Kim Kardashian’s leaked/hacked nude photos were posted on 4chan, Reddit

Kim Kardashian got naked in front of some cameras. SHOCKING. Apparently, posters at 4chan and Reddit managed to “hack” Kim Kardashian’s private photos (I imagine her password is “ME69”). Some naked pics were posted on both sites. The photos were taken down relatively quickly by Reddit and 4chan, but now you know… Kim Kardashian has naked photos.

Kanye West is about to get REAL PISSED … because someone leaked what appears to be nude pictures of his wife Kim Kardashian onto the internet — making her the latest victim in a string of celeb hacking incidents.

The pics were uploaded to 4chan and Reddit … and because the both companies have taken a harsh stance on hacked photos, they were quickly removed from both sites. Nude photos were also released by a hacker of what appears to be Vanessa Hudgens and Hope Solo.

It’s unclear when the pics were snapped — but K.K.’s not wearing a wedding ring in either of the photos.

We reached out to reps for Kim, Vanessa and Hope … so far, no word back.

[From TMZ]

It’s an invasion of privacy, feminism, men do not own our bodies, etc, let’s not be gross, you get the picture. But in all honesty… no one is going to get worked up about this, are they? Kim Kardashian is famous because of a sex tape. She’s posed for Playboy. We’ve seen a million scantily clad photos of her on the red carpet and in her selfies. She just posed nude for GQ UK as well. We’ve seen every single part of her. I might even know her body better than I know my own. While it’s still wrong that she got hacked, knowing Lucifier’s Homegirl, this might just be some kind of stupid attention-grabbing ploy. But probably not! I hate to say it, but I think Kim was legitimately hacked, along with Aubrey Plaza, Mary-Kate Olsen, Hayden Panettiere, Leelee Sobieski and more this time around. Ugh. Gross.

    Duchess Kate is pregnant and there are rumours of Beyoncé being pregnant as well. Could the photos have been leaked (pardon the pun) accidentally (on purpose) by Kim and Lucifer’s Homegirl, since Kim is not getting as much attention? They would never do that……

    • alex_r says:

      She probably leaked those photos herself to gain sympathy like JLaw but I’ll say this…if she were hacked, she didn’t deserve it. It doesn’t matter how many times someone bares their all on the cover of magazines, no one has the right to hack that person’s private photos.

      p.s – Didn’t mean to reply to you. Sorry about that. this is a standalone comment.

      • NewWester says:

        I agree, if she was hacked that is wrong and no one deserves that. But if she and PMK released the pics on purpose just for attention and pretend they were hacked. She and her mother are just as bad as the hackers

    • runcmc says:

      And she somehow managed to have this conveniently happen at the same time as Mary-Kate Olsen, Aubrey Plaza, Hayden Pannettiere, etc etc- and the photos were shut down by the websites hosting them immediately?

      You give her too much credit. I think it’s legit, and it sucks, but I’m less sympathetic towards her than the other victims…which actually sucks her for too. Because of her job and lifestyle, nobody (including me) takes her privacy seriously.

      • Kiddo says:

        I haven’t followed this thing too closely, but I read that the ‘hacks’ were done individually, not necessarily by one person, but posted collectively. Rather than ‘hacking’, some of the photos may have been retrieved through concerted efforts of guessing passwords, which people, historically, have not treated with great care. I think that there is a chance that they weren’t all retrieved at the same time.

    • atrain says:

      I’m not a betting woman, but if I were, my money would be on “leaked.” Other starlets getting attention that I’m not getting? Time to stir up some drama!

      • MW says:

        I agree. My first thought was that she might be thinking, “… What? I’m not gorgeous enough to be in the select 101 that got hacked?”, and feeling a little left out. Especially if she was hearing friends, who had been hacked, talking about how it happened to them and how they were feeling violated by it. JMHO.

    • Michelle says:

      Yep. Why would anyone hack her photos? She has already been seen nude all over the internet. Her name was NOT on the list that 4chan circulated of celebs they were releasing today either. Yet conveniently there are staged nude photos of her that look photoshopped.

      • KB says:

        Her name was on the list, right before Kirsten Dunst. But it is a bit odd that photos taken on her Blackberry were part of a huge iCloud hack. Then again, I have no problem believing she would e-mail herself the photos and save them on an iPhone.

  2. Jenny says:

    LOL at them being “leaked”. Is that the term we are using for being purposely put online so she can get attention?

