Last month, the Fappening continued in part 2 of the massive online leaking of explicit celebrity photos. The alleged victims include 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star Kim Kardashian, 'Full House' alumni Mary-Kate Olsen, Avril Lavigne, former Disney starlet Vanessa Hudgens and 'Diamonds' hitmaker Rihanna. This isn't the first time Hudgens and Rihanna had their 'private' photos leaked online.
Now it seems that the massive leak has claimed its first male victim, Nick Hogan, son of legendary WWF wrestler Hulk Hogan. The photos reported to exhibit naked women, male genitalia, and a photo of his mother, Linda Hogan in a thong. The 24 year-old has responded to TMZ, denying that the photo of his mother wasn't from his iCloud account and that the image of the male genitalia isn't his.
In August, an anonymous hacker has posted leaked photos of actresses Jennifer Lawrence and Victoria Justice on a message board in website 4chan. The photos quickly spread to other websites such as Imgur and PerezHilton.com, which depicts the said actresses in various states of undress.
The hacker has also leaked photos of Yvonne Strahovski of TV series Chuck, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and has targeted dozens of other celebrities including Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton and Australian actress Teresa Palmer. Complete lists of the targeted actresses have also appeared online.
Perez Hilton who within minutes uploaded the photos when it came out has apologized to readers due to an online backlash when he published the alleged photos. He has since then taken down the uncensored photos of Jennifer Lawrence and Victoria Justice and replaced them with censored versions, eventually deleting them altogther.
Grande's agent has announced that the images of the 'Break Free' singer are Fake.
Mary Winsted has confirmed her leaked images via her Twitter:
"Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this. Feeling for everyone who got hacked," she said.
"You know what's better then leaked nudes? Earning the trust and respect of another human to the point that they share their body with you."
Jennifer Lawrence since the incident, has been trending on Twitter. Selected user comments are below (via Mirror):
"I just hope to heck this doesn't ruin this amazingly talented, grounded young woman's confidence, & thus career,"
"Today is a good day," wrote a user.
"Guys can you please stop tweeting nudes of #JenniferLawrence she's a person!"
It is also reported that Twitter is suspending all accounts that are publishing the leaked photos.
