The man behind a site posting naked photos of Jennifer Lawrence and many other celebrities has spoken, and according to him, it's good PR and will continue to post subsequent photos. Meanwhile, Lawrence is officially back in the eyes of the public for the premiere night of "Serena."
Daily Caller names the person running the website where the photos of Lawrence, Kate Upton, and countless other celebrities surfaced as one Sergei Kholodovskii who isn't apologetic of his site's involvement. In fact, according to Kholodovskii, as reported by The Sun, "If there are more pictures to post, we will post them."
Kholodovskii maintains that the unnamed site is owned by a business partner residing in Europe, but he is behind "hosting and all technical matters" related with it. The 28-year-old "technical brains" behind the website is also not the hacker. He states that the photos did good for unknown celebrities who were now being talked about. As for whether the photos should be taken down, Kholodovskii speaks up that the site does not do anything illegal. "If you do a Google check on each picture, you will find them easily on the internet or on social networks," he said.
Just recently, Lawrence has spoken up about the photos through Vanity Fair, calling them a "sex crime." Following the first wave of naked photos, Lawrence has kept silent and was unseen for several days.
However, she was at the London premiere of her movie with Bradley Cooper, "Serena," on Monday. This marks Lawrence's first public appearance since the scandal, says Irish Independent. For the event, Lawrence dressed up in a Dior dress showing some cleavage and posing for photographers for the first time since July, the site notes.
Though she is officially back, Mail Online has her trying to look discreet as she arrived at LAX airport on Tuesday. The star had her cardigan pulled up and her head bowed low, but a personal guard was by her side and a limousine ready and waiting, describes the article.
