A rep for Kim Kardashian, who recently posed nude for British GQ, declined to comment to BuzzFeed News.

In the selfies, Kardashian is posing sans clothing in a bathroom and holding a Blackberry. She isn’t wearing a wedding ring.
Actresses like Vanessa Hudgens and Aubrey Plaza, designer Mary-Kate Olsen, and soccer star Hope Solo also appeared to be hacked, with new personal photos and videos being passed around the web on Saturday.

Hayden Panettiere and Leelee Sobieski also appeared to have both clothed and nude photos hacked from their personal accounts, and a handful of unseen photos of Jennifer Lawrence started to circulate.

The new pictures come a few weeks after celebrities like Lawrence and Kate Upton had multiple private pictures released online, with a screenshot of rows of thumbnails purporting to show that more picture and video releases were imminent.



But many of those photos never saw the light of day, with the alleged hackers refusing to release them without receiving large sums.

Much of the hubbub quieted down when Reddit shut down the main thread for the leaks, dubbed The Fappening, after multiple celebrity lawyers threatened lawsuits.

Yet a handful of threads still quietly thrived on Reddit, claiming to be centered around “discussion” while a few thousand contributors obsessed on how and when the rest of the pictures might be released, sharing new links when they surfaced.
