Thank you. Was beginning to wonder if there was any common sense on this thread.
Miss Lawrence did not give the pictures to a friend, share them, leak them or anything else that would change or compromise an expectation of privacy. She may well have had pictures of herself having undergone cancer surgery and they would have been sold for profit. The crime is the same as if the pictures were in a box under her bed. Her pictures, her home. Violated.
What she does with her body and her camera are really nobody’s business but her own. For those who still don’t get it, here’s a better analogy. It is as if she had private photos stored in a safe deposit box, only to find that all the boxes in the bank can be accessed by a master key. Those who chastise her are saying, “she should not have put her private papers in a safe deposit box if she didn’t want people to see them.”
Unlike the Kim Kardashians of the world, she not leak a sex tape or whatever to make herself more well known. Her privacy was violated. Doesn’t matter what was in the folder.
Period.
No it is not. She did share the pictures by sending them to someone via cell phone. That is as if she had a box of photos and set them on her front steps for a few hours and THEN hid them under her bed.
The act of taking nude photos of oneself is one's own business. But when she sent them via cell phone to someone else without considering the danger inherent in the technology, she screwed up.
What was done to get those pics is a crime. No doubt. Someone should be prosecuted and punished. But Jennifer Lawrence should realize she is not blameless.
