Report via Billboard - Iggy Azalea is threatening legal action against whoever leaked nude photos of the Aussie hip-hop star and turned her mood into a “ball of negative emotions.”
Azalea deactivated her Intagram and Twitter accounts after topless photos of her appeared online over the weekend without her permission. The snaps were outtakes from a GQ cover shoot from 2016 and were never intended to see the light of day, Azalea explained in a since-deleted statement.
“There was no reason for anyone to have kept the outtakes from the shoot,” wrote Azalea (born Amethyst Kelly). “I’m surprised and angry that they were not immediately deleted after the final images were selected.”
“Today I’m a ball of negative emotions. I feel blindsided, embarrassed, violated, angry, sad, and a million other things. Not solely because I did not consent to this – but also because of the vile way people have reacted.”
She continued, “I fully intended on finding out where the leak originated from and pressing criminal charges in regards to this. It’s important to me that someone actually be held accountable for their actions & the way it impacts my life. It’s important to me that someone actually be held accountable for their actions & the way it impacts my life.”
While GQ has yet to comment on the leak, Nino Munoz, the Chilean-Canadian photographer who handled the assignment, insists the images were stolen and the hunt is now on to find the culprit. “My heart goes out to anyone this situation has affected. I’m utterly outraged and will not rest until justice is served,” he wrote in a post on Instagram. An investigation is currently underway, he added.
