Jennifer Lawrence Responds to Nude Photo Hack: 'Just Because I'm an Actress Does Not Mean That I Asked For This'

"I started to write an apology, but I don't have anything to say I'm sorry for."

That's what Jennifer Lawrence has to say about the release of her personal nude photos, which went on the Internet roughly a month ago as part of the largest celebrity photo hack ever. Until now, Lawrence had stayed quiet about the event save for a statement from her reps about prosecuting against the person who stole the photos.

"Every single thing that I tried to write made me cry or get angry," she said in an interview with Vanity Fair. "I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years," she added, speaking of ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult. "It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he's going to look at you."

Lawrence also touched on one of the disturbing trends since the photos were released: the terminology used to describe it. Most people have said the photos were "leaked" rather than stolen, or that it was a "scandal" as opposed to a crime.

"It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime," Lawrence said. "It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting."

The "Hunger Games" actress also took the opportunity to address those who said that the celebrities involved were "asking for it" by taking nude photos in the first place. "Just because I'm a public figure, just because I'm an actress, does not mean that I asked for this," she said. "It does not mean that it comes with the territory. 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."

As for those who looked at the photos, Lawrence had harsh words for them, too. "Anybody who looked at those pictures, you're perpetuating a sexual offense," she said. "You should cower with shame."

But through it all, Lawrence still managed to show her famous sense of humor. In relating that she had to call her father to tell him what happened, she noted that it went better than it could have. "Fortunately, he was playing golf," she joked, "so he was in a good mood."
