Jennifer Lawrence's Nude Photos Uploaded to Her Wikipedia Page After She Called The Fappening a Sex Crime
Jennifer Lawrence's tormentors just couldn't stop. The 24-year-old Academy Award winner's Wikipedia Page has been hacked to feature her nude photos after she spoke for the first time about them.
On Tuesday, Vanity Fair released its exclusive interview with the Hollywood "It" girl, in which Lawrence has eloquently conveyed her feelings about her nude photos being hacked and shared online.
"Just because I'm a public figure, just because I'm an actress, does not mean that I asked for this," Lawrence said. "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 also refused to call it a "scandal," saying it's a "sex crime."
"It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. That's why these Web sites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be 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."

But apparently, calling hackers criminals would just provoke them to do more harm.
As reported by Jezebel, the actress' Wikipedia page was edited to feature her nude photos. Two of those leaked photos alternated on the page for 20 minutes before the main photo was returned to the original image uploaded in 2013.
As Lawrence's page is semi-protected, only registered Wikipedia users who have already had 10 edits on other pages can edit it to prevent vandalism. The hackers might have found a way to evade the rule.
Lawrence bore the brunt of the nude photo leak episode, which is distastefully called The Fappening. There are dozens of other celebrities who have been affected by the leak, but Lawrence's photos have been the main lure.
The Fappening is currently on its fourth wave, which features its first male victim, Nick Hogan, Hulk Hogan's son.
