Jennifer Lawrence has finally spoken about her stolen nude photos. In the November issue of Vanity Fair, Lawrence described the hacking not as a scandal, but as a "sex crime" and wants the person behind it to be called sex offenders.
According to Sydney Morning Herald, Lawrence looks at the incident as a "disgusting" sexual violation. Quoting from the interview with Vanity Fair, Lawrence said: "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."
Lawrence called the incident a sex crime. Following this statement, Mail Online says that Lawrence wants the law to change to persecute sex offenders invading privacy in the same way. Lawrence also said that it's beyond her how "somebody can be sexually exploited and violated and the first thought that crosses somebody's mind is to make a profit from it." For the "Hunger Games" star, this is an act that is "detached from humanity."
The star also admitted that she was scared for her career when the leaked photos started surfacing at the end of August. As for why she did not speak about the matter immediately when "The Fappening" was on its first batch, the actor said that everything she wrote made her either cry or get angry.
Lawrence further shared that she had initially planned on writing 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 porn or he's going to look at you," she explained. The actor also said that even people she knew looked at the photos and wanted to avoid being mad despite the fact that she did not give them permission to look at her naked body.
Lawrence was already slated for a Vanity Fair feature before the incident. Contributing editor Sam Kashner met with Lawrence on August 13, but after the news broke, Kashner decided to follow up to offer the star "a chance to have the last word."
According to Vanity Fair, the magazine's digital issue will be out on October 8 and will be available in newsstands October 9.
