Jennifer Lawrence speaks out on hacking scandal

“I was just so afraid. I didn’t know how this would affect my career,” she said

Newsroom October 8 08:57

The Hunger Games actress poses on the cover of November issue of Vanity Fair and breaks her silence on this summer’s nude photo hacking. An extract of her interview was published on the magazine’s website, whereas the full digital edition will be released on October 9.

She was one of several celebrities whose nude photos were hacked and posted online.

“I was just so afraid. I didn’t know how this would affect my career,” the famous actress said adding that “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,” she continued.

Lawrence also addresses the legal ramifications of the hack. “It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. It’s disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change”.

She also lashes out against those who saw the nude pictures.

“Anybody who looked at those pictures, you’re perpetuating a sexual offense,” Lawrence declares. “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.'” she said.

Lawrence also tells the magazine the photos were intended for her then-boyfriend, to be viewed only by him before they split this summer.

Also, she explains she attempted to write a statement on her privacy violation several times, but “every single thing that I tried to write made me cry or get angry. I started to write an apology, but I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he’s going to look at you.”

Despite, though, the fact that she went through hard times a few months ago, she now attempts to move on.

“Time does heal, you know,” she says. “I’m not crying about it anymore. I can’t be angry anymore. I can’t have my happiness rest on these people being caught, because they might not be. I need to just find my own peace,” Lawrence said.
