J-Law has never been one to mince her words, and now that she’s promoting her new film, Mother!, you can expect to see plenty of her.
Not that many haven’t already seen plenty of her, thanks to some sick, sad bloke who hacked her phones and shared her nudes with the world.
That’s the 2014 Apple iCloud security breach we’re talking about, although you might know it as ‘Fapgate’. In a new ‘Awards Chatter’ podcast, Jennifer opened up about how tough that was to deal with.

“When the hacking thing happened, it was so unbelievably violating that you can’t even put it into words,” she says. “I think that I’m still actually processing it. When I first found out it was happening, my security reached out to me. It was happening minute-to-minute — it was almost like a ransom situation where they were releasing new ones every hour or so. And, I don’t know, I feel like I got gang-banged by the fucking planet — like, there’s not one person in the world that is not capable of seeing these intimate photos of me. You can just be at a barbecue and somebody can just pull them up on their phone. That was a really impossible thing to process.”
Making matters worse, there was virtually no recourse for her or the other victims. “A lot of women were affected, and a lot of them reached out to me about suing Apple or suing [others] — and none of that was gonna really bring me peace, none of that was gonna bring my nude body back to me and Nic [Lawrence’s former boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, below], the person that they were intended for. It wasn’t gonna bring any of that back. So I wasn’t interested in suing everybody; I was just interested in healing.”
She adds, “I think, like, a year and a half ago, somebody said something to me about how I was ‘a good role model for girls,’ and I had to go into the bathroom and sob because I felt like an imposter — I felt like, ‘I can’t believe somebody still feels that way after what happened.’ It’s so many different things to process when you’ve been violated like that.”
Just because some cretin hacked your phone doesn’t make you a bad person, right?
While we’re here, you know that mate who thinks it’s kak funny to share a nude someone sent to him on the boys’ WhatsApp group? It’s not, and he’s a piece of shit for doing that.
Call him out.