  3. teatimeiscoming says:

    Privacy is important, and even people who pose naked for a living have a right to having their personal photos kept personal.

    No Kardashian fan, but seriously, this kind of thing is gross.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I agree. I loathe Kim and everything she stands for, but it is wrong to publish the private, illegally obtained pictures of anyone. Period.

      • Ripley says:

        Agreed. It makes me think of Pretty Woman: “I say who, I say when, I say… WHO.” Basically no matter how often you show your goods and in what context, if you’re the one who wants it shown, more power to you. If someone steals it from you? God, what a gross violation – no matter who you are.

      • Josephine says:

        Lots and lots of these “celebs” leak their nude photos for PR. It becomes hard to drum up a lot of sympathy when so many of them do it for attention – so hard to figure out who the victims are, although no doubt many of these people were actual victims.

        As for Kim, I vote that her people made it happen. It wasn’t her skill — they have PR people for that sort of thing. I saw one of the pics when scrolling through another site and it was so heavily photoshopped it made me immediately think that her people leaked it purposefully.

      • Sky says:

        she’s waaay classier than new round of J-Law and Heiden ( whose tampon string is hanging out of her Britney).. never thought I’d say that. Hope Solo is just terrifying..

    • Sullivan says:

      Agree. Just because the victim is a Kardasian doesn’t make it any less wrong.

      • AC says:

        This!! I find it hilarious that for one celeb there is moral outrage and endless sympathy, but for another its A-ok to basically slut shame and say it doesn’t count. I don’t like her anymore than the rest of the critics on here, but the fact that people don’t seem to see the hypocrisy is absurd.

      • Diana B says:

        Ahhh, hypocrisy, so well and alive…

    • Luca26 says:

      Agreed. It’s a shame that Kim was singled out in this article because she’s not the only person that got hacked. She makes an easier target than J-Law or Aubrey Plaza for sure.

    • Kiddo says:

      There were a gazillion blinds about a celeb who was going to leak their own photos. I can’t help but be cynical about this. There is no shock value nor newness to nude photos of Kim, like there were for the other women who were hacked. If these photos (collectively) represent a badge of rareness and ‘gets’ by the hackers, nude photos of Kim would surely be the least provocative, rewarding and valued.

      That said, if she was legitimately hacked, then it isn’t right, no matter who has had photos stolen.

    • Mia V. says:

      Agreed.

    • OhDear says:

      Yes. The contrast between the sympathy for JLaw in particular v. the reactions about KK re: hacked private photos is gross.

      • Josephine says:

        Not really surprising – one sells pictures of herself naked, and videotapes of herself having sex, and the other does not. One is known for “leaking” pics and information, setting up pap shots, working as an escort to old, rich gross dudes, and marrying for 72 days for profit.

        I don’t think there is a different level of sympathy — I think there is a different level of BELIEF. No one believes her, and frankly, people are right to be skeptical.

    • claire says:

      It’s gross. I feel so bad for the women involved in this. The people leaking and distributing them are a$$holes. That said, I hope Kim K. doesn’t become the “face” of this violation – it would really take away from the issue. So little sympathy and so little dignity involved with that one. She is probably only upset she didn’t make any money on this.

    • Kate2 says:

      @teatime –

      Totally agree. I think Kim is a P-I-G pig but if she was legitimately hacked then this is wrong no matter what she’s done in her past. The shock value isn’t there like JLaw because JLaw hasn’t had the past that Kim has, but its still a gross violation.

    • Maria says:

      i agree. there seems to be a double standard.

  4. Birdix says:

    Is this the cloud again? And (without any judgement) — does anyone out there not have nude selfies? The Birdicis were robbed this weekend (on the earth, not the cloud), so I’ll toss out a fresh observation that it feels horrible.

    • Tapioca says:

      I don’t! Or selfies fully clothed. It just FEELS so vain and vacuous and not me.

      Plus I like a man to possess an imagination…

    • Petee says:

      I don’t do selfless either and I certainly wouldn’t do them naked while practically kissing the mirror.It is vain and vacuous and at my age I would feel like a idiot.I know what I look like.I guess I am not as insecure as I thought.

    • Antonym says:

      @Birdix – sorry to hear about your situation. I hope all are well physically and that your peace of mind returns soon.

    • Tifygodess24 says:

      The pictures that were “hacked” from Kim were from a blackberry which makes me believe Kim leaked them herself. What sucks for the liars is that when you cry wolf SO many times no one wil believe you when you finally tell the truth.

