Rihanna, Amber Heard Nudes Are the Latest in Second Wave of Leaked Pics
A few hours after several new stolen celebrity nudes were posted to Reddit yesterday, new items from an apparently extensive collection of hacked celebrity photos started to pop up—including photos allegedly of Gabrielle Union, Kate Bosworth, Hayden Panetierre, and Lake Bell, and private videos said to feature Aubrey Plaza and Jennifer Lawrence. UPDATE 5:51 pm: Apparent photos of Rihanna, Amber Heard, and Meagan Good have also leaked to Reddit.
This newest set of leaks, which comes three weeks after dozens of nude photos of a host of female celebrities were uploaded and distributed on the internet, began with leaked nude pictures apparently stolen from Kim Kardashian West, and kept developing through Saturday as the subreddit /r/celebnsfw became the unofficial home of the new photos. (Earler this month, Reddit shut down /r/thefappening, a subreddit set up to collect the nudes in the last leak.) Leelee Sobieski, Kaley Cuoco, Jennifer Lawrence, Hope Solo, and Vanessa Hudgens were among the celebrities targeted this time.
It's unclear if the latest nudes dump comes from the same collection—gathered by, apparently, a loosely affiliated ring of celebrity nude traders and hackers—that was the source of the original leak over Labor Day weekend.
In response to the latest invasion of privacy, Gabrielle Union's legal team has contacted the FBI, TMZ reports. Union and husband Dwayne Wade released a joint statement yesterday evening:
"It has come to our attention that our private moments, that were shared and deleted solely between my husband and myself, have been leaked by some vultures."
They add, "I can't help but to be reminded that since the dawn of time women and children, specifically women of color, have been victimized, and the power over their own bodies taken from them. These atrocities against women and children continue worldwide."
