Jennifer Lawrence has finally broken her silence on the recent leak of naked photographs she sent a partner which were stolen and leaked on website 4Chan.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, the 24-year-old Oscar winner broke her silence for the first time on the theft which has affected many young Hollywood stars including Winona Ryder and Mary-Kate Olsen.

Understandingly furious at the theft of her personal photos, the star said “Just because I’m a public figure, just because I’m an actress, does not mean that I asked for this. It does not mean that it comes with the territory.

She continued “It’s my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting.

I can’t believe that we even live in that kind of world. It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. 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.”
