Nude Photo Leak 2019: WWE Star Paige Supports Toni Storm After Hack
WWE star Toni Storm became a victim of a nude photo leak after her images and a video were hacked and shared across social media. Storm was forced to delete both her Twitter and Instagram accounts following the incident.
Following the incident fellow wrestlers, including Paige, showed support for Storm. Paige herself was a victim of a similar nude photo leak in 2017, called "the Fappening 2.0" and she revealed at the time, how her sex-tape leak left her suicidal.
NXT and showtime boxing commentator Mauro Ranallo added: "Toni Storm is an amazing performer and more importantly, a good person. I am sickened by what she has had to endure... The harrassment and invasion of privacy in our society needs to stop. NOW! #WeSupportToni."
Several other wrestling fans have also expressed their support for the Auckland-born, who currently lives in Liverpool.
Several A-list stars were victims of a nude photo leak which began in 2014 and returned again in 2017. Some of these photos were posted on the Celeb Jihad website. A subreddit by the name "Fappening" was created for leaked nude images first posted on the website 4chan. A-list stars such as Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Victoria Justice, Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande were victims of the 2014 hack.
In April 2017, photos of actresses Amanda Seyfried, Rose McGowan, figure skater Analeigh Tipton, model Dylan Penn, "Arrow" star Katie Cassidy and many others were stolen. In August of that year, several other celebrities, including Miley Cyrus, Kristen Stewart and Tiger Woods, became victims as the hack continued.
After the 2017 leak, Paige’s parents, Saraya and Ricky Knight, responded to the hack.
“People get hacked, unfortunately my daughter had pics and video shared from years ago. My husband and I support her 100 percent. No fault of her own,” Saraya Knight tweeted, adding: “Sat with my husband, he is sobbing, he can't even speak. I'm losing everything I love, the business we love will kill us it seems.”
Paige’s father said he was concerned about his daughter's condition after the leak.
“My last say on the scandal surrounding my daughter. I have just spoken to her over Facebook and I am worried for her mental health or worse,” he wrote Monday. “She has not killed anyone [or] robbed anyone. She was just having sex in a private situation between consulting adults and has been betrayed by some low lives. As her Dad, I urge people to back off as I say I am very worried for her. It will be no good backing her when it’s too late like many other celebrities who have left us.”
In December last year, "Captain America" actress Hayley Atwell's nude photos were allegedly hacked. However, it remains unclear if Atwell's and Storm's leak are linked to the same hackers.
