Scott Mendelson essentially said that the women who had their nude pictures leaked were violated and they shouldn't have to take extra steps to keep people from hacking into their phone."Outlets as mainstream as People and CNN are referring to the photo leak as a “scandal.” All due respect, it’s not a scandal."
I agree completely because it's their PERSONAL phone, not a public cell phone. They shouldn't have to put the nude files on a flash drive that's locked in a Swiss bank. Some may argue that they shouldn't have "inappropriate" pictures of themselves, but that's a personal opinion. It'd be inappropriate to display the pictures in a grade school class room, but as i said before, it's their personal phone. What they intend to do with the pictures is up to them.
Mendelson had pointed out that the victims shouldn't have to apologize, which i agree, but i understand why they did it. Public relations is a bitch to control, especially when individuals suddenly become prudes when a sexual "scandal" pops up. Our society hypes up "Today's" hot stories and everyone becomes a critic, as if they had been fighting against the "issue" at hand since birth. The female celebrities apologized so that those whom were actually offended get the apology the believe they deserve.
In conclusion, the celebrities had been wronged, but it wasn't as big of a controversy as it should be (thanks to public opinion though...) If people want to have nude files, that's fine. If they want to make them public, put them in a correct area (ie. porn sites or something along those lines.)
