Jennifer Lawrence recently did an interview with Vogue magazine and opened up a bit about the photos that were released only about a month ago. Of course I assumed that it would be swept under the rug and never spoken of again but I must admit that it is pretty nice that Jennifer opened to the magazine about it and really gave her true feelings. Nothing was held back and she did one thing that was impressive, she didn’t apologize. Truthfully there is no need for an apology for photos like that being leaked. They were being sent to her boyfriend of nearly four years and they were meant for only him.
Here are a few excerpts from her interview.
On the leak: “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. 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.”
On deciding if she should write an apology: “Every single thing that I tried to write made me cry or get angry. I started to write an apology, but I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for. 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.”
On how she feels now: “Time does heal, you know. I’m not crying about it anymore. I can’t be angry anymore. I can’t have my happiness rest on these people being caught, because they might not be. I need to just find my own peace.”
On her message to tabloids who published her pictures: “You have a choice. You don’t have to be a person who spreads negativity and lies for a living. You can do something good. You can be good. Let’s just make that choice and—it feels better.”
This interview was just so refreshing, I give her so much credit for standing up for herself. Obviously this is a crime, this hacking was a true crime getting into people’s personal files and it doesn’t matter if she is a famous actress or not.
