It is really sad the way the world gets bombarded withe these leaked photos, we barely have the time to get over one leaked picture before we are hit by another one VH1+ celebrity takes a look at this trend with a view to determine if they were deliberate as or not.
It’s almost comical when celebrities act shocked to learn their nude photos have hit the Internet. It’s the 21st century, people! You should know by now that if you don’t want your goodies out there for the world to see you probably shouldn’t take the pics to begin with. Whether actors or singers, males or females, even if you’re Jennifer Lawrence, no celebrity is safe from their private photos being spread.
Since no one is really that fazed by nude photo news anymore, it makes us wonder who — if any stars — are leaking their own scandalous assets to gain a little buzz. Maybe the High School Musical franchise wasn’t enough to meet a young Vanessa Hudgen‘s need for attention? We’re equally convinced that Kanye West‘s dick pic was a brilliant marketing strategy, as is everything Kanye does in life. We’re here to break down the history of “leaked” celebrity nude photos and help you decide whether or not they were in fact purposely put out into the world.
Paris Hilton, 2005
Leaked on purpose? No. In 2005, the avalanche of what would be nude celebrity photos taking over the Internet began when hotel heiress Hilton had her Sidekick (whoa, throwback) hacked. The culprit apparently also posted many of her A-list friends’ contact information. Seems like Paris didn’t leak the photos herself, but she couldn’t have cared much since everyone had spent A Night in Paris a year prior.
Adrienne Bailon 2008
Leaked on purpose? Yes. This Cheetah Girl showed her true spots when racy bedroom (or, what looked like a hotel room) photos were leaked from her laptop, according to her spokesperson. Although she prepped for a lawsuit, many believe that the photos — allegedly meant for ex-boyfriend Rob Kardashian — were actually supposed to spread on the Internet after the founder of JJ’s Dirt Website, Jonathan Jaxson, claimed he leaked the photos with the actress on purpose. Believe what you will…
Cassie 2009
Leaked on purpose? Maybe. The singer’s response (via Twitter) to the leak of her topless photos consisted of the following: “It seems that someone has hacked into my computer. That’s real foul and evil. Now stop acting like you haven’t seen a titty before.” She also took to her blog to say, “The photos were never intended for the world to see… At the end of the day breasts and breasts… people need to grow up, let’s move on.” Why so nonchalant, Cassie?
Rihanna, 2009
Leaked on purpose? Maybe. RiRi is notorious for being open about her sexuality and cake, cake, cake. Sources say someone under the alias name Young Turk leaked the photos online. When the pop diva found out, she responded by saying, “They were for my boyfriend at the time. If you don’t send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel bad for him.” Do we think she leaked them on purpose? Maybe. But did she care that they were out there? ABSOLUTELY not.
Ashley Greene, 2009
Leaked on purpose? No. The Twilight star confirmed the nude photos of her were real, when she lawyered up: “The photos in question, which appear to be of our client, are illegal and are being unlawfully displayed. Our client intends to take legal action,” said her reps. Her people also told Perez Hilton that “Ms. Greene is the owner of the copyrights in these photos, and as copyright owner, Ms. Greene owns the exclusive rights, among others, to reproduce, distribute, and to display the photos.” The starlet should’ve known that “copyright owner” or not, nothing remains private in the age of the Internet.
Kanye West, 2010
Leaked on purpose? Yes. We know Yeezy is a lot of things, but shy is not one of them. This also holds true when it comes to his body. When asked about his leaked dick pics on Funkmaster Flex’s radio show, he followed up by laughing: “Man have you heard the first line of ‘Runaway’?” The My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy song in question refers to Yeezy sending dick pics (“She find pictures in my email/I sent this girl a picture of my dick”). The rapper was not at all concerned about the leak, and even expressed that they didn’t do him justice: “You cannot imagine how disappointed I was that I got cut off. [Laughs] I was like ahhhhhh…” Likely story, Kanye.
Ke$ha, 2010
Leaked on purpose? Yes. It’s no secret this wild child is open about sex. Nude photos of her laying on a bed, with what looks like man juice on her, leaked in 2010, and no one was that surprised. But she wasn’t done just yet. In 2012, Ke$ha took her hit “Blow” extremely literally in a graphic photo of her performing oral sex. For many, it wasn’t a shock that the free-spirited singer documented herself going downtown.
