'I feel blindsided, embarrassed, violated, angry, sad and a million other things,' she wrote online after the leak.

'Not solely because I did not consent to this — but also because of the vile way people have reacted,' she added.

In June, American actress Bella Thorne proactively leaked her own nudes online after a hacker threatened to do it first.

'For the last 24 hours I have been threatened with my own nudes I feel gross, I feel watched, I feel someone has taken something from me that I only wanted one special person to see,' she wrote on Twitter at the time. 

She continued: 'For too long I let a man take advantage of me over and over and I’m f***ing sick of it.

'I’m putting this out because it’s MY DECISION NOW U DONT GET TO TAKE YET ANOTHER THING FROM ME. I can sleep tonight better knowing I took my power back. U can’t control my life u never will.'
