Nicholas Hoult, the ex-boyfriend of Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, has spoken up on the nude photo scandal that has taken place when hacked images of the actress reportedly got released.

Could McKayla Maroney Face Criminal Charges Amid Alleged Nude Photo Scandal?

Hoult was promoting his latest film Young Ones with Good Day New York where the situation involving his ex was brought up. On Friday, ABC News posted the actor's comments who said that it's unfortunate how this can happen to someone.

"It's shocking that things like that happen in the world," he answered.

He then added, "It's a shame."

Lawrence is not the only female celebrity to become an alleged victim on this incident. Other stars like Rihanna, Nina Dobrev and Kelly Brook have reportedly had leaked images released even though there is still a theory if the photos are even real or not.

Lawrence broke her silence on what happened in an interview with Vanity Fair.

"Just because I'm a public figure, just because I'm an actress, does not mean that I asked for this," she said. "It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It's my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting. I can't believe that we even live in that kind of world."

The actress then explained that she doesn't see this as a scandal, but as a sex crime.

"It's a sexual violation. It's disgusting," she shared. "The law needs to be changed, and we need to change."
