A distressing incident unfolded when Christina Hendricks fell victim to a phone hacking incident.
The renowned actress, known for her role in "Mad Men," was outraged to discover that her phone's security had been compromised, resulting in the unauthorized acquisition of numerous photos. Among the leaked images were snapshots of the stunning redhead without makeup and scantily dressed, causing further distress.
Confirming the breach, a representative for Hendricks informed E! News, "Christina's phone was indeed hacked, and photos were stolen. The appropriate authorities have been notified to resolve this situation. It's important to clarify that the topless image circulating is a fabrication and not an authentic picture of Christina."
Law enforcement is presently investigating the case to identify the responsible party behind the breach.
Reports have also emerged suggesting that the hackers targeted actress Olivia Munn's phone, gaining unauthorized access. Consequently, several photos were leaked, portraying the "Magic Mike" actor in various stages of undress, including shots featuring pink underwear, black bras, white bras, and a revealing low-cut v-neck. Additionally, an alleged photo of Munn has been denounced as fake by the actress and her representatives.
As of now, there has been no official response from Munn's representative regarding the incident. However, the actress herself took to Twitter to address the situation with a tweet. Displaying photos of a newborn and a cat, Munn sarcastically remarked, "If you ever hacked my phone, these are the photos you'd find."
The release of explicit photos of celebrities is not an isolated occurrence. Last year, both Mila Kunis and Scarlett Johansson suffered similar privacy invasions, resulting in the leaking of their photos. The incidents prompted an FBI investigation. Eventually, the perpetrator, Christopher Chaney, was apprehended and confessed to his actions. Expressing remorse, he acknowledged the severity of his invasion of privacy, stating, "It began as a curiosity and escalated into an addiction to peering into the lives of those we see on the silver screen every day. I fully recognize that what I did was one of the worst breaches of privacy... I apologize for my actions and must confront them to move forward."
Fans of Christina Hendricks can anticipate seeing more of her when the fifth season of "Mad Men" premieres on March 25.
