First male celebrity victimized by iCloud hackers
Following three massive rounds of leaked nude photos featuring female celebrities, the first male celebrity has been victimized by believed iCloud hackers.* TMZ reports “voluminous and graphic” nude pictures of Nick Hogan and various ex-girlfriends were leaked this weekend.
The extensive collection of Nick’s personal photos allegedly include some of his then-underage girlfriends from high school. There are also two pictures of his mom, Linda Hogan, bent over with a thong on and multiple pictures of a penis. According to TMZ, Nick said the pictures of his mom weren’t on his personal iCloud (as far as he knew) and that the below the neck penis pictures aren’t him. He conceded some of the other pictures are legitimate. He said he kept them because he isn’t in the habit of deleting things. Some have noted that Nick, now 24, could be in trouble for even keeping the old pictures because he is technically in possession of child porn.
Along with Nick, a handful of new female celebrities were targeted in this fourth round of leaks. The short list of new victims includes: Erin Heatherton, Winona Ryder, AnnaLynne McCord, Ingrid Michaelson, Nina Dobrev and foreign models.
The leak is the first since attorney-to-the-stars Marty Singer threatened to sue Google executives on behalf of some targeted celebrities for “failing to act expeditiously and responsibly to remove the images” and “making millions and profiting from the victimization of women.” Meanwhile, the FBI continues to investigate.
