Nude photographs of Jennifer Lawrence - as well as
photographs that purportedly show multiple celebrities -
have leaked online.
The cell phone photos were reportedly obtained through
iCloud before they were published on a 4chan thread.
A list of the alleged victims reportedly posted by the
hacker has also appeared. There are 101 names in total.
Most of the alleged victims named have not seen their
photographs leaked by the hacker.
Reps for Lawrence confirmed to MailOnline the photos of
her are real.
'This is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities have
been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the
stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence,' the emailed statement
read.
The hacker wrote Sunday he or she is accepting Paypal
donations for a video which allegedly shows Lawrence
performing a sex act.
The hacker also wrote, 'I know no one will believe me, but i
have a short lawrence video
'Is way too short, a little over 2 minutes and you only get
to see her boobs
'Anyways, if somebody wants it let me know how i can
upload it anonymously (i dont want the FBI over me, and
you dont wanna know how I got this video.)'
'Jennifer Lawrence' became a Twitter trend on Sunday
afternoon.
A rep for Kate Upton sent MailOnline a statement from her
attorney, Lawrence Shire, about the leaked photos.
'This is obviously an outrageous violation of our client
Kate Upton's privacy,' the emailed statement said. 'We
intend to pursue anyone disseminating or duplicating
these illegally obtained images to the fullest extent
possible.'
Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who confirmed she was
a hacking victim, wrote on Twitter 'To those of you looking
at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy
of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves.'

She also expressed sympathy for others, tweeting
'Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only

everyone who got hacked.'
Winstead implied she was facing difficulties on Twitter
Sunday, when she tweeted 'Great day for the block button!'
Twitter is shutting down accounts that are disseminating
the pictures.
In response to a request for comment from MailOnline, a
Twitter spokesman said 'We do not comment on individual
accounts, for privacy and security reasons,' and referred
MailOnline to the company's content boundaries web
page.
Photographs that allegedly show Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting,
Lea Michele, Brie Larson, Kirsten Dunst, Becca Tobin,
Hope Solo, Teresa Palmer, Krysten Ritter, McKayla
Maroney, Jessica Brown-Findlay, Ali Michael, and Yvonne
Strahovski appeared online.
Some of the women named as alleged victims - but who
have not had any of their nude photographs leaked -
include Aubrey Plaza, Candice Swanepoel, Cara
Delevingne, Cat Deeley, Hillary Duff, Kelly Brook, Michelle
Keegan, Selena Gomez, Rihanna and Vanessa Hudgens.
A spokesperson for Ms. Keegan denied she had been
targeted.
A rep for Keke Palmer - who was mentioned on the list but
whose photographs were not leaked - told MailOnline
'Obviously there is no truth to this list and no nude photos
of Ms. Palmer.'
Model Gabi Grecko - also named on the list but whose
photographs have not been published - told Daily Mail
Australia 'I feel like anything I didn't release myself that
was accessed without my permission is shameful.'
'Some people are very private and maybe hugely affected
and feel violated because of this. There have also been
many suicides connected to non consented photos being
released.'

Not all of the nude photographs are genuine, however.

that claim to show her are fake.
Similarly, Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice wrote on
Twitter that her image was faked.
She tweeted, 'These so called nudes of me are FAKE
people. Let me nip this in the bud right now. *pun
intended.*'
Justice retweeted a user named @JusticeCosgrove, who
wrote 'GUYD [sic] WE ARE SO STUPID THE VICTORIA
JUSTICE NUDES ARE FAKE, LOOK. CLEARLY AN OLD
PICTURE OF HER EDITED & FLIPPED.'
@JusticeCosgrove included a selfie of Justice, alongside a
portion of her face that was seen in one of the 'leaked'
photographs.
Seth Rogen criticized the hacker on Twitter, writing
'Posting pics hacked from a cell phone is really no
different than selling stolen merchandise.'
'I obviously am not comparing women to merchandise.
Just legally speaking, it shouldn't be tolerated to repost
stolen pics,' Rogen also tweeted.
