I'm just glad the media has finally stopped their breathless reports on her friendship with Amy Schumer. I was getting really tired of hearing about the script they wrote that was so hilarious and so not getting made into a movie by anyone. Does anyone know if Amy went to her wedding? Yeah she did. She made and then deleted a joke Instagram post about it.

Also, I just have to add that I don’t think sending PRIVATE, sexy photos to your significant other is “stupid.” I also don’t think that taking nude photos for your SO makes you an exhibitionist. Let’s not forget that Jennifer and Nicholas were actually the victims of a hacker. The person who committed criminal acts is the one who should be shamed and punished, not Jennifer or any of the other victims. And Babycakes, I’m not trying to target you with those comments, it’s just a pet peeve of mine. I do realize that people might say that it’s careless to send something like that when you could easily be hacked. That may be true. But I’m pretty sure that we all text things, whether it’s through words or photos, that we wouldn’t want others to see or want to be made public. I guess it’s just a bigger risk when you’re a celeb or public official. I hear you. I hesitated at first on using the word stupid to explain her actions. Woman, men, people in general should have agency over their own bodies, and the decisions that they make for them. I am not a slut-shamer, however, I have to admit to a personal shortcoming in my own way of thinking about this issue. Maybe it's years of Puritanical conditioning from a strict upbringing. Maybe it's the patriarchy still warping my mind, but this is the one thing I can't ever not judge. I feel horrible every single time it happens to someone. I am disgusted anytime private details of people's love life is disclosed. I think it's disgusting and should be criminalized, particularly when (usually men) use these items as revenge and upload the pictures on the internet, or send them to family, friends, or to people's work place. It's a horrific breach of trust, and a violation akin to rape. Full stop--if a person is walking down the street stark naked, no one has the right to touch them. No matter how they were dressed, or how much someone had to drink, another person has no business touching them or doing anything without their consent. Period. But the issue with nudes is where I still struggle. I never would tell someone that it's their fault for taking them. Or blame them if they leaked. You're never at fault for what another chooses to do to you. I just still have the gnawing thought in the back of my mind that if they didn't exist, there wouldn't be a chance that they could fall into the wrong hands. I know it may sound like semantics, but I guess I can't get past that in today's world where everyone has a phone, and how fluid technology is, why people would have such damaging material out there. I don't know if it's something that I'll ever get past. There are a lot of garbage people out there. Some you know, some you don't know. You just never know when a relationship could end poorly, or if you're a public figure, if people would be targeting you to get something on you. I still think that it's something you just don't do. It's unfair that the onus should be on people to protect themselves from garbage people, but I think this is just one small tactic that one can use to protect themselves from harm, and it doesn't seem like a hardship to me. And I know it still sounds like victim blaming, but again--personal shortcoming.

I know what you’re saying and often think about it this way - if I leave my purse in my car in plain view or leave my house unlocked even though I know there have been a rash of break- ins in my area, then, yeah, I’m kind of stupid. In no way do I think it means I deserve to get robbed and know that it sounds like I am victim blaming but if you know there are shitty people in the world and there are ways to protect your spaces and to minimize crime, then you do what you can to protect yourself.

I agree. This is the world we live in. If you take nudes to send to your SO, you're taking the risk they can be stolen/leaked. No, it's not your fault if they are, and it sure as heck doesn't make someone a "whatever word/phrase you want to use" if they pose for those photos, but these are the risks. Knowing it's not your fault won't change how you feel when it's a bunch of randos leering at your pics. It sucks.
We should be able to act without worrying our privacy or personal safety will be at risk. We should be able to party, we should be able to meet guys in private, we should be able to get drunk, we should be able to walk home late at night. We really should. But we're be the ones paying the price when it goes wrong.

Did I miss something? Jennifer Lawrence is believed to have had sex with Harvey Weinstein? Because she denied it in a December 2018 statement after a suit against him came out, including the news that he claimed to have sex with JLaw in order to get someone else into bed. Which IIRC, is the same thing he did with Gwyneth Paltrow, using her name to bully other young actresses into having sex with him. She went to the December 2018 court hearing of that woman who sued Weinstein.

She may never have slept with him, but I find it hard to imagine that she would have the type of relationship she did and escaped unscathed.
