Lawrence probably has a right to be angry because now for all the world to see we see her on the casting couch and most cynics are now yelling "now we know how she got her Oscar." Basically her career is over after Hunger Games. No big loss because frankly she cannot act to save her life anyway.
Which brings me to something I've been noticing over the last decade. While pop stars are looking one in the same with porn stars in terms of extreme over sexualization, the movies are getting darker and sexless. You can't be a ladies' man in movies anymore and nudity is really disappearing. (Bond is practically gay now and everyone is so oversensitive to "objectifying" women that sexual content has greatly diminished.) While many blame 9/11 and everything being oh so dark, (the Christopher Nolanization of all action movies rendering them all joyless,) but I blame the celebrity sex tape. Why? Because nobody does nude scenes after they've had nude photos or sex tapes leaked. We don't get it professionally lit with studio quality cameras, just awkward "selfies" and tapes that show next to nothing.
I have no sympathy for the Kate Uptons and Jennifer Lawrences of the world. Upton in particular got famous for "risque" selfies in the first place and nothing that got leaked looked much different, save for baseball boyfriend of the week's man ass in the shots. If you have a fetish for getting naked and filming it, it WILL get out there and more often than not I think these folks want that. (Pamela Anderson being the worst offender and probably the one big example of a sex tape ruining a career.) I am only angry because countless quality nude payoffs in film and Playboy were lost in the blink of an eye. Who cries for ME????

you may have a point regarding hypocracy; your assessment of Ms Lawrence's talent is your personal opinion but the trajectory of her career indicates that not many people agree with you, but the fact is her personal, private property was robbed. That is not the same as piracy. And it's one thing perhaps to call out hypocracy but another to call people stupid because they were merely human. Some of the comments in this thread like a lot of the comments floating around on the web when the women tried to defend themselves are shockingly creepy. You may not like the limits Ms Upton put on the presentation of her body, you may find it hypocritical but she is within here rights and there are those out there (and I don't imply that you are one) who are being cruel and crude about it. Those people demonstrate their own character and reveal much more about themselves and it's creepy. Where is the joke in being robbed? What entitles a person to make obscene comments about another just because she was the victim of a crime?
It's one thing to celebrate the talents of models and actors at the top of their game which is what this entire forum is about; it's quiet another to gloat over the victims of a crime.
