Jennifer Lawrence: Got Over Her Nude Leaks By Getting Raunchy
Jennifer Lawrence exposes herself after being exposed.
Jennifer Lawrence is taking back her own body image and reflecting on a time in 2014 when it was completely taken from her with the release of nude photos. She’s moved past it and went maximum sexy and funny, stripping naked in No Hard Feelings.
Like more than 100 other celebrities, Jennifer Lawrence was the target of hackers in 2014 who managed to compromise Apple’s iCloud accounts, giving them access to private camera rolls that, for many stars, included private nude photos that were then disseminated online for everyone to see. Suddenly, nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence were everywhere.
Unfortunately, in most cases, like in the case of Jennifer Lawrence’s nude photos, that means that they now exist in a searchable form forever.
Jennifer Lawrence Embraces Nudity For Red Sparrow
However, now the decision to show off her body in photoshoots as well as in movies like Red Sparrow carries an entirely different connotation.
Talking about her decision to do nudity in Red Sparrow, Lawrence told the Today Show Australia, “It was really scary to say yes to the [Red Sparrow] movie because I knew the only way to tell the story is if I agreed to really do the scenes and go full Monty.”
In end, though, the decision to take her clothes off in Red Sparrow may have actually helped Jennifer Lawrence deal with lingering trauma from that previous nude photo leak.
She says, “It took a while to say yes – and the night before, I didn’t sleep at all, and I was obviously really nervous because it is the actual nightmare of standing in front of a classroom naked. But then, after I finished the scene, I felt empowered.”
Jennifer Lawrence Got Raunchy For Comedy In No Hard Feelings
Jennifer Lawrence seems to be continuing down her path of finding empowerment in nudity. She appeared in the raunchy R-rated comedy No Hard Feelings.
The movie’s premise involves Lawrence as a woman paid to seduce a nerd and failing at the task. The No Hard Feelings trailer touted the fact that the movie would contain Jennifer Lawrence nudity. Fans were pumped, and the actress delivered.
Overall, critics were on board with what happened here with Jennifer Lawrence and scored it 71 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Nude Photo Leak
In a recent interview, Lawerence revealed that after her nude photo leak, there was “a long period when I didn’t want to be seen sexually, and I didn’t want anybody to see my flesh”.
In a past interview with Vanity Fair, Jennifer Lawrence spoke about having to cope with the fact that she no longer had control over when to show her nudity and how much the public is allowed to see. While she noted that her “trauma will exist forever,” she’s able to shake it off these days and is even willing to show off her body again.
She did a steamy and, given the context, empowering photoshoot (see it above) with the magazine in which she poses in tasteful shots in her underwear and other fashionable loungewear. Many years later and Jennifer Lawrence is still as attractive as ever.
Jennifer Lawrence’s Ongoing Trauma After Nude Photo Leak
The mastermind behind the violating hack only received an eight-month prison sentence. Meanwhile, celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, whom he targeted by releasing their nude photos, are forced to live with the fallout of the experience forever.
Jennifer Lawrence has frequently noted that she still feels the burden of the violation every day; someone somewhere is constantly re-uploading those old nudes.
The actress’ comments echo those she made at the time in a separate interview with Vanity Fair, where she lamented not having the choice to show her body, calling it “disgusting” and noting that her status as a public figure does not give people the right to view her private photos without consent.
In essence, if you were unaware that Jennifer Lawrence and others’ had nudes leaked in 2014, she would ask you to do them a favor, show some respect, and don’t Google it. Some corners of the Internet don’t deserve to be explored.
Harvey Weinstein Controversy
Elsewhere in another interview, Jennifer Lawrence discussed a different violation that took place in 2018 when disgraced movie mogul (and convicted rapist) Harvey Weinstein reportedly claimed to have had a sexual relationship with her that led to her Oscar win.
In a statement provided to People at the time, Jennifer Lawrence denied that it ever took place. There’s an old adage that when two people claim two different things, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. In this case, though, let’s just agree to believe the person who isn’t a convicted rapist.
When she burst onto the Hollywood scene as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence, for better or worse, had a lot of attention on her. No one thought then we’d ever end up seeing Jennifer Lawrence nude on the internet.
It’s disappointing and a grim commentary on the state of public figures in the United States that it ultimately led to a nude photo leak and a conversation about public figures’ privacy.
Still, years later now, Jennifer Lawrence has landed in a mentally positive place when it comes to those nude photos.
