NAKED photos of Emily Ratajkowski were leaked online in 2014 when her phone was hacked, and the images published without her consent. Now, she has been targeted again.

So why does this gross invasion of privacy continue to happen?

Ratajkowski, along with up to 30 Hollywood stars including Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Kirsten Dunst and Ariana Grande had their iCloud accounts broken into and their private, and often intimate, photos posted on 4Chan, Reddit, Twitter, and Tumblr, about three years ago.

Now, it seems Ratajkowski, 25, has again been targeted, this time by an unnamed hacker, with nude images of the Blurred Lines video star reportedly being offered by an anonymous seller to a British newspaper columnist.

Edward Majerczyk, 29, hacked into their emails and iCould online storage accounts, stealing their private photos and videos in 2014.

Last month, Majerczyk was finally sentenced for the crimes, and ordered to serve nine months in a US federal prison.

Today, Daily Star columnist Helen Woods revealed she was sent more than 200 private images of Ratajkowski, offered to her for publication by an unnamed seller (she obviously declined to publish them), The Sun reports.

“Last week ... I received a DM on Twitter,” Woods tweeted.

“No idea who this guy was, but had a peek all the same out of curiosity. Turns out, it was a link to Emily Ratajkowski’s iCloud pictures.”

Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence spoke out about being a victim of online hackers, saying she was “just so afraid” when private images of her were made public.

“I didn’t know how this would affect my career,” Lawrence told Vanity Fairin 2014.

Lawrence tried to address it at the time by writing a statement but couldn’t find the words. “Every single thing that I tried to write made me cry or get angry. I started to write an apology, but I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for,” she told Vanity Fair.

Lawrence went on to justify why she took the photos in the first place — a justification that she should never had needed to make because the images should have been private, as she had intended.

“I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he’s going to look at you,” Lawrence said, according to vanityfair.com.

“I can’t even describe to anybody what it feels like to have my naked body shoot across the world like a news flash against my will,” Lawrence said.

“It just makes me feel like a piece of meat that’s being passed around for a profit.

“Just because I’m a public figure, just because I’m an actor, does not mean that I asked for this.

“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.

“People forget that we’re human.”

Ratajkowski has so far not commented on today’s report that she has been hacked yet again.

In 2015, addressing her earlier ordeal, she told GQ: “A lot of people who were victims of that said anyone who looks at these pictures should feel guilty, but I just don’t think that’s fair”.

“I think once it’s out there, it’s out there, and I’m not sure that anyone who Googles it is necessarily a criminal,” Ratajkowski told the magazine, according to The Sun.

“I think the people that stole the photos are.”

Like the Kardashians, Ratajkowski has a “my body, my choice” policy when it comes to the photos she posts on social media, especially when they involved nudity.

“Women in the last five to ten years are able to say, ‘I want to feel this way — it’s not for someone else,’” she told Oyster in December.

What is made public should always be her choice, and her choice only.
