Celebrity Nude Photo Scandal: Hackers Leak Intimate Photos of Nick Hogan and His High School Girlfriends
Reality TV star Nick Hogan has become one of the latest celebrity victims of the ongoing leaked nude photo scandal.
According to TMZ, hackers tapped into his iCloud account and exposed several nude and graphic pics of the 24-year-old son of legendary pro wrestler Hulk Hogan, including intimate photos of his high school girlfriends. In the pics, which were taken years ago, the teen girls are seen in various states of undress and sexual positions.
When questioned why he decided to keep pictures of the underage girls, which is considered child pornography, he said he keeps all photos and recordings from his life.
However, Hogan claims that a picture of a penis and two photos of his mother posing in a thong were not in his iCloud.
The "Hogan Knows Best" star is a standout in the celebrity photo leak scandal that has predominantly targeted women.
The first massive leak of 100 nude photos of female celebrities occurred during Labor Day weekend. A hacker uploaded dozens of nude photos of female celebrities, including A-list stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, to the message-board website 4Chan. The pics then quickly went viral, sparking debate over celebrity privacy, cyberbullying and slut-shamming.
Other stars who were affected by the leak include "Big Bang Theory's" Kaley Cuoco, pop singer Ariana Grande, who claims that her photos are fake, and singer/actress Jill Scott.
Rihanna, Vanessa Hudgens, Mary-Kate Olsen, Hayden Panettiere, and Gabrielle Union were exposed in a second wave of leaked nude pics. In the third wave, on Sept. 26, hackers stole pics from actress Anna Kendrick, who was clothed in 87 leaked photos, and Olympic champion Misty May-Treanor, reports Newsday.
"We've removed tens of thousands of pictures -- within hours of the requests being made -- and we have closed hundreds of accounts. The Internet is used for many good things. Stealing people's private photos is not one of them," said a Google spokesperson to the British newspaper The Independent over the weekend.
