Wendy Williams has plenty to say about Jennifer Lawrence's nude photos, part of a massive leak of private, sexually explicit pics of celebrities that were stolen from their online accounts. And, oh yeah, she's also seen them.
The Hunger Games actress and Oscar winner had recently broken her silence over the scandal, telling Vanity Fair that she thinks that anyone who has looked at the images, which were meant for her then-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult's eyes only, was "perpetuating a sexual offense" and "should cower with shame."
"At the same time, I'm thinking, I didn't tell you that you could look at my naked body," Lawrence added. "It's my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting."
Williams, 50, talked about the issue on The Wendy Williams Show earlier this week.
"Um, it's not your choice, it's in the Cloud and I've looked several times. So I guess I'm disgusting for looking?" the talk show host said.
"Clap if you've looked at Jennifer Lawrence's hacking pictures," she asked her audience, drawing a smattering of applause. "Clap if you're lying because you really did look."
"Jennifer Lawrence, you wanna know what? Don't sweat this, young lady," Williams said. "I mean, you're the one who took the pictures."
Lawrence has not responded to Williams' remarks.
The photos were posted severeal weeks ago on websites such as 4Chan, Reddit and Twitter. Most links have been removed, while a lawyer representing 12 female stars has threatened to sue Google for $100 million over the search engine giant's handling of their indexing.
Hoult, who is no longer dating Lawrence, also recently commented about the posting of her private photos, calling it "shocking."
"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," Lawrence had told Vanity Fair.
"Well, how about—well no, 24, she's still young. Men would look at both," Williams said.
Williams said that she thinks that if Lawrence "would just stop talking about the Cloud and the naked pictures," the matter would "go away!"
She also complimented Lawrence.
"Besides, Jen, you don't look bad under your clothes and I think the 'hackilation' has actually made your career even hotter." she said. "‘Cause she was red hot before but now it's like heat-seeking missile hot. So hold your head up with pride!"
Williams had herself appeared in a nude photo, which was authorized. She stripped down for a PETA "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign ad in 2012.