  5. Marianne says:

    Well, Im not surprised in the slightest that she has nude photos (considering her sex tape). However, she still doesnt deserve to have those photos leaked. No one does.

  6. Kayla says:

    So how jealous are the Jenner sisters that their nudes weren’t “hacked” too?

    • islandwalker says:

      Happening in 3…2….1…..

    • jwoolman says:

      Kylie Jenner is still under 18, so her pics would cause a whole lot of trouble for both a real hacker and a Kardashian leaker. Police and FBI would be seriously involved. Kendall Jenner is over 18, but as a Kim-in-training she has a lot of naked or nearly naked stuff out there for the taking. So her pics wouldn’t be so valuable. Also it would be a extra risk getting her pics because she could have been under 18 at the time they were taken. The pics posted seem to be mainly old.

  7. Tiffany27 says:

    Do you think Kim is upset by this? Serious question.
    Also, I hate when people are like, “where are the male nudes????” Nobody deserves to have their sh*t hacked into.

    • Ash says:

      There was that kid from some Disney show. I can’t remember his name, but I know it was something like Sprouse. He’s a twin, his nude got leaked or accidentally published, he just laughed it off. Same with Pete Wentz a while ago. I know I’m forgetting a few, but those are fresh.

      I also had the unfortunate event of accidentally seeing a few of the nudes recently leaked, and it looks like one has a male model in it, and that dude from Underworld junk in one. Scott Speedman, I think.

      • Brittney B says:

        Good point, Ash. Jamie Foxx also had a nude photo leaked. There was barely any outcry — mostly ogling — and some MRA types were livid, pointing out that men don’t get the same respect that women get… when really, it’s just YET ANOTHER example of the fact that men aren’t shamed for being sexual, and that their value isn’t limited to their bodies. People could still separate a penis from an acting career… but the same is NOT true for most women, especially when their acting careers still hinge almost entirely on looking hot.

  8. Jaana says:

    She did it on purpose I don’t feel sorry for her. Not taking it as gospel but there was a recent blind about a celebrity that was shocked that she wasn’t hacked so she was going to release the pictures and say she was. i think it’s Kim. She needs to just go away, desperate, desert thirsty vapid dumb vile woman.

  9. dragonlady sakura says:

    (Clutching pearls) I’m completely shocked! Poor Kim, how will she ever get over the shame of her privacy invaded?

  10. aquarius64 says:

    I’m voting “leaked” by PMK to ride the phone-hacking scandal wave. Jennifer Lawrence got a ton of press for her nude pictures. Sorry, PMK, you’re several weeks late and millions of dollars short. The ratings for that reality show have gone down and nothing you do will get them back on top.

  11. Kyle says:

    I don’t want to even see these photos. There is nothing sexy in fat injection marks on her butt. Gross.

  12. LaurieH says:

    My first reaction is that Kim leaked them herself, hoping to get in on some of the media action that Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, et al are getting for actual hacked photos. While everyone agrees that the hacking is a disgusting invasion of privacy, the only “fun” and “value” in it for the depraved hackers is to obtain photos of celebrities the public would not suspect of taking naked pictures or would be curious to see. Naked pictures of Kim Kardashian is a major yawn. As Kaiser pointed out, she is famous for a sex tape, thousands of barely clad selfies, consistenty over-revealing clothing, a Playboy spread and now a nude photo in GQ. She has left nothing to the imagination. And while everyone deserves their privacy, I have scant sympathy for Kim’s being violated since she has deliberately cashed in and become a multi-millionaire by making her private life a public commodity.

  13. Nicolette says:

    Oh please. Let’s take a moment and remember who we are talking about here. She is more than likely thrilled that she’s getting even more attention, and that she is yet again in the headlines. Her mother is probably cheering from the sidelines that her daughter was included in this latest batch, after surely being disappointed that she wasn’t in the first. She’s called Lucifer’s Homegirl for a reason. Their empire was built by her daughter having sex on tape let’s not forget, and they make everything about their lives public, so is there really any need for modesty now. I understand about invasion of privacy when it comes to others, but these people. Come on.

  14. Gina says:

    She had her Ray J tape, a few Playboy “spreads.” nude or semi-nude photo shoots…the point being who cares. The woman walks around in boob baring, butt clinging clothes, she loves to be seen….does the word exhibitionism mean anything Kim? The bloom is fading fast on that rose Kimmie….expiration date coming closer every day.

