Iggy Azalea Opens Up About Her Leaked Nude Photos
Australian rapper Iggy Azalea woke up to the bad news over the weekend when she found a number of her nude images from GQ photo shoot got leaked online.
The photographer of the photos taken in 2016 Nino Munoz claimed that they were stolen. He took to Instagram to share his part of the story.
“I’m outraged and saddened to find out that images of mine were stolen and published without my permission,” he wrote. “There is currently an investigation underway. Posting these stolen images is illegal and anyone who has done so will be prosecuted.
“I empathize with any discomfort that this situation has caused to anyone that is involved wrote Munoz.
Iggy was visibly infuriated and too a legal step to get the justice she feels deserves.
A lot of high profile women have shot covers with GQ with a strategically placed hand etc covering their breasts etc.,” she wrote in part. “I always felt they were very beautiful covers, so I jumped at the opportunity. I hadn’t seen other women’s covers leak so I felt comfortable (on a closed set) to model for such a reputable magazine knowing only the images with my hands covering would be considered for print.
“I never consented to taking topless pictures for potential release, period. I don’t feel there is any where I can retreat to or that I have a ‘happy place’ I can wait until it all blows over. Please think of how you might feel if the shoe was yours to wear.”
She further stated how the comments of men disturbed her.
“A lot of the comments I see from men in particular taking things even further and sharing their thoughts and fantasies in regard to my body has honestly disturbed me,” she continued. “The outright wicked things people say is overwhelming & makes me feel like throwing up.”
She deactivated her social media accounts and said she won’t be reactivating them anytime because she feels utterly embarrassed.
