Phone hack leads to the first X-rated leak of the year

The Fappening X-rated content leak scandal continues in 2018 after an explicit sex tape belonging to actress Faye Brookes reached the web on several video sharing websites.

30-year-old Brookes, who plays the role of lesbian Kate Connor in the soap opera Coronation Street, has already contacted law enforcement after her phone has reportedly been hacked, though no specifics were provided on how and when the attack was conducted.

The video was first posted on one of the largest adult video sharing sites on the web and despite being removed shortly after, it recorded thousands of hits before being re-uploaded on a growing number of mirrors. Sites that are known for posting content as part of the Fappening saga have also published the leaked sex tape and, as it happened in the past, there’s little chance the clip is removed anytime soon.

Brookes “devastated” by sex tape leak

The actress hasn’t offered any statement following the leak, but on December 31 she retweeted a message sent in support by one of her fans.

“I’m devastated for @Faye_Brookes, it’s such a shame for her amazing year to end like this! I just hope she knows that this story will soon be forgotten about and be yesterday’s news! We all love you and will do no matter what #staystrong,” the message reads.

The Sun also cites one person close to Brookes as saying that she’s “devastated.” “Faye is understandably devastated. Like any woman, she will be mortified that this footage is a few clicks away. It has somehow been accessed by someone who doesn’t care how much upset they cause,” the source has been quoted as saying.

After the original Fappening scandal that led to several leaks of X-rated content belonging to celebrities across the world, several other stars got hacked last year, with their nude photos posted online. Victims of the 2017 edition of Fappening included Miley Cyrus, Nichole Scherzinger, Danielle Lloyd, and Maria Kanellis.