  15. Meme says:

    PMK leaked these photos because she was mad Kimmode wasn’t included in the first batch. Like we haven’t seen her naked before.

  16. MistyG says:

    Some of the leaks I think are legit, but I’m kind of curious as to why so many B list and C list celebrities got hacked. It looks a little suspicious.

    • Maria says:

      im also cynical but in those cases i think because A-listers are usually managed by better teams or are themselves smarter. to get to the top you need to have a good team or be smart yourself, or better both.
      look at George Clooney, big womanzier yet never caught in big scandals involving women. he knows what he is doing and he knows how to work the public. Or Angelina Jolie, she completly changed her public perception.
      those people know what to do and what to be careful about. more than C-listers do.l

      • Artemis says:

        Lawrence’s team is ruthless though! She has one of the best teams out there and they were on the ball with the hacked pictures.

        Kirsten Dunst who is super private and a good actress wouldn’t exactly be at the top of the list of women who men like to see naked (at least that’s my non-educated guess).

        So yeah, I’m also wondering about the lack of A-listers. The hacker would go to jail regardless of the celeb status. Add to the fact that one of the victims was underage and the guy is screwed. Why not go for Jolie’s phone or Bullock’s? Or George’s.

    • Miffy says:

      Yeah, the b and c-listers getting ‘hacked’ after the fact. Yeeeeah…. My side eye is doing overtime on that one.

      ‘OMG, J. Law. We have something in common! We’re basically the same now.’

    • Michelle says:

      I believe the “hackers” are young. A lot of the celebs are young former Disney and Nickelodeon stars.

  17. tmh says:

    Kim hacked her own phone and leaked those pictures of herself. No random stranger leaked Kim’s picture, she saw all the attention Jennifer Lawrence was getting and she wanted some too but the downfall is the whole world has already seen Kim naked before.

    • Artemis says:

      How can you hack your own phone though? She owns those pictures, she can’t steal them from herself. ‘Retrieving’ would be the word.

      I believe she’s hacked and I’m surprised she wasn’t before. It leaked at the exact same time as the other ones, that’s no coincidence.

    • FingerBinger says:

      Kim seems like she barely knows how to turn on a computer. Do you really think she can hack something? That said,I don’t think she’s shocked or upset that these photos are out. It gets people talking about her. Any press is good press to her.

      • Renee says:

        Actually,

        And I should be ashamed for admitting to knowing this, Kim seems to be pretty tech savvy. She knows how to hack people’s phones to get to their voicemail, and I suspect that she knows a fair amount about bypassing passwords, internet security, etc. Because she is rich and famous so for the purpose of retaining her funds alone I think that she could possibly know more than the average person about his type of thing.

        However, I agree with the other posters…I don’t care if she takes naked pap walks on a daily basis she has the right to maintain her privacy regardless of what photos she may or may not have on her phone or icloud…

    • Tifygodess24 says:

      I agree they leaked those photos to someone and had that person put them up. Its the fr3aking Kardashians we are talking about here. Not to mention how did her blackberry photos ( phone in the photos ) end up in her iCloud? The hacks came from apple not blackberry. Like I said a few comments up you cant cry wolf so many times and then expect people to believe you when you finally decide to tell the truth.

  18. Dawn says:

    I agree that she in all likelyhood released these photos herself. She is known liar and therefore I can’t believe a word she says ever. And after all who needs to see her nudes as we all see what she has on a regular basis because she dresses like she is on the stroll. This is just another stunt pulled by the queen of stunts PMK, Kim and Kayne. And if she was hacked, oh well, we still have seen it all so who cares.

  19. Alex says:

    I don’t like Kim but this seems like a legit hack. There’s no way she happened to leak her own photos the same day as the next batch of hacked photos. And no matter what she did in the past this was still without consent. So yes I do feel bad
    Apparently these new photos have a lot of graphic photoshopped ones of some of these girls. Particularly Jen. That’s so gross and sad…I can’t imagine being any of these women right now

  20. whatwhatnot says:

    I don’t think Kim is at home crying over this “leak”. Well maybe because she didn’t get paid for it. But this chick sold her “private moment” with Ray J for 5 million dollars and has made a living off of posung naked and half naked at any chance she gets. I highly doubt she is mortified over it. Perhaps the idea that someone was able to get into her private account and find other types of info, definitely. But not the nudes.
    SN I saw the pics. They are old and taken with a BlackBerry that she hasn’t had in years since her Klan all upgraded to iPhones.

