whoppi was very unsympathetic and quick to blame Bella. she even seemed put out that her co hosts were sympathetic and continued to talk over them. hacking is wrong and a crime, period. extortion is wrong and a crime, period. nothing is wrong with being "surprised' when a crime is committed and your privacy is violated. no, it's not her fault and yes blaming anyone but the loser who blackmailed her is victim blaming.

i don't think whoopi is totally wrong though, i think she meant it more like that she should be careful because it often gets leaked

she didn't say it in that tone, she was very accusative and went into it with a victim-blaming mentality.

Yeah it honestly reminds me of the fucked up “if someone sexually harasses u when u wear revealing clothes the blame is on u for dressing like that” mentality

okay i get that but i think she just got angry because by now we should know that famous peoples nudes gets leaked and she should be more careful, but yeah i don't like the tone of her voice

when are we going to have this energy for the people who LEAK the nudes

Obviously, no one likes people who do so-called "black hat hacking" and leak private photos, conversations, so on...
But hacking into a phone is not hard for someone who knows what they're doing, and there is a lot of people today that can easily hack other people's phones. It's not hard for people to learn how to hack either. Therefore I think it's important that people realise that there is a risk when you take a nude. There is a risk when you send a nude. If you don't like that risk, you just have to not take that nude.
And you are especially in danger of getting your nudes leaked if you're a celebrity, which was kind of what Whoopi was refering to.

It is obviously not Bella's fault, but it is not wrong to say that it would never have happened if she had never taken the nudes in the first place.
We live in a world where digital media play a huge role and we just have to be aware that that means that not everything we put on our digital devices will stay 100% private. It's sad, but that's how the world is right now.

People are already doing what they can by making "black hat hacking" illegal. There's really not that much more you can do.

there's a risk when you do your banking online. there's a risk when you shop online. there's a risk that someone will break into your house. there's a risk someone will break into your car. there's a risk you'll get murdered. maybe you shouldn't have a house. maybe you shouldn't have a car. maybe every celebrity should post their camera rolls and texts messages right now, they're just asking for them to get leaked anyway by taking them, by texting people.... there's always a risk, that doesn't make the victim any less of a victim, that doesn't mean they don't have a right to be angry or upset, that doesn't mean they don't deserve sympathy. it does mean that anyone that tells them "x would never have happened if they had or hadn't z" is victim blaming.
