Jennifer Lawrence says that gossip blogger Perez Hilton was wrong to post leaked nude photos of her on his website.
Hundreds of private images leaked online in the past few months, including dozens of Lawrence, in an event dubbed by some as “The Fappening.”
The full Vanity Fair November cover story with Lawrence hit the web on Monday, and in it Lawrence takes Hilton to task for posting then removing the photos.
“He took it down because people got pissed, and that’s the only reason why,” Lawrence said.
“And then I had to watch his apology. And what he basically said was ‘I just didn’t think about it.’ ‘I just didn’t think about it’ is not an excuse. That is the exact issue itself.”
Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, did take the pictures down and apologized for posting them.
“At work we often have to make quick decisions. I made a really bad one today and then made it worse. I feel awful and am truly sorry,” Hilton said at the time.
“I was never contacted by her publicist or her lawyer,” Hilton said in a video message. “I genuinely took the photos down because I stopped and thought about it — and because of you. A lot of you let me know that my actions were wrong. I didn’t even stop to think about my actions.”
He later vowed never to post similar photos on his website again.
In another part of the story, Lawrence told Vanity Fair that even the people just looking at her photos were wrong.
“I can’t even describe to anybody what it feels like to have my naked body shoot across the world like a news flash against my will. It just makes me feel like a piece of meat that’s being passed around for a profit.”
She said that she was thinking of writing a public statement, or an apology. “But I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he’s going to look at you.”
