Emily Ratajkowski tells GQ why she doesn't care if people see naked pics of her

Los Angeles - Emily Ratajkowski doesn't think people who look at her hacked nude photographs are criminals.

The 24-year-old actress was one of the many celebrity victims who had their iCloud accounts hacked and naked pictures released on the internet and although she is furious at the people who released the images, she has no anger towards those who viewed them online.

She told the September issue of British GQ magazine: "A lot of people who were victims of that said anyone who looks at these pictures should feel guilty, but I just don't think that's fair.

"I think once it's out there, it's out there, and I'm not sure that anyone who Googles it is necessarily a criminal. I think the people that stole the photos are."

Jennifer Lawrence was one of the most high-profile stars to be hacked and she hit out at the time.

She said: "It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. That's why these Web sites are responsible.

"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."

Meanwhile, Emily - who shot to fame when she appeared naked in the Blurred Lines music video - thinks her days of stripping down on screen are over.

She said: "I think I've done enough nudity now that I don't really need to do Blurred Lines again. Like, if someone asked me to do it now, I'd probably say no.

"I didn't feel objectified when I was making it. I felt like I was having a lot of fun as a sexual person."
