You Twitter?
Everyone (in this day and age, it's always everyone)has take a photograph or two, that they keep for themselves or other players to be named later.
These are usually photos that must NEVER make their way on to the internet.
Unfortunatly some people have scanned a website and have come face to (insert body part here) with themselves on a networking site or photo carrier.
When you are a high profile celebrity, it's hard to stop those photos from spreading like wildfire.
Recently RnB singer, Cassie, addressed the issue of her stolen nude photos, but not before her fellow music artists could address it first.
Former Danity Kane memeber, D-Woods:"Cassie gonna sell some albums this round. Y'all see this nude internet photo?" (via Twitter)
Diddy:"Turn this one up real loud and dance on dem bitches!!!!" (he then linked the post to Elton John's "I'm Still Standing") (via Twitter)
Fabolous:"But Memorial Day weekend comin. I'mma be in Miami by the pool all day and the top gotta come off ... right Cassie?" (via Twitter)
Ray J:"I've seen some small titties 2nite!!! On the internet hahahaha, they looked good tho." (via Twitter)
Perez Hilton:"She sure likes her piercings — all over!" (to MTV)
must be wonderful to have friends like these...
Cassie later addressed the issue through her blog and (wow) Twitter, telling fans that it was her in the pictures:
"The recent personal pictures that have been leaked on the Internet of me were hacked and stolen out of my computer," she wrote on her blog. "These photos were obviously never intended for the world to see, and it's sad that people would really take time to steal and post them, it's just evil. At the end of the day, breasts are breasts, mine weren't the first you've seen and they won't be the last. ... People need to grow up, let's move on. Thank you."
Classy classy lady. I completely respect her comments. Hopefully we can all learn from this, and lock up our computers to ensure that we never have to see ourselves from a different angle ever again.
It's just an old flavor of wine in a new bottle, or however that saying goes. Celebritie's nude photos or whatever else have always ended up on someone else's hands who wants to profit from them. How many nude photos of people before they were starts have been published by Playboy? Remember the Paris Hilton sex videos? Same kinda deal
ReplyDeleteDid you compile all those tweets/statements? awesomely examined trend; I don't know who Cassie is, but her comments are tactful and funny.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how shoddy her computer protections must be to be so easily compromised. If I were a celebrity I'd keep my nekkid pictures in a non-Internet-ready, non-assistant-accessible computer. Unless I was looking for a PR stunt. ;)
