Jennifer Lawrence has finally broken her silence on massive hacking and leaking of nude celebrity photos known as “The Fappening.” The actress, who was one of the biggest stars impacted, discusses the ordeal in the latest issue of Vanity Fair. In an interview with the magazine, she calls the violation a “sex crime,” says that websites that posted the photos should be held legally accountable, and asserts that she has nothing to apologize for.

Lawrence says that when the photos of her were first published, “I was just so afraid. I didn’t know how this would affect my career.” It didn’t take long, though, for that fear to turn into anger. She tells VF reporter Sam Kashner, “Just because I’m a public figure, just because I’m an actress, does not mean I asked for this. It does not come with the territory,” she continues, “It’s my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting.”

Regarding the legal implications and media framing of the hackings, Lawrence says, “It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation.” She goes on to say, “The law needs to be changed and we need to change. That’s why these websites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody’s mind is to make a profit from it. It’s so beyond me. I just can’t imagine being that detached from humanity.”

Lawrence said that she originally intended to write a statement immediately after news of the hacking broke, but “every single thing that I tried to write made me cry or get angry.” She explains, “I started to write an apology, but I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he’s going to look at you.”

Regarding people who sought out the photos online, Lawrence says, “Anybody who looked at those photos, you’re perpetuating a sexual offense. You should cower with shame.” She adds, “Even people who I know and love say, ‘Oh, yeah, I looked at the pictures.’ I don’t want to get mad, but at the same time I’m thinking, I didn’t tell you that  you could look at my naked body.”