    • LaurieH says:

      Which is an interesting twist. What was hacked is Apple’s iCloud, which Blackberry did not back up to. I suppose when she switched to an iPhone, she transferrd her photos which were then backed up on iCloud. It just seems curious to me because we KNOW Kim is the Queen of the Selfie (I mean, c’mon, she’s made at least 2 selfie “books” for Kanye). It is hard to believe that this old photo was the ONLY naked photo of Kim she had backed up. I definitely think she was hacked – if I recall, the hackers even admitted it – but honestly, I think it was Kim that released the picture. Not the hackers.

  21. whatsmyname? says:

    I mean I guess Kim would only be mortified about someone hacking into her stuff and not the pics being of her naked I’m guessing she is able to shrug it off?

    Also a lot of pictures are photoshopped and are way more explicit, and some just random pics from porn sites they are trying to pass of as being of these hacked women.

  22. Kaiser says:

    Let me clarify a point that was possibly awkwardly worded: if this is a legit hack (and I think it’s more than possible it is), I do feel sorry for Kim and I think it’s the same bad situation as every other celebrity woman who was hacked. It’s unfair, it’s a crime, it’s rampant misogyny, all of that.

    What I was trying to say is that I don’t get why “seeing naked photos of Kim” is any big deal for the hackers. Why did they take the time to hack her when we’ve literally seen her naked a million times?

    • Kiddo says:

      I agree with that take, Kaiser, which makes me a cynical person. I have no intentions of viewing the photos of evidence to make any determination either way, however. That is the real invasion of privacy, the further gawking. So intentional or stolen, she can rest assured that I will give them no attention.

    • Size Does Matter says:

      I think the hackers get as big of a charge out of the hacking itself as they do with looking at what they find. It’s like how they say rape is a crime about power, not about sex.

      It wouldn’t be okay for Kim to get hacked. But I wonder what would be more upsetting to her: the release of the photos or that she didn’t get to photoshop them to perfection first?

  23. The Original G says:

    I thought that all the other hack were on Apple clouds and the K’s are all on Blackberry?

    • Mischa Jane says:

      Yeah she was holding a blackberry in her pics, not an iPhone! Which is why I don’t think she was hacked.

      • The Original G says:

        Isn’t this why Blackberry continues to exist? Security?

      • LAK says:

        The Original G: yes. It’s continued source of frustration to authorities that they can’t hack the BlackBerry system. Iphones and apple are a different case altogether, one might as well keep an open door, that’s how easy they are to hack.

      • Lady D says:

        The president uses BlackBerrys for the security.

    • yep. says:

      If that’s the case, the blackberry and security it provides, and shes a carrier of such an item, then she is stupider than I thought with her nonsense. Plus, I don’t give two shits about her naked. We all seen it before Kenye did.

  24. Rice says:

    The CIA, FBI, NSA, hell, all of the alphabets need to catch this creep ASAP. Is it so hard to trace the hacker?

  25. word says:

    I don’t trust her. I bet she felt left out during the first attack. Also, were the pics photoshoppped? If they were, it was definitely planned by her and PMK!. If they were raw pics, Kim must be mortified…she doesn’t let anyone see unfiltered pics of her.

    • don't kill me i'm french says:

      So JLaw’s new naked pics( yes,there are new pics of her …very naked.She loves to photograph her boobs) are the fact of Lawrence in fact if i follow your theory

      • word says:

        What ???

      • don't kill me i'm french says:

        @what
        In more Kim K’s naked pics,there are also many other female celebrities pics hacked today .You’ll find JLaw’ s new racy pics,Hayden P’s ,Hope Solo,Gabrielle Union,Amber Heard….in clear,if your theory is that Kardashian sent herself the pics,Jlaw released her own pics?

      • word says:

        I’m not saying she did in fact leak her own naked pics, I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised IF we found out she did. Why would anyone hack Kim’s phone anyways? You can see her naked on the internet whenever you want…there is no value in her naked pics. Get what I’m saying?

    • Petee says:

      I saw them.Go on the DListed in their blogs.Some people have posted the pictures.I can’t really tell if Kim’s pictures were photoshopped or not.They are pretty boring and her butt is just ridiculous looking.Jennifer Lawrence’s are pretty graphic and were defiantly for her and someone else’s eye’s only.

