Kim Kardashian may be the latest celebrity victimized by the nude photo hacking scandal. Allegedly several topless photos of the 33-year-old reality star were leaked online Saturday morning (Sept 20).
The pictures were posted on 4chan but were quickly removed due to the sites updated policy on copyright infringement following the first leak of nude celebrity images, according to TMZ. In August, Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Victoria Justice and more were targeted when hundreds of racy photos were posted to the site.
Reports indicate that there was even video leaked of Lawrence online. Her rep confirmed the pictures' authenticity but said the "Hunger Games" actress had contacted the FBI.
"This is a flagrant violation of privacy," Lawrence's publicist said at the time. "The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence."
Kardashian has not responded to the leak but the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star addressed the scandal earlier this month during a BBC radio interview.
"I think it's a wake-up call for people to make sure they have every privacy setting. It seems like there are a lot of people that love to spend their time hacking peoples' information and that's just a scary thing," she said.
Nude photos of Hope Solo, Vanessa Hudgens, Avril Lavigne, Leelee Sobieski and Lake Bell were also leaked on Saturday, according to TMZ. Actress Gabrielle Union, who was victimized in the first batch of leaked images, released a statement Saturday saying that she and her husband, Dwayne Wade, have contacted authorities.
"It has come to our attention that our private moments, that were shared and deleted solely between my husband and myself, have been leaked by some vultures," the statement said, according to TMZ. "I can't help but to be reminded that since the dawn of time women and children, specifically women of color, have been victimized, and the power over their own bodies taken from them. These atrocities against women and children continue worldwide."
Topless photos of Jenny McCarthy, model Emily Ratajkowski and Kate Bosworth also surfaced over the weekend, according to TMZ.
"For anyone out there also being affected by these and other hacking and hate crimes - we send our love, support and prayers. We have done nothing wrong," the statement continued.
