The Internet went crazy over the weekend after nude pictures of numerous female celebrities were leaked online. Nude photos of Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence, model Kate Upton, singers Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande and Kirsten Dunst — among many others — leaked online Sunday morning in one of the biggest celebrity hacking scandals in recent memory. The images, which first appeared on image-sharing site 4chan, show most of the celebrities nude or in provocative poses.

A hacker was sentenced to eight months in prison on Wednesday for a scheme that exposed intimate photos of the actor Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities. George Garofano, 26, was accused of illegally hacking the private Apple iCloud accounts of people, including Hollywood stars as well as average internet users, allowing their nude photos and private information to be spread around the internet. He was one of four people charged in the hacking scandal , in which private photos of Lawrence, Kate Upton, Kirsten Dunst and others were published online. Lawrence said at the time the invasion was equivalent to a sex crime, and called for tougher laws. A federal judge at a US district court in Bridgeport, Connecticut, ordered Garofano to serve the prison term followed by three years of supervised release. Prosecutors argued for a sentence of 10 to 16 months in prison, in line with federal guidelines. Garofano asked for leniency, requesting no more than five months in prison and another five months of home confinement.

Jennifer Lawrence on Hollywood challenges. The revolting treatment of women in Hollywood continues to be exposed following the decades of sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein. Jennifer Lawrence, who has already spoken out about the film executive, recently revealed that a female producer once asked her to do a nude lineup and to lose weight early in her career. And we all stood side-by-side with only paste-ons covering our privates. After that degrading and humiliating lineup, the female producer told me I should use the naked photos of myself as inspiration for my diet. Hollywood has long been criticized for its physical depiction of women and the stringent requirements it thrusts upon actresses. In a separate interview with People , Lawrence said she was told to lose 15 pounds in two weeks. Today, Lawrence is one of the highest-paid actresses in the world and a four-time Academy Award nominee with a win to her name. Hopefully, that trickles down to lesser-known actresses moving forward.
You can just be at a barbecue and somebody can just pull them up on their phone,' says actor. Lawrence, who has starred in Silver Linings Playbook , X Men , and American Hustle , said she decided not to sue because she was more focused on coping with what had happened. When I first found out it was happening, my security reached out to me. It was happening minute-to-minute - it was almost like a ransom situation where they were releasing new ones every hour or so. That was a really impossible thing to process. So I wasn't interested in suing everybody; I was just interested in healing. Cast: Chadwick Boseman, Michael B.