      • word says:

        I have no interest in seeing them. I do know Kim doesn’t give a damn about exposing her naked body to the world, but only if the pics are photoshopped. If raw unfiltered pics of her naked body came out, I think she would be very upset. I do think no one has the right to steal pics of another person…with Kim however, she lies so much, no one knows when she’s telling the truth. This girl allowed the world to see her tape, so I wouldn’t put it past her to “leak” naked pics of herself. She has no shame in her game. Even if the pics were stolen, if she looks good in them, I doubt she would care…it’s just more publicity for her.

      • Geraldine says:

        the graphic pics of Jlaw are fake. it was demonstred on reddit and 4chan. there were posted on google and porn sites since 2009 and added at the first leak by a random twitter guy for more followers and click i suppose. that is defamation and isn’t okay

      • Nedsdag says:

        The nastiest photos are the ones of Kate Upton and her boyfriend Justin Verlander. I thought he knew better. I guess I was wrong.

  26. defaultgirl says:

    I’m sure these celebrities have some really good photos to leak on there phones. How come none of these things are being leaked?? People doing coke at parties, people dancing naked on tables. Kanye kissing his boyfriend. Notice all the leaked pictures are perfectly tamed. This whole thing is fake. I bet nobody gets in real trouble, these people are paying to get leaked. The pictures are too cookie cutter….

    • Maria says:

      my theory: if there are pictures like that some hacking groups will have them. but why leak them? they would draw attention to themselves and cut off their “supply” of nudes and scandalous picutres.

      what i want to say: if you had an illegal thing going on would you speak about it on the internet? does not seem smart. the guy that got caught was looking for attention and hoped to get some money. he made 150$ or so. all that tells us that he is an amateur. the icloud didnt really seem to be secure but i think he wasnt the hacker in that sense. he probably got some of the picutres and saw it as his moment of internet fame and didnt think about the consequences for everyone.

      i think there are probably trading circles for pictures like that. but they obviously dont want attention and dont want celebs to be more careful what they photograph. they want to get more pictures obviously. the people in those circles are certainly mad at the guy who leaked the pictures. but for other reasons than privacy and the violation of the victims.

  27. Ennie says:

    I’d be much more surprised if those forbidden pics were of her unphotoshopped, or spending time with her daughter and even showing some emotion, for example smiling or .
    Yes, it is a bad thing but KK posing nude/seminude? Meh. She always is, like in that Thailand photoshoot,.

  28. Maria says:

    i dont think hackers needed to take time. the icloud was not exactly secure. you could (or still can, i dont know) fail at entering the passwords without it locking after some failed attempts. even the most basic email accounts lock you out after 3 or 5 failed tries.
    it means that you just need to run a programm that tries every combination. it takes some time, but it can run in the background and as its never locked out it could pratically run for two years. also most people have horrible passwords, like “password1” or “12345”. so its pretty easy to get into accounts.
    so im not even sure if its exactly “hacking” as they are not breaking anything, they are just guessing the passwords. you know they are not breaking into the house via smashing the window, they are looking around the house for an extra key. that is still illegal but its something different.

    personally i dont think she leaked them. if they were on their own, i’d believe it but together with all the others it seems too random.

    • BestJess says:

      According to the law it’s not different. If you enter someone’s home uninvited through an open window and steal stuff, the crime is still burglary as it would be if you smashed a window to enter and steal stuff. It is certainly different on a technical skill level but not on a crime level. Then anyone using those stolen goods, knowing full well they were stolen would be considered guilty of receiving.

      On a reply to the whole thread, I’m surprised so many people here have not only looked at the photos but apparently studied them in enough detail to be able to pronounce them definitively photoshopped or not. That’s really gross. They are perpetuating the crime. A crime which targets women because only women’s bodies are considered public property, only women are encouraged to be constantly sexual and then castigated for it. If a female takes naked selfies and sends them to her man, who responds with his own, he is being a lad and she is being a slut. If you seek out and look at photos you know are stolen you’re every bit as gross as those who stole the photos.

    The pics were still on Reddit a few hours ago in a different sub-reddit. They look to be old pics, as she is much thinner than now. I also think she leaked them herself.

    Feel sorry for anyone who has there private photos stolen. Can only hope they find the people doing it and that legal action is taken and convictions include jail time.

