In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair's November issue, Jennifer Lawrence finally breaks her silence about the sexual violation she experienced, along with other female celebrities in August 31.
For the first time the Hunger Games lead star talked about how she felt about the hackers and those who looked at her photos, and the difficulty she went through in telling her father about the leaked images.
"It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime," Lawrence told Vanity Fair. "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 sexually 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."
Lawrence confessed that she thought of releasing a statement, but decided not to because everything she tried to write just made her cry and get mad. " I started to write an apology, but I don't have anything to say I'm sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he's going to look at you," she admitted.
She told the magazine she is now in the process of moving on from the unfortunate incident.
"Time does heal, you know," she said. "I'm not crying about it anymore. I can't be angry anymore. I can't have my happiness rest on these people being caught, because they might not be. I need to just find my own peace."
Last week, Entertainment lawyer Marty Singer wrote to Google threatening the company to pay $100 million damage for not deleting the leaked photos of these female celebrities, and for "knowingly accommodating, facilitating and perpetuating the unlawful conduct."
As a response to Singer's statement, Google's spokesperson told The Independent that they have since removed thousands of pictures after the request has been made, and have closed hundreds of accounts that have those leaked photos. " The Internet is used for many good things. Stealing people's private photos is not one of them," Google remarked.
