Was THE FAPPENING, the Leaking of Over 500 Nude Photos of Stars, Linked to Harvey Weinstein's iPhone (pizzagate)

submitted ago by migratorypatterns

Here's a Wikipedia summary for those who don't remember the incident:

The Fappening was alluded to by tweet asking whether Weinstein's phone could be source of those leaked photos.

Did "The Fappening" originate from Harvey Weinstein's iPhone/iCloud account? This post is from 2016... @Cernovich

I'm not familiar with this Twitter account, but a screengrab is posted that says:

  1. Apple maintained there was no hack to iCloud
  2. That the photos were the result of an "MAJOR HOLLYWOOD FIGURE" being broken into.
  3. That the photos were taken by this self-same MAJOR HOLLYWOOD FIGURE during the audition process

It's a theory, but one that could be true given what we know.

And before I forget here's the denial from Apple that its servers were hacked:

I can't see it being from Weinstein given that there were people that weren't actresses that were targeted, and the fact that there were plenty of pictures that were clearly between partners; Kate Upton and Justin Verlander, for example. Nope, not buying this one.

I don't know what sort of blackmail or freaky cheap thrills were going on. It's entirely possible that people were sending him things. Look at how many actresses have been set up by their boyfriends. Then there are the cases where no one was set up, the files were just stolen.

Doesn't negate anything.

that makes the most sense. I bet the img logs on imgur could tell a story with the metadata

I'll bet you're right.