    New poster here. This comment is indirectly related to this story. I called Apple yesterday concerning an issue with my iPhone, particularly a new ‘iCloud’ update. Now, I have become suspicious of Apple’s ability to protect my privacy through iCloud, and didn’t want to accept the update since the update stated that it was optional. However, when I declined the update, my iPhone almost completely shutdown. I didn’t remember my password, so I called Apple for some assistance. The agent was very courteous and assisted me. However, when I told the agent that I was concerned about the practicality of iCloud’s security system, and asked if there was any way that I would know if I were being hacked or had been hacked, the agent skirted the issue and said things like hacking only really happened to celebs. Although I know this to be untrue, I told her that although I don’t take nude pics, I would still like to keep a guard over the situation since iCloud is basically needed for a lot of usages on the iPhone including the downloading of music. The agent eventually said she didn’t know after skirting the issue again. I called Apple and spoke to another rep because I had another issue with my phone and asked that rep as well, and she basically said the same thing, “I’m not sure.” Even though Apple failed to take any responsibility for the hacking, one would think that they would have, at the least, informed their customer service agents of security measures and caution signs that their customers can look for in the case that they may have been hacked.

      The people at Applecare are some of the most uninformed people I’ve dealt with. Go to forums where people discuss issues without having to provide cover for a corporation. They are the ones who always find round about solutions, and bring up bugs that Apple doesn’t officially recognize the existence of.

    All the more reason to avoid taking nude selfies. I know people take them for their significant others or to gauge their progress when they’re working out, pregnancy, etc.

    why not just buy a digital camera, get one of the printers they hook up directly to, print them, send to SO in mail or hand pics to them. I know those still exist? But then, you can’t send them through email or can you? Fill me in.

    No, I don’t think these women deserve to have their phones hack, and I think it would suck to be in their positions, but it proves that one has to be incredibly careful.

    I’ve never taken nudes, and with all these things coming up with leaked ones, it makes me all the more paranoid. I have way too meant identifiable markers to even take one without my head cut off.

    I hope the women are able to get justice, but considering most internet law are still in their infancy, I’m pretty doubtful.

    Just my two cents.

  33. Nicole says:

    I don’t care how many nude pictures she publishes, it’s absolutely wrong and a violation to steal her private pictures. She has a right to share her body. She has a right to control her image. And she has the same right to withhold her body whenever she wants to – just as a woman has a right to change her mind during sex and say no.

    • don't kill me i'm french says:

      Yes! Yes! Yes!

    • McLeod says:

      There’s a difference between publishing and sharing pics with your significant other though.

      It sucks their pics were leaked regardless.

    • A. Key says:

      I totally agree. It’s disgusting that Kim’s invasion of privacy is mocked, but Lawrence’s is pitied. Why?
      It’s the same thing. What you do in public or as a job is one thing, what you do in private is another.
      No one has the right to your private life, regardless of what kind of a job you have!!

      • LaurieH says:

        Okay, but selling her private life for public consumption *IS* Kim’s “job”. That is not Jennifer Lawrence’s job. Kim clearly does not have a problem making her privacy public and she clearly has no problem flashing her body in public. She only has a problem with it when she’s not personally profiting off of it. Now, if the hackers had (or do) release photos of North, that would be something that even Kim’s biggest detractors would be upset about because that IS something that Kim has very publicly said she wants to keep private.

      • don't kill me i'm french says:

        @LaurieH
        It’s the same person who released all the pics of hacked women celebrities.What Kardashian sells her life doesn’t want to say that everyone can steal and release her private pics

      • Nedsdag says:

        I’m not pitying anybody. Buy a freaking camera, wear a bikini, and print out your own damn pictures. I’m sick of these egotistical celebrities who take nude photos of themselves on their cell phones for their egotistical pleasures.

  34. Ash says:

    Obviously Apple’s security isn’t strong.

    • jwoolman says:

      It’s not clear that iCloud is the source of the leak- it’s just one of many possibilities since the victims had iPhones (like so many others in Hollywood). Since the attacks seem to be very targeted, it’s actually likely that other methods were used to hack those particular accounts over the past few years. If people don’t have strong passwords, they are vulnerable to that kind of attack. Apple did fix potential problems with iCloud security, but they would have known if someone really had tried a kazillion password combinations on any particular account – it would be logged even if not prevented. They didn’t see that, so if someone took them from an iCloud acct, they already knew the password from other sources.

    I don’t care that Lardassian got hacked…by her mother.

  36. Kimberly says:

    LOL the photos were leaked just like her sex tape with Ray J right?
    Oh yeah.

