Amanda Stanton Nude Photo Leak: 'Bachelor' Star Blackmailed By Hacker
“Bachelor” star Amanda Stanton alleged she was extorted by a hacker who obtained pre-op medical photos of her from the doctor’s office where she got her breast augmentation. In an emotional post on Instagram, the celebrity said the hacker threatened her with the nude photos.
Stanton said the hacker contacted her three weeks ago via email and said he would send the photos to her followers if she refused to pay him “a lot of money.” The 28-year-old reality star said the hacker had already sent the photos to a handful of people in her life.
“He sent them to my friend's boyfriend, he sent them to people who I work with, he sent them to producers at ABC. And it was just kind of out of my control and there was nothing I could do about it, so I figured that I might as well just address it,” she said. Stanton said some people contacted her warning her about the images they received of her.
"I just want to say, ‘thank you,’ and I'm sorry that I haven't responded to everybody,” she said, holding back tears. “It's just been hard explaining the story so many times and I just don't want to give somebody like that power over me and I hope that maybe, just by addressing it, that he'll stop."
In the video story on Instagram, the star went on to further explain the situation.
“Of course it’s something that I didn't want out there, but it's not the end of the world if people see my boobs. But I think I'm just so frustrated and I feel very violated," she said. "I've also been harassed every single day. I don't know what other information this person has. It's just been kind of exhausting."
Stanton later Tuesday night updated fans on her Instagram story that she hasn’t heard from the hacker at all since posting her first message. She also said she contacted police, but they did not give out any information about any possible investigation. She added the photos of her may come out and asked fans to be as respectful as possible.
“If you do see them, you’ll see why I got the surgery in the first place. They’re not the most flattering photos of me,” she concluded.
Stanton’s representative told Us Weekly that she has the “support of her family and loved ones, including boyfriend Bobby Jacobs,” and she “wishes to deal with this matter privately moving forward due to the vicious nature of the individual responsible for her harassment.”
