Google could be facing a huge $100 million lawsuit over failing to remove links to nude celebrity photos leaked through iCloud.
Lawyer Marty Singer is representing over a dozen celebrities, according to Hollywood Reporter, and has sent a scathing letter to Google over failing to remove the sensitive content from platforms like YouTube and Blogger.
Singer says that he wrote to Google four weeks ago asking for the images to be removed but many are still accessible.
Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Rihanna, and Ariana Grande were among those targeted by the hackers. Singer’s letter did not reveal exactly which celebrities he represents, but it does claim that he is working for “over a dozen female celebrities, actresses, models and actresses.”
He has demanded that Google pay for their “blatantly unethical behavior.”
“Google’s despicable, reprehensible conduct in not only failing to act expeditiously and responsibly to remove the Images, but in knowingly accommodating, facilitating and perpetuating the unlawful conduct.”
“Google knows the images are hacked stolen property, private and confidential photos and videos unlawfully obtained,” writes Singer, “and posted by pervert predators who are violating the victims’ privacy rights … Yet Google has taken little or no action to stop these outrageous violations.”
