A phone hacker allegedly leaked nude photos and explicit videos of several A-List Hollywood celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Victoria Justice and Kate Upton. Photos of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay" actress went viral on social media as soon as they emerged on the Internet. The actress reportedly dreads the impact of the leaked intimate photos on her career.

Hollywood Life reportedly learned about Jennifer Lawrence's reaction and feelings about the massive celebrity phone hacking and nude photos leak scandal. According to the website, JLaw is "horrified" thinking about how the incident could harm her Hollywood career. Jennifer Lawrence is one of the most popular actresses of the industry. The Oscar award winning actress has earned many laurels at the mere age of 24 and is known for some impressive roles.

Jennifer Lawrence's photos emerged on Aug. 31, 2014 along with many other celebrities. A source tells celebrity news and fashion website that Jennifer Lawrence is "horrified over the leaks and knows that this will possibly affect her upcoming roles."

The actress, who is known for her bold and candid behaviour, seems to be growing increasingly fearsome as one of the biggest celebrities nude photos scandals is now attached to her name.

"She knows that A-list stars don't have this type of controversy attached to them and is very much horrified over the whole situation," the source revealed.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence's representative addressed the controversy and slammed the hackers behind the nude photos in a statement.

The statement released by Liz Mahoney (via Buzzfeed) described the breach as "flagrant violation of privacy." It is informed that they have gotten in touch with the related authorities. Also, the spokesperson has issued a warning through the statement suggesting that anyone "who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence" will be prosecuted.

An Apple iCloud leak has been blamed for the invasion of privacy. The glitch allowed the hackers to penetrate the personal information stored in celebs' phones. The risque and nude photos and videos were reportedly posted on 4chan. Besides Jennifer Lawrence, some other Hollywood celebs that have been targeted by the hackers are Selena Gomez, Kim Kardashian, Kaley Cuoco, Mary Elizabeth and more. It is said more than 100 celebs' names are included in the master list.
