(The full story is available October 8 in the digital editions. Subscribe now for access. The magazine will be on national newsstands on October 14).
More than 100 celebs had their nude photo stolen from their iCloud accounts and published on the online bulletin board 4chan. The 24-year-old says she was "just so afraid" when news broke of the privacy violation on August 31.
She said to Vanity Fair contributing editor Sam Kashner:
"Just because I'm a public figure, just because I'm an actress, does not mean that I asked for this. It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It's my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting. I can't believe that we even live in that kind of world... It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change.
That's why these web sites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody's mind is to make a profit from it. It's so beyond me. I just can't imagine being that detached from humanity. I can't imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside… Anybody who looked at those pictures, you're perpetuating a sexual offence. You should cower with shame.
Even people who I know and love say, 'Oh, yeah, I looked at the pictures.' I don't want to get mad, but at the same time I'm thinking, I didn't tell you that you could look at my naked body."
