts of her breasts exposed.

In one, chosen as its cover picture by Vanity Fair, she is seen emerging apparently topless from a swimming pool.

Whore?

[cajuncocoa]

"So far, I haven't found a film I'd love to be naked in, but I certainly never look at an actress naked in a movie and judge her," she (Jennifer Lawrence) told Glamour.

"It's a human body, which is a beautiful thing, right? So stay tuned..."

Hypocrite.

[jonhowe]

Whore?

Are all actresses who appear nude whores?

[Christian Liberty]

Hypocrite.

Kind of reminds me of people who don't like big government except when its banning something they don't like

[dannno]

Are all actresses who appear nude whores?

In a sense, yes, but a bigger question is whether we should look down on whores at all.

Some people are born very smart and cultivate their intelligence. Not everybody is intelligent and intelligence has value, so they can support themselves with their intelligence. Some people are born very strong and cultivate their athleticism and strength and not everybody is strong, strength and athleticism are in demand. They can making a living supporting themselves using their strength. Some people are born pretty and cultivate their looks and not everybody is pretty, beauty is in demand. They can make a living supporting themselves using their beauty. I don't see a problem.
