All EYES on Iggy Azalea! The “Sally Walker” rapper deactivated her social media accounts after topless photos of her surfaced which she said left her feeling “violated.”
The Australian born rapper Iggy Azalea was shooting a photo session for GQ magazine and apparently took a few photos topless for her surgeon. Iggy had recently had breast implants and wanted to show the doctor, but someone on the shoot got a hold of the photos and leaked them. Read on…
CelebNMusic247.com reports that Iggy wrote a now since-deleted note on social media to fans that the photos were from a 2016 GQ magazine shoot.
Amethyst Amelia Kelly, better known as Iggy Azalea wrote:
There was no reason for anyone to have kept the outtakes from the shoot. I’m surprised and angry that they were not immediately deleted after the final images were selected.
A 2016 story on GQ’s Australia site titled “Iggy Azalea Gifts Plastic Surgeon Signed Topless Photo” features a photo of the Australian rapper with her hands strategically placed on her breasts.
The 28-year-old wrote a note that reads:
A lot of high profile women have shot covers for GQ with a strategically placed hand, etc, covering their breasts.
She continued:
I always felt they were very beautiful covers, so I jumped at the opportunity. I hadn’t seen other women’s covers leak so I felt comfortable (on a closed set) to model for such a reputable magazine knowing only the images with my hands covering [my breasts] would be considered for print.
Feeling like “a ball of negative emotions” Azalea concluded by saying:
I feel blindsided, embarrassed, violated, angry, sad and a million other things. Not solely because I did not consent to this — but also because of the vile way people have reacted.
But NOTE, the “Sally Walker” star vowed legal action against whoever leaked the images.
Iggy’s photographer, Nino Munoz, also weighed in on Instagram Monday about the controversy.
Munoz said an investigation into the leak is ongoing:
My heart goes out to anyone this situation has affected. I’m utterly outraged and will not rest until justice is served.
We get that he is upset, but he is also the only one that had the photos? Could this be a PR stunt to get buzz around Iggy before she drops another album? And let’s be real, she looks amazing, and so what, their breast, big deal F it. If we were in France everyone would be like oh, ok and move on.
At least it wasn’t like it was some raunchy sex tape or something, these photos are beautiful and she should take pride, and be empowered. That would just throw everyone off and leave her alone. Complaining causes buzz!