    BTW didn’t she pose nude for GQ recently?
    So I don’t think people really care cause we know what she looks like naked.

    Btw I BET she ‘leaked’ those photos herself.

  37. lovelostgrl says:

    Leaked photos?? Ha ha ha. She leaked them herself. She’s pathetic and desperate.

  38. Astrid says:

    We live in an age where privacy is almost non existent. If you doesn’t want photos shared, don’t take them via electronic media!!

  39. ketjo says:

    she uses Blackberry’s …not Iphones…..if she was hacked it would have been by her own mother….and besides what parts haven’t we seen…google Naked Kim K take the decency filter off and you will get legs wide open and the front door opened so wide you could almost see her uterus…..
    and very simple cure for all this “leaking and invasion of privacy ladies….Don’t post anything you don’t want others to see or find out on any media instrument…phone , computer , etc.. if you have to photograph yourself naked then keep the photos sticks in a safe hiding place..end of problem….cause its like trying to keep your most valuable property in a safe with the door wide open…..don’t do it…

    • Missy says:

      Katjo, I cant believe I am about to say this: I googled it. And you know those pics are fake right? In every shot she has a different set of boobs. Come on!!

      • ketjo says:

        Oh I know the two you mean but the out takes from that video or her with Ray J are not and that are totally intimate…and up close and personal….they is no denying them….and the other shots are from Playboy…so they are real….she my dear is a truly “nasty girl” ….

  40. Dany says:

    Just because this woman makes a living with her private live in a silly scripted reality show and likes to show her body doesn´t mean she was no victim here. For the moment there is no evidence that she leaked them herself. No one knows how old the pictures are. People own different/ more than one mobile over the years. Also no one knows from which phone(s) the photos are. Blackberry or not. No sure proof.

    This whole thing shows how different people feel and act when it comes to “fallen women”. Raping a prostitute is a crime too! Her job doesn´t make the crime less worth! Same here with Kim or every other female celeb who likes to show her body, makes playboy photos, plays in porns or whatever. These women decide the when, where and who and they get paid. It´s their decision. Leaking all these nude photos wasn´t their decision. So it´s a crime and they are the victims.

  41. jwoolman says:

    Of course Kim could have “leaked” her photos at the same time the others were uploaded. She could have a notification system set up for herself or a hireling and be ready to roll as soon as the next batch of pics were uploaded to the most likely sites. Kim may be vain and superficial, but she definitely knows her way around a smartphone. She’s a bit of a hacker herself and has violated the privacy of others in her family by hacking into their accounts, even while the cameras are rolling. She’s proud of those skills. Which means she’s also much less likely to be hacked, since she knows the security exploits.

    Her naked pics don’t really have the same value as the others because there is so much stuff already out there in addition to her sex tape and Playboy and now GQ. It’s like one of those “which one of these things doesn’t belong?” puzzles. She and her Demon Mother have a long history of releasing distracting stories to take away attention from other things and also to get tabloids talking about them again. I vote deliberate leak for Kim, timed to make it look as though a hacker was actually interested in her pics and able to get them.

  44. Henry says:

    the pics graphic of JLaw are FAKE. it’s confermated on reddit and 4chan. they were posted on google and porn sites since 2009. it’s defamation and isn’t okay

    “I might even know her body better than I know my own.”
    –classic Kaiser, perfect!

  46. nottakingthebait says:

    She definitely slipped her photos thru as to remain relevant. Firstly, no one with fake, inflatable assets should be seen naked except by their surgeon every 5-6 weeks. Secondly, the Kartoonishians are not famous for anything good so it’s a huge disgrace to the real celebs who’ve actually been hacked — like being victimized all over again by this high-priced hooker.

  47. harlte says:

    Oh please! I don’t believe she was hacked! This woman is famous for releasing her own sex tape, she most likely leaked her own nudes since she wants to be apart of this scandal in some way. I wouldn’t put it past the Kardashians to do something like this. They would even make up a fake racial attack to stay in the news.. Without that sex tape , she would not be living in 20 million mansions, driving expensive cars, getting to wear designer clothing,etc. Also, if she is upset about this ‘hack’, then she is a hypocrite considering she recently posed nude for GQ. Atleast I can believe that Lawrence, Hudgens, Union were genuinely hacked and are upset about it. Not this fraud.

  48. OMG!!!can any1 plzzz tell me exactly where can i get the photo’s????
