On Sunday, entertainment blogger Perez Hilton issued an apology via Twitter regarding his decision to post the iCloud hacked nude pictures of Jennifer Lawrence and Victoria Justice on his popular Perez Hilton website.

"No, I haven't been forced to do so or been contacted by their reps, but I am removing those uncensored photos of JLaw and Victoria Justice," Hilton started his apology.

Hilton then attributed his original decision to post the hacked pics to his fast-paced work environment. "At work we often have to make quick decisions. I made a really bad one today and then made it worse. I feel awful and am truly sorry."

Hilton later concluded his online apology by confirming once again that he would remove the photos."Upon further reflection and just sitting with my actions, I don't feel comfortable even keeping the censored photos up. I am removing them," he ended his apology.

In addition to his Twitter apology, Hilton also posted a YouTube video in which he apologized for his poor judgment as well.

In the video, Hilton addresses the backlash he received from critics calling him a "rapist" and "sex offender."

Although he does not agree with those accusations, Hilton explains that he is "sincerely sorry."

Jennifer Lawrence has yet to respond to Hilton's apology.

However, since the iCloud hack that took place on Labor Day weekend, Lawrence's reps have come forward in saying that the authorities have been contacted to resolve the scandal and ensure swift action against the hacking perpetrators.

"This is a flagrant violation of privacy," Lawrence's rep recently told E! News. "The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence."

A HollywoodLife.com source also revealed that Lawrence is worried that the nude photo leak may hurt her career.

"Jen is horrified over this leak and knows that this will possibly effect her upcoming roles," says the Hollywood Life source. "She knows that A list stars don't have this type of controversy attached to them and is very much horrified over the whole situation."

In addition to Lawrence and Victoria Justice, alleged nude photos of Ariana Grande, Kate Upton, Selena Gomez and other celebrities have been leaked online.
