NSFW photos of Jennifer Lawrence and several other celebrities surfaced on the Sunday before Labor Day.
The Hunger Games actress is normally more highly regarded for her talent and sense of humor than her sexuality. Unfortunately for J-Law, she is one of a few celebrities targeted in string of leaked naked pictures of Hollywood starlets.
According to E! Online, investigators have been able to successfully link Lawrence to the timeline of pictures based on corresponding hairstyles.

Lawrence's reps are threatening to press charges for the “stolen” pictures. However, Huffington Post reports that the Los Angeles Police department “have no knowledge of the hacking at this time.”
Other celebrities took to Twitter to refute the claims and confirm that the pictures aren’t genuine.
These so called nudes of me are FAKE people. Let me nip this in the bud right now. *pun intended*

Although Lawrence is just one of many supposed involved, she is the top trend on Twitter as of 9pm on Sunday night – which speaks to her fame and fan base.
The Telegraph reports her agent has called the nude photo leak a "flagrant violation of privacy," adding "anyone who posts the stolen photos" will be prosecuted.
