The second biggest victim of the huge intimate photo leak scandal is model Kate Upton, who has shot to fame thanks to the generous dimensions of her cleavage, as well as her stunning features. Kate, who has turned down photo shoots that required her to take off all of her clothes has now found herself completely exposed by an internet hacker.

After Jennifer Lawrence's intimacy suffered a similar blow, Upton now finds herself in indecent poses on the internet after an unknown hacker has managed to get into her icloud account and steal sensitive material.

The photos show the model in different states of undress, either alone or with her boyfriend, Justin Verlander. Most of them show essential bits of her anatomy that Kate has been trying to cover in magazine and fashion photo shoots.

Her representatives have spoken out on the leak today with the Mirror, lashing out at anyone who will dare to publish the indecent photos. The model's lawyers have called the leak an “outrageous violation” and added that “We intend to pursue anyone disseminating or duplicating these illegally obtained images to the fullest extent possible.”

Upton's camp hasn't tried to dismiss the leak as fake, like some other celebrities have done (singer Ariana Grande for one), and simply threatened to sue anyone trying to publish the photos for monetary gain. This is, of course, the best confirmation that the photos are, indeed, real.

The photos have been first leaked on the image sharing site 4Chan and were quickly picked up on other platforms such as Twitter and Reddit. Because of the controversial nature of the photos, most of the images are being taken down in a hurry. Twitter, in particular, is very careful about the leaks being spread by its users so it's suspending all accounts providing links or material.

Reactions to the photo leak scandal which has reached epic proportions and threatens to go even bigger as the hacker posted a list of some 100 celebrities he has sensitive material on are mixed: some have enjoyed this massive trip into the privacy of big celebrities, while others have condemned the leak and sympathized with the women who are today plastered all over the internet in various intimate poses.

Kate Upton was recently named one of the highest earning models in the industry as her face has been plastered all over billboards and magazine covers in the past year.

She's even starred in a movie alongside Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann, so it's going to be interesting to see if this scandal is going to have a positive or negative effect on her career.
