Iggy Azalea Issues Emotional Statement After Topless GQ Photoshoot Outtakes Are Leaked Online

In 2016, rapper Iggy Azalea posed for GQ Australia Magazine's "Woman Of The Year" issue. Though none of the photos revealed her breasts, she was topless for a portion of the shoot where she covered her breasts with her hands. Now, however, leaked photos showing the musician fully topless have appeared online.

In response, Azalea has wiped her social media presence and issued a powerful statement.


Azalea wrote on her Twitter before deleting her profile:

"A lot of high profile women have shot covers for GQ with a strategically placed hand etc covering their breasts etc. I always felt they were very beautiful covers, so I jumped at the opportunity."


She took the photos with the understanding she was in a safe, professional workplace:

"I never consented to taking topless pictures for potential release, period. There was no reason for anyone to have kept the outtakes from the shoot. I'm surprised and angry that they were not immediately deleted after the final images were selected."

The rapper said that the leaks were "like a nuclear bomb...[that] destroys you emotionally, but leaves a path of destruction in your personal life."

Michael Christensen, the editor of GQ Australia, told Just Jared:

"We were very disappointed to learn that outtakes from a 2016 photo shoot which were not approved or intended for publication appear to have been stolen from the photographer. We understand an investigation is underway and join the condemnation of the publication of these images."

Iggy's fans was outraged that Azalea's photos had been leaked without her consent:






Just because Azalea is a famous singer doesn't give anyone the right to see parts of her body she hasn't consented to. In a digital age of ever-shrinking privacy, this is an important lesson to remember.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
