As Iggy Azalea explained, she was upset not just by the fact that the revealing photos of her were made public, but also by the “vile way” some people reacted to them.

Australian rapper Iggy Azalea has deactivated her social media accounts after pictures of her topless were leaked online.

Having briefly reappeared on Twitter before deactivating her account again, Azalea explained that the photos were actually part of her 2016 GQ photoshoot and were never meant for publishing.

"I never consented to taking topless pictures for potential release, period", she stressed. "It was my understanding BEFORE shooting, GQ do not print topless pictures".

​Azalea also explained that she feels "blindsided, embarrassed, violated, angry, sad, and a million other things" not just because the photos were released without her consent, "but also because of the vile way people have reacted".

"A lot of comments I see from men in particular taking things even further and sharing their thoughts and fantasies in regards to my body has honestly disturbed me", she complained.

Azalea also warned that she now intends to find out "where the leak originated from" and press criminal charges "in regards to this".

Many social media users seemed to sympathise with her plight.

​Some, however, questioned Iggy’s judgement instead.

​The photographer who took the aforementioned photos, Nino Munoz, also wrote on Instagram that he is “outraged and saddened” by the leak, and that “posting these stolen images is illegal”.
