This nude photo leak over the weekend has everyone talking.
Not only were pics of Jennifer Lawrence, Victoria Justice, Kate Upton, and MANY more hacked and leaked, but the issue of privacy was brought to the forefront.
And with this violation, a slew of other celebs are speaking out to defend the privacy of those women who had private pics stolen from them:
Even worse than seeing women's privacy violated on social media is reading the accompanying comments that show such a lack of empathy.

The way in which you share your body must be a CHOICE. Support these women and do not look at these pictures.

Remember, when you look at these pictures you are violating these women again and again. It's not okay.
— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) September 1, 2014
Seriously, do not forget that the person who stole these pictures and leaked them is not a hacker: they're a sex offender.

The "don't take naked pics if you don't want them online" argument is the "she was wearing a short skirt" of the web. Ugh.

“Don’t worry bro, it would just be photos of food and other people’s dogs anyway. #SeriouslyThoIHopeThatGuyGoesToJail #Wheeeee”
Although, some tweets weren’t as supportive as Ricky Gervais commented:
He did later explain himself and his joke:
Making a joke about a thing doesn't mean you condone that thing.

Of course the hackers are 100% to blame but you can still makes jokes about it. Jokes don't portray your true serious feelings on a subject
