The Kate Upton nude photo leak issue that also affected other famous celebrities has paved way to the idea of exhibition by an artist. But "The Other Woman" actress' alleged naked pictures will no longer be shown after the artist retracted its decision as the items on the supposed show are "stolen property."
"The Other Woman" actress Kate Upton nude photo leak, as well as "Hunger Games" actress Jennifer Lawrence and other stars, were set to be exhibited in XVALA's photo gallery but the plan was recently junked, The Independent said.
He said in a press statement, "It wasn't just about being 'hacked' images anymore, but now presented in the media as stolen property."
The message added, "People were identifying with Jennifer Lawrence's and Kate Upton's victimisation, much more than I had anticipated, which is powerfully persuasive."
"This concept was always about self-examination in our current culture. Why we feel the need to know and cross the lines of other individuals' privacy."
The said photo gallery, which is titled "No Delete", is set to take place at the Cory Allen Contemporary Art gallery in St. Petersburg, Florida, The Washington Post said.
However, after its publicity highlited the leaked Kate Upton nude photo as well as other celebrities', a public social media outrage followed suit.
The exhibition will still continue as the artist has been working for several years to come up with the said gallery. It will display a large collection of personal celebrity photos that he found in the internet, which he hopes to raise awareness on digital privacy.
Two weeks ago, news broke that there was a massive nude photo and video leak from about 100 celebrities and were posted in 4Chan website.
Aside from "The Other Woman" actress' Kate Upton's nude photo leak, also included in the controversy are "Big Bang Theory" Season 8 cast Kaley Cuoco, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian and Rihanna.
Names of Vanessa Hudgens, Kirsten Dunst, Cara Delevingne and Kate Bosworth were also dragged in the massive hack issue.
Apple has already cleared that there were no discrepancies in its security systems as reports said it paved way to the hack of personal accounts that are connected to the iCloud.
Meanwhile, FBI is still continuing its investigation regarding the issue.
