"If I had any advice for my 16-year-old self"


Don't let ANYONE take nude photos/videos of you unless you are OK with them being made public.

No matter how much he says he "loves" you.

As i have understood it those pictures was stolen. And put online from who ever hacked her account.


You are correct.

And she was nude on Homeland

There is a misconception among many where people feel the women who had their phones hacked that have already posed nude shouldn't have a problem, but there is a difference between willingly posing for a job or film and having your privacy violated by a stranger.

I don't think she has a problem posing nude for a project but she definitely has a problem with people stealing personal nude or sexual imagery and posting it for the public without her knowledge or consent.

Just to be clear, one has nothing to do with the other.

You implied that it was okay since she was nude elsewhere, or that she shouldn't have a problem with it. I don't know how you expected anyone to infer otherwise from your statement. If you don't want people to come to the wrong conclusion, put a bit more thought into what you type and be clear.

True, but that's the point of the quote. When considering to have naked photos/video taken of yourself, there must be an assumption that they will end up public at some point.

So whether hers were stolen or not, it became a risk at the very moment they were shot. If a person, male or female, does not want naked photos/video of themselves to ever be public, then do NOT do them in the first place. It's the only foolproof safeguard.

Technology has made the risk of exposure nearly a guarantee. Therefore, one should make the assumption that regardless of the assurance that someone (e.g. sweet lover) or something (e.g. computer security program) is giving you, they can still be made public.

If someone is cool with the photos ever becoming public - for whatever reason - then by all means, go for it! :)

showing your boobies on homeland and having your personal professional full penetration pornography pictures leaked aren't really similar

It's absolutely fine for you to take whatever pictures you want. The only person in the wrong is someone stealing the photos not the people taking the photos.
