Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence has had her share of embarrassing moments over the years, the most infamous of which were the nude photos that were leaked online by hackers. Until now, the actress admitted that she is still struggling with that incident.

Lawrence was just one of 100 high-profile names who were on the receiving end of the 4chan scandal back in 2014. The actress addressed that incident and said that it was an incredibly violating ordeal. She went to say that during the time it happened, it nearly felt like a "ransom situation" because everything was developing so fast.

She shared her thoughts on the Awards Chatter Podcast for Hollywood Reporter. "When the hacking thing happened, it was so unbelievably violating that you can't even put it into words," said the actress.

"I think that I'm still actually processing it. When I first found out it was happening, my security reached out to me. It was happening minute-to-minute. It was almost like a ransom situation where they were releasing new ones every hour or so," added Lawrence.

Lawrence went on to say that it was difficult to come to terms with the fact that someone, anyone, can simply pull out nude photos at any time they wanted to. She described that she felt "gang-banged" by everyone, and that there was no one not capable of seeing those kinds of photos. She explained that so many women were affected, and that many have contacted her about suing Apple or anyone whom they thought were responsible.

However, the actress went on to explain her reason for not doing so. Lawrence said that taking legal action was not going to bring her peace, and that none of it was going to bring her nude body back to her and her former boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, the person who the photos were meant for.

It also made her feel like a bad example for women everywhere. She recalled a moment last year that someone said something to her about how she was a good role model for girls. The complement made her go to the bathroom and cry because she felt like "an imposter." Lawrence could not believe that someone still felt that way about her after what happened, and that there were so many different things to process after that kind of incident.

Fortunately, the local authorities caught one of the hackers associated with the attack and they were sentenced to 18 months in federal prison. After the actress was hacked, she labeled it a "sex crime" instead of a scandal.
