Scarlett Johansson Demands Websites to Remove Leaked Nude Photos
Scarlett Johansson ordered websites to take down nude photos of her that was reportedly hacked from her cell phone or have the risk of getting sued. Several complied. The pictures quickly disappeared from sites including PerezHilton.com and TheDirty.com.
The Hollywood actress is not only going after the people responsible for hacking her cell phone but also those who subsequently published the nude photos. According to E! Online, Scarlett's lawyer Martin Singer sent a cease and desist letter that demanded the websites to remove the stolen, copyright-protected private photographs of the actress or get sued in court.
"The highly personal and private photographs at issue capture our client self-posing in her own home in a state of undress and/or topless," Singer wrote in the letter and was acquired by E! Online. "If you fail to comply, you will be acting at your own peril. Please govern yourselves accordingly."
The FBI, without naming names, said that they have been investigating computer intrusions of high-profile figures. TMZ reports that the FBI is closing in on the suspects that are a group of hackers whose ringleader is in the Bureau's crosshairs and they have hacked Scarlett's cell phone as well as other female celebrities including Mila Kunis, Jessica Alba and Vanessa Hudgens.
