Jennifer Lawrence is celebrated for her forthrightness, and the Oscar-winning actress did not hold back when commenting on the nude photo leak that targeted her and other celebrities."It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting," she said in this month's Vanity Fair.
"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."
An anonymous hacker broke into digital accounts of celebs -- including Rihanna, Kate Upton, and Arianna Grande -- and posted their nude photos online. The pics spread across the internet, though many sites have since taken them down.
"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," Lawrence continued.
Some of the celebs have been criticized for taking nude photos in the first place, but Lawrence refused to apologize for it.
"I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years," she noted, referring to ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult. "It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he's going to look at you."
To those who clicked on the pics, Lawrence has a fiery message: "You're perpetuating a sexual offense. You should cower with shame."
