Justin Verlander breaks silence about leaked nude photos with Kate Upton

Many celebrities and their attorneys have spoken out since their nude photos were leaked Sunday evening. However, no one heard anything from the Detroit Tigers pitcher who was also featured in a nude picture with Kate Upton.

As previously reported, Justin Verlander’s girlfriend was one of the many celebrities targeted by hackers after their private photos were leaked online. The pitcher’s privacy was also violated as he appeared in a nude pic in a mirror with Upton.

USA Today noted that before a game against the Cleveland Indians Verlander addressed the issue.

"I'm not going to comment on my personal life," the 31-year-old said. "I never have, and I never plan on it. I keep my personal life personal. The focus for me is on the Detroit Tigers. I don't want to take any focus away from this team and what we're trying to accomplish. We're in the middle of a pennant race. We're trying to win a pennant. And all of my focus currently is on doing whatever I can to help our team win our division."

Verlander would then only answer baseball-related questions.

Upton’s attorney acknowledged the authenticity of the photos and said that they will prosecute whoever is responsible for leaking them.

Other celebrities targeted in the nude picture scandal include Jennifer Lawrence and Kirsten Dunst.
