The sexually charged denizens of the internet continue to foam and froth over the treasure trove of leaked celebrity nude pics from 4Chan over the past few days, with NSFW shots of Kate Upton, Jennifer Lawrence, Mary-Elizabeth Winstead and many others (over 100 total) all but breaking the internet as they spread like wildfire in a drought-ravaged field of horny boys. The FBI is insisting that they’re “closing in” on the culprits as the actresses, musicians and prominent celebrities attempt to deal with this surprisingly comprehensive invasion of privacy.
While Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton’s reps have confirmed the authenticity of the pics, one of the hacking victims, singer and former Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande, is sticking by her guns and insisting that reported nude pictures of her are fake – because her butt is “a lot cuter” in real life.
The “Problem” poplet took to Twitter to address the leaked pics of her, which reportedly feature the singer naked – a partially topless shot of her, and a from-the-back shot featuring her entire naked body. She laughed off the claims by joking she is “praying for” anyone who thought they were her.
“but forreal tho whoever thought those were actually me…… love u but I’m praying for u”
Unfortunately, as fellow Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice has discovered to her humiliating dismay, claiming that the photos are fake inspired a legion of hormonally supercharged amateur porno detectives to investigate. While we won’t link to the content directly, a Reddit search for either star’s name will result in a series of comparative photos allegedly verifying the authenticity of the nudes. Reddit and 4Chan users scoured the celeb profiles on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and more for evidence, matching jewelry (specifically an “Ariana Army” wristband), clothing and even body marks such as moles and musculature. Users have compiled supporting arguments to the claim that the leaked pics are, in fact, those of Grande and Justice.
The explicit images and photos were obtained by an individual or individuals hacking Apple’s iCloud service, who then published some to 4Chan. On Monday, the FBI confirmed in a statement that an investigation to find the responsible parties is underway. The statement read: “The FBI is aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter. Any further comment would be inappropriate at this time.”
