Fappening: ‘Naked’ Dr Phil Discusses Nude Celebrity Leaked Selfies On Conan
A "naked" image of Dr Phil McGraw was flashed on TV when Dr Phil appeared on Wednesday at Conan to discuss the Fappening. It wasn't a real nude photo but part of the light banter between the guest and the host - writer, comedian and performer Conan O'Brien - who tackled the nude hacked and leaked images of celebrities.
The two agreed that taking nude selfies is a generational thing since older folks like themselves wouldn't do such a thing.
Their observation seems valid since the leaks had younger celebrities such as A-lister Jennifer Lawrence and some Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader as victims.

"I understand why they are taking them, but why are they posting them?" the behavioural trends expert and psychologist asked, adding that the trouble starts when the image is shared which sends the photo to the clouds. "Do you trust the cloud, I don't trust the cloud," he added.
He joked that if he had a sexy body like Lawrence, he would probably be taking also nude selfies and posting them all the time. Dr Phil assured that any nude photos of himself online is a fake, which led to O'Brien flashing the "fake nude photo" of his guest.

Dr Phil anticipated the prank, telling O'Brien, "I just know how you jerk me around every time I come here." He added he doesn't even have shiny bathroom floors to avoid such "scandals."
O'Brien said that he neither has any naked selfies, otherwise, "it would break the phone."
The host pointed out, "No one wants to see me nude and I don't like the idea of being naked and taking pictures of myself." O'Briend believes the victims didn't intend to make their au naturel photos public, but they made the mistake of texting it to another person which places the image on the clouds.
Still continuing the light tone of the discussion, Dr Phil noted only the photos of really good-looking people gets hacked, while photos of the "uglier" ones are ignored.
Recently, subreddit members commented that the Fappening appears to have died after Lawrence threatened to file a $100 million lawsuit against Google. They noted that the only nude photos appearing are female D-listers who probably are doing the leaking themselves to be noticed and talked about.
