Hackers obtaining celebrities' nude photos has become a disturbingly common thing.
Bella Thorne decided to take matters into her own hands when someone hacked her Twitter account and threatened to leak nude photos of her, however.
<p>She decided to release the photos on social media herself so the hacker who was attempting to blackmail her wouldn't have any material to work with. </p><blockquote><em>"For the last 24 hours I have been threatened with my own nudes."</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>"I feel gross. I feel watched, I feel someone has taken something from me that I only wanted one special person to see."</em></blockquote><p>In addition to finding her photos, the Hacker also apparently posted a string of tweets that did not sound like Thorne at all. Her account's profile picture was also changed to the image of a man. </p><p>These posts and changes have since been removed from her Twitter account. </p><p><div id="c7da91bc-8e44-492f-b7fd-c382c0e55bda"></div></p><p>Thorne said that the Hacker has also sent her nude photos of other celebrities, while threatening to leak the photos of her. </p><p>She told <em>The Hollywood Reporter </em>that the person attempting to blackmail her seems like a juvenile and, while she is hurt and angry, she didn't want this one extremely poor choice to ruin his life. </p><blockquote><em>"This kid sounds like he's 17, as much as I'm so angry and wanted to f**k him up over doing this to people I just wanted to teach him a lesson."</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>"He's still a kid and we make mistakes, this mistake is a bad one. But I don't want some 17-year-old's whole life ruined because he wasn't thinking straight and [was] being a dumb*ss."</em></blockquote><p>She continued:</p><blockquote><em>"Plus, he's obviously smart so if he got on the right side of the tracks he could actually possibly help our community and be an alliance."</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>"You can't always tear someone down for their bad sides but more so build up their good sides."</em></blockquote><p>In a note accompanying the photos, Thorne had a message for the hacker. </p><blockquote><em>"I can sleep tonight better knowing I took my power back. U can't control my life u never will." </em></blockquote><p><strong>Many on social media were supportive of Thorne. </strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

<p><br></p><p>Some criticized Thorne for her choice to post the photos, saying that she was just doing what the Hacker would have done himself. </p><p>Most, however, understood that it was about taking back power from the person trying to blackmail her. </p><p>When she released the photos herself, she took away all of the material he could use to blackmail her. </p>
