An intimate video of Nicole Scherzinger and her former boyfriend Lewis Hamilton was leaked online by hackers over the weekend.
On Saturday night, a short video surfaced that showed the Pussycat Dolls singer and her 34-year-old ex cuddling and kissing in bed. The video has reportedly been viewed nearly 300,000 times already!

For those who may not know, the former couple dated on-and-off for about eight years before splitting for good in 2015, but it sounds like a few determined internet trolls are hellbent on digging up private mementos of their past here.
A source tells The Sun that Nicole is worried more of her personal videos and pictures will be leaked soon too:
“Nicole wants it down. It’s hugely embarrassing and distressing for her to have something this intimate and private out there. Nicole’s very worried that more videos and pictures will be leaked in the next couple of days.”
Ugh, we can’t imagine how frustrating and scary this must be! Some things should absolutely be left private…
Right now the general consensus is that hackers leaked the clip, but no other information has surfaced about who else might have had access to the singer’s files.
“She feels hugely violated that someone’s been looking through her private pictures and is concerned this is just the start of a nightmare. She’s particularly worried as she deleted that video a long time ago, so it must have been hacked from the Cloud.”
Hmm, it sounds like Lewis isn’t being considered as a suspect here — which makes sense as he’d have just as much to lose by these sensitive docs being leaked too.
But it begs the question, what does someone have to gain by doing this aside from embarrassing an innocent person? Knock it off, trolls!
