Jill Scott is the latest star whose nude photos have been leaked in the largest celebrity photo hack in history. But it’s time for those wagging tongues to be put back in their mouths because Scott isn’t actually pictured in all the photos … or so she says.
Two alleged pictures of the neo-soul singer leaked Wednesday night. One photo showed the Philadelphia singer’s face, in a robe, covering her private area and breasts. She admitted the photo did depict her body, citing the photo as a weight loss victory.
In the second photo, breasts were exposed, with the face of the woman covered with a phone. Scott denied this photo, despite the woman having the same hair, same phone, similar body type, and background.
In a tweet that was later deleted, Scott expressed her disgust with the lack of privacy.
In addition to Scott, nude photos of Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lawrence, and Kate Upton were also hacked and leaked, leading to an investigation by Apple, Inc. Apple released a statement assuring its customers iCloud and the Find My iPhone app had nothing to do with the leak.
The FBI has also launched an investigation, saying it’s “aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter.”
