Jennifer Lawrence Speaks Out About Nude Photo Hack, Sexual Violation

     It's been a little over a month since many nude photos of female celebrities were stolen and spread through the internet and for the first time since the event, Jennifer Lawrence is talking.
     In Vanity Fair's November issue, Lawrence speaks out about issues of consent and why this isn't a scandal; it's a sex crime.
     "It is a sexual violation," Lawrence said. "It’s disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. That’s why these Web sites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody’s mind is to make a profit from it. It’s so beyond me. I just can’t imagine being that detached from humanity. I can’t imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside."
     Laurence also talked about slut shaming and how women are held accountable for things that are not bad for them to do. Taking nude photos is someone personal and she is not in the wrong for taking the photos, rather other people are in the wrong for spreading and viewing them

     "I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for," she told Vanity Fair. "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.”

     I think Lawrence sharing her views about the event is very powerful and shows that this is not going to bring her down. Although this was a horrible event to occur to anyone, Lawrence has dealt with it through a perfect blend of sass and class. She is not going to apologize for her actions (nor should she have to,) but she also isn't going to dwell on this forever. Investigations are going on, but until they are finished, she is gracing famous magazine covers and getting ready for the release of the newest Hunger Games movie.
