Speak for yourself, old man ;)

 

I totally agree that the leaker is a massive dickhead but like you said, if you’re working or looking to work in the public eye then you’re really taking a huge gamble by having shit like this on your iPhone.

Still, whilst this sucks for Toni on a personal level I’m sure she’ll be absolutely fine professionally speaking.

I don't know a nice way of saying this, but... don't fucking send naked pics of yourself to anyone.  It's awful when they leak, and I completely agree that it's not fair, but... just don't make yourself such a hostage to fortune, particularly if you're hoping to make a career in the public eye.

I don't get the attraction of it.  If it's someone you're already intimate with, they see you naked anyway.  And very, very few people look better naked than they do in their underwear.

I don’t get this. So just because they’re famous, they shouldn’t partake in something sexual that plenty of people find pleasurable? YOU don’t find the attraction of it, clearly lots of people do 

How about authorities/ tech companies work on encrypting their technology better rather than saying “well they shouldn’t have done it then”?

But if you're in the public eye you surely have to be aware of the risks? Especially with so many occurrences over the years.

Yeah, I get that but that’s not my point. Of course you know the risks but you could say that for a lot of things.

I think I'm a bit biased because it happened to a close friend of mine, but I'm really not down with any type of victim blaming when it comes to stuff like this.

Of course, you have to weigh up the risks when you're in the public eye, but ultimately I'm of the opinion that grown adults should be free to take and send each other photos without creepy dickheads hacking their accounts.

Whats encryption got to do with someone uploading nude pics?

Sorry? These weren’t taken from private property? Toni Storm leaked them herself?

Most of the time when stuff like this gets out it's because it's been shared on, not hacked. 

Im assuming these are the ones that Joey Axl got blackballed for sharing last year?

That's the issue.  This year's exciting new boyfriend is next year's sleazy con-artist.  I don't think it's victim blaming to suggest to young girls that agreeing to send naked pics to guys is perhaps not a great idea.  But then there's not been a photographic or video advance in history that men haven't managed to use to exploit women.

Shared on what? 

Nobody takes nude selfies for themselves. They take them and send them to their partner. Sadly when relationships break down some people are dicks are share those photos on to friends. Not saying that's what happens in every instance but it's way more likely than 'hacking' 

Theres also intentional revenge porn, because, again, some people are horrible human beings.

Oh I see, shared on to someone, I read it as shared on...say Facebook or something. Sorry.

Regardless, whoever did it is abhorrent, and blaming Toni is preposterous, and only a hair's breadth from, "well, if she hadn't been wearing that..."

She's one of the nicest people in wrestling, and seeing so many people rally around her is the silver lining in this particular cloud.
