Stewart and her supermodel girlfriend declare legal war against any websites publishing their intimate pictures following a new celebrity nude photo hack.

AceShowbiz - Kristen Stewart reacts after her nude photos were hacked. The 27-year-old actress threatens legal action against any websites, who dare to publish the explicit pictures. Her lawyer has sent a takedown notice to the outlets, citing a violation of copyright laws. She demands the pics be removed immediately or she would drag them to court.
A series of Stewart's nude images were leaked on Monday by Celeb Jihad, a gossip site allegedly run by Islamic extremists. Her supermodel girlfriend Stella Maxwell was reportedly also seen in some of the photos. Rumor has it, the runway beauty has contacted her lawyers to deal with the situation as well.
Stewart and Maxwell were not the only victims of the recent celebrity photo hack. The hacker(s) also obtained racy images of Miley Cyrus, Katharine McPhee, as well as Tiger Woods & then-girlfriend Lindsay Vonn. The ones featuring the male golfer and the female skier were taken from the latter's cell phone.
A rep for Vonn said, "It is an outrageous and despicable invasion of privacy for anyone to steal and illegally publish private intimate photos. Lindsey will take all necessary and appropriate legal action to protect and enforce her rights and interests. She believes the individuals responsible for hacking her private photos as well as the websites that encourage this detestable conduct should be prosecuted to the fullest extent under the law."
Over the past few months, the likes of Sarah Hyland, Amanda Seyfried, Demi Lovato, Kate Hudson, Lucy Hale and Rosario Dawson were targeted by hackers as well. "Modern Family" star Hyland threatened legal action after her nude photos leaked last month. Seyfried and Hale also demanded their leaked pics be removed.
Back in 2014, Hollywood was rocked with a massive celebrity nude photo hack. Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton were among the victims. Ryan Collins, a Pennsylvania man, was found responsible for the crime and sentenced to 18 months in federal prison. JLaw was still traumatized by the incident.
"It's scary when you feel the whole world judges you," she recently told Vogue. "I think people saw [the hacking] for what it was, which was a sex crime, but that feeling, I haven't been able to get rid of it. Having your privacy violated constantly isn't a problem if you're perfect. But if you're human, it's terrifying. When my publicist calls me, I'm like, 'Oh, my God, what is it?' Even when it's nothing. I'm always waiting to get blindsided again."
