Iggy Azalea has been a trending topic on social media these past few days due to an incredibly invasive and illegal disruption of her privacy.
On Monday, it was reported topless photos of the rapper had been leaked over the weekend by an unnamed source.
Unsurprisingly, this invasion of privacy years after the photos were taken totally surprised the artist, prompting her to delete all social media accounts.
"I'm outraged and saddened to find out that images of mine were stolen and published without my permission" he wrote.
Iggy commented on how the leaked photos have affected her mental health.
Needless to say, our hearts are breaking for her during this incredibly difficult time.
"I always felt they were very beautiful covers, so I jumped at the opportunity."
"I feel blindsided, embarassed, violated, angry, sad and a million other things. Not soley because I did not consent to this - but also because of the vile way people have reacted."
"It was my understanding BEFORE shooting, GQ do not print topless pictures."
"If you've ever been humiliated before in front of family & those you care about maybe you can relate to what I'm going through."
She concludes with a message of peace, "please be kinder to one another."
No one should ever have to experience something so traumatic and devastating —especially while being in the public eye, which makes it all the more unfair.
Stay strong, girl. We love you!
