Gabrielle Union addressed the recent celebrity nude hacking scandal during an interview with Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Joanna Coles at Fun Fearless Life Conference held in New York on Sunday. The 42-year-old actress said:
“In the moment, I froze. I was mortified, terrified. I just didn't know what to do. I felt I had given so much of myself, but I had saved a little bit for myself and for my husband, and they had taken that from me."
"I didn’t do anything wrong, no matter what people describe to me, ‘It’s your fault, you’re stupid to take nude photos, that’s what happens when you’re a celebrity’ - all this nonsense, … they’re criminals. What you do with your own body is your choice. Period. There’s no gray matter there. And when someone takes your choice away and your power away over your own body, it’s a crime. Period. A hacking scandal? We’re lessening it, making it more palatable for mass consumption, but it’s a crime."
"Over a hundred women were targeted. If these women weren’t celebrities, there would be much more outrage, but because we’re female celebrities, ‘we weren’t good victims and we enjoyed it, all PR is good PR.’ That’s what they say.”
What do you think of Gabrielle's response?
