But the 24-year-old actress is hitting back at the hackers¹ who stole the provocative² shots in Vanity Fair's November issue.

 

Jennifer spoke³ about the incident for the first time by calling the photo theft 'a sex crime.'

 

'It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime,' she told the publication. 'It is a sexual violation⁴. It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change.' 

 

She has said anyone who viewed the pictures should 'cower⁵ with shame'.

 

The Hunger Games star indicated that she took nude⁶ selfies for her boyfriend at the time and although she didn't name him in the interview the special someone is believed to be actor Nicholas Hoult.

 

The couple met while co-starring in 2011's X-Men: First Class and in one interview Miss Lawrence said that they liked having a long distance relationship as it meant they could keep their independence.

 

Miss Lawrence and Hoult were at one point tipped to marry but broke up over the summer. Nobody for the actor was available for comment.

 

She is dating Coldplay singer Chris Martin, who has separated from his wife Gwyneth Paltrow. 

 

'I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years,' she told the magazine. 'It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he's going to look at you.'

 

Then the unthinkable happened: hackers broke into her iCloud and posted the photos online on August 31.

 

The FBI and Apple, which runs iCloud, are investigating the hacking⁷ in which dozens of celebrities⁸' accounts were infiltrated⁹.
