Rapper Iggy Azalea deactivated her Instagram and Twitter accounts after topless photos of her surfaced which she said left her feeling "violated."
The images appeared online over the weekend and Azalea said in a since-deleted note on social media that they were from a 2016 GQ magazine shoot.
"There was no reason for anyone to have kept the outtakes from the shoot," she wrote. "I'm surprised and angry that they were not immediately deleted after the final images were selected."
The leaked images, which were taken by photographer Nino Muñoz, show Iggy posing with her breasts exposed in nothing but a pair of white pajama shorts.
'I hadn't seen other women's covers leak so I felt comfortable (on a closed set) to model for such a reputable magazine knowing only the images with my hands covering [my breasts] would be considered for print.'Iggy added that she 'never consented' to having her topless photos released, explaining that 'it was my understanding... GQ do not print topless pictures.'
Meanwhile, GQ Photographer, Nino Muñoz has now spoken out following the release of the unauthorised nude photos in a statement on his Instagram account. He says;
"My heart goes out to anyone this situation has affected. I’m utterly outraged and will not rest until justice is served."
In the note, the photographer -- who has also shot Jamie Dornan and Gisele Bundchen -- revealed that the images in question "were stolen and published without permission" and that there is "currently an investigation underway" in order to find the perpetrator."I empathise with any discomfort that this situation has caused to anyone that is involved," he added.
