Diletta Leotta, who is a TV presenter and reporter at Sky Sports has waged a war against hackers who uploaded nude pictures of her online, which they obtained from her iCloud.
Leotta later claimed that only few of the pictures and videos that were posted online were real.
The sizzling blonde, who has millions of followers on social media, accentuated that most of the pictures were fake, stating: “Although many still do not believe it.”
She was left frustrated and heartbroken when she found out that her smartphone was hacked and several of her private photos were uploaded on the public domain.
Leotta said: “My phone would not stop ringing with calls, messages, WhatsApp.
“I didn’t cry at first. I found strength I didn’t even know I had. But after three days, yes, I succumbed.”
“Those photos maybe I sent to someone, perhaps a couple of them. I hadn’t seen the pictures for years.”
“I thought I had deleted them. I wouldn’t even describe them as sexy.”
“I became aware that they were part of my private archive. Someone must have intentionally hacked into my iCloud account.”
However, she remained strong and insisted that she has no regrets over the whole hacking incident. She went on to advice other victims of cybercrime to follow her example.
She added: “I want to say to the girls or the boys who have experienced the same thing, that you should not feel guilty.”
“Everyone has the right to do what they want with their life, their privacy and their mobiles.”
Later, she insisted that many “less intelligent and sensitive people” had accused her of leaking the photos online.
Leotta insisted: “It seems clear that the road I want to take is very different.”
After the hacking incident, Nice star Mario Balotelli came out in defence of Leotta, and said: “Everyone is free to do what they want with their body, for better or worse.
“People who abused this situation are a**holes.”
