Jennifer Lawrence covers the November issue of Vanity Fair to promote Mockingjay: Part I. The magazine has only released a cover and preview (with a bird-themed image) along with a few excerpts. I’ll do a separate post when the full feature releases. The magazine did a followup for their initial interview after Labor Day weekend’s massive leak of stolen celeb photos. These quotes are a supplement to the interview that Vanity Fair conducted two weeks prior to the hacking. JLaw talks about her feelings after being hacked. It’s pretty intense. I don’t have much to add to JLaw’s words because what she says here is so powerful:

Her initial reaction to the hacking: “I was just so afraid. I didn’t know how this would affect my career.”

Upon further reflection: “Just because I’m a public figure, just because I’m an actress, does not mean that I asked for this. It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It’s my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe that we even live in that kind of world. ”

She has nothing to be sorry for: She had been tempted to write a statement when news of the privacy violation broke, she says, but “every single thing that I tried to write made me cry or get angry. 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 pr0n or he’s going to look at you.”

The legal ramifications: “It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. 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.”

To those who looked at her photos: “Anybody who looked at those pictures, you’re perpetuating a sexual offense. You should cower with shame. Even people who I know and love say, ‘Oh, yeah, I looked at the pictures.’ I don’t want to get mad, but at the same time I’m thinking, I didn’t tell you that you could look at my naked body.”

The worst part, talking to her family: “When I have to make that phone call to my dad and tell him what’s happened … I don’t care how much money I get for The Hunger Games. I promise you, anybody given the choice of that kind of money or having to make a phone call to tell your dad that something like that has happened, it’s not worth it.”

She’s dealing with it: “Time does heal, you know. 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.”

I will say that JLaw speaks the truth. She has nothing to feel sorry for because her photos were stolen. Jennifer was violated by the hackers and violated by the websites who published the photos. It makes me so sad that she had to call her father to warn him of what happened. Anyway, I’m surprised that JLaw went into detail about her feelings. She didn’t have to talk at all. What she does say will hopefully make an impact and give future hackers something to think about. That’s wishful thinking, yes. I’m simply pleased that Jennifer is okay and striking back.
