People want to see Kate Upton naked so badly that one website even created fake nudes of the Sports Illustrated model. The magazine, however, is not taking the situation lightly.

Celeb Jihad, whose website was down at the time of writing, uploaded what many are describing as obviously Photoshopped pictures of the 21-year-old model. The site, which claims to also have nudes of stars like Mila Kunis and Selena Gomez, said that the picture represents various "outtakes" from the 2014 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

TMZ first reported that Sports Illustrated is threatening to sue the website.

"One of these photographs has even been airbrushed," a lawyer wrote in a letter to the website, according to TMZ.

E! News confirmed that a letter was indeed written to Celeb Jihad. Another source also told E! News that "Upton has nothing to do with" the letter that was sent to Celeb Jihad.

"We've asked them to take down the photos and will move forward accordingly," a Sports Illustrated spokesperson said.

Celeb Jihad says that the possible lawsuit is "absolutely absurd."

"As pious Muslims we must only obey Shariah law, and thus can only be taken to trial in a Shariah court," the website said according to E! News.

The tabloid site added that they are "so unconcerned by legal threats," which are "laughable."

"Kate Upton is a woman, and thus livestock," Celeb Jihad said. "She has no legal rights under Shariah law. A perfect analogy would be a cow trying to sue a dairy farmer for pinching her teats."

The website concluded its offensive rant by "posting even more outtakes of Kate naked and getting pounded below." Celeb Jihad describes itself as a "holy Islam extremist celebrity gossip website."

Neither Upton nor her rep has yet to comment on the fake naked pictures.
