Several female stars have become victims of a hacker who has been releasing naked photos since Sunday. Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Victoria Justice, and Ariana Grande are just some of the celebrities on the list released online.
'Glee' star Lea Michele's nude photos were hacked as well. According to The Epoch Times, Reddit users suspected that the set of snaps in Imgur was Michele's.
The photos didn't show the woman's face, except for one unclear picture. The rest however, showed a tattoo on the woman's side, which prompted some Reddit users to suggest that those were Lea Michele.
However, fans have come forward to defend the singer-actress.
"I think those are fakes. Lea has a tattoo on her side but it says 'If you Say so' her ex's last words, not 'Love,'" one Reddit user reportedly said.
Another user added, "She has 14 tattoos on her body, these pictures are all fake."
The alleged Lea Michel nude photos were hacked by an anonymous person who claims to have hundreds of compromising pictures from celebrities. He claims to have 60 naked photos and a sex video of Jennifer Lawrence alone.
The hacker is said to have obtained the private pictures by gaining access to their iCloud accounts which was enabled through an Apple security issue.
Several fans, along with other stars expressed their support to the victims of the hacking.
Emma Watson, in particular, slammed social media's reaction to the hacked photos.
"Even worse than seeing women's privacy violated on social media is reading the accompanying comments that show such a lack of empathy," the British actress' tweet read.
A representative for Jennifer Lawrence called the incident "a flagrant violation of privacy." Kate Upton's camp is also currently "looking into it."
Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice, on the other hand, have slammed the supposed naked pictures of themselves through their own social media accounts.
No statement has been issued regarding Lea Michele's nude photos. Hacked or not, the star seems to be unfazed as she spent time with her father on his birthday following the massive leak.
