A series of nude photos allegedly depicting Jennifer Lawrence has been leaked on Twitter.
Hollywood Gossip reports the photos — which appear to show the 24-year-old Oscar-winning actress in various stages of undress — were leaked by an anonymous source, who is said to have 60 explicit images of her.
The star of The Hunger Games has earned a reputation for her down-to-earth attitude and candid interviews, and has been revered across the world for being a “regular” celebrity.
As a result, questions are circulating online as to their authenticity, and who is responsible for leaking the photos.
Are these photos actually of Jennifer Lawrence?
Lawrence’s spokespeople have confirmed the photos are real. They told TMZ: “This is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence.”
Since this story broke, a number of Twitter accounts posting uncensored photos of Jennifer Lawrence pictured nude have been suspended.
Who leaked them?
The pictures were leaked by an anonymous hacker who originally posted J-Law’s images on the photo-sharing website 4chan. The hacker was alleged to be sharing the photos in exchange for bitcoins – a digital form of transferring money that doesn’t involve a central bank.

Am disappointed that you posted a story supporting these women, and pointing out that this invasion of privacy is a violation. Then there is a link to name all the women!? They also had no choice in being publicly named. Negates whole purpose of your story.
I work in IT and am constantly amazed at the ignorance and what people will do. You have an iPhone or iPad provided and paid for by your work, that's great, why treat it like a toy and take selfies and personal pics with it? Use your own phone..
When the device crashes and IT have to recover your data (for the court case you were supposed to be working on), yes we can see those photos of you and your significant other. Here is a hint, I'm tired of seeing that rubbish.
