Jennifer Lawrence is speaking out on the massive nude photo leak that included herself and a ton of A-list actresses -- saying she was "sexually exploited and violated."
The "Hunger Games" star opens up about the flagrant violation of her privacy in the new issue of Vanity Fair.

"Just because I'm a public figure, just because I'm an actress, does not mean that I asked for this. It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It's my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting," she tells the mag. "I can't believe that we even live in that kind of world."
She reveals the photos were for her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Hoult, though she doesn't mention him by name.
"I started to write an apology, but I don't have anything to say I'm sorry for. 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," she continues.
"It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime,” she adds. "It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody's mind is to make a profit from it. It's so beyond me. I just can't imagine being that detached from humanity. I can't imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside. Anybody who looked at those pictures, you're perpetuating a sexual offense. You should cower with shame."
Other celebrity victims include Kim Kardashian, Kate Upton, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Hope Solo, Kirsten Dunst and many others.
The full interview with Vanity Fair will be available on digital editions tomorrow and hit newsstands October 14.
