Since the advent of the internet, photoshopped, drawn and rendered porn images of almost every female who comes to the attention of the media are now to be found. How do they deal with this? I was thinking specifically of Emma Watson, who was cast to portray Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies at age 9; at what point do you suppose she realized or was told that this meant that people would be whacking off to images of her taking magically enlarged cocks forever? ---

I don’t have much to add other than it happens to quite a few male celebrities as well - their heads photoshopped onto the bodies of gay porn stars and the like. ---

Why would anyone go out of their way to tell her that? I assume that female celebrities probably realize that female celebrities in general are subject to this and figure out that they’re not going to be an exception. In some cases they probably run into examples of fake porn featuring themselves (I imagine celebrities google themselves). ---

It’s one reason why you see far fewer nude scenes now than what you saw in the 1970s. Back then, a woman could appear nude in a movie and know that it would only be shown in context in theaters during the run. Now, it can be taken out and shown out of context anywhere. It makes women much more reluctant to go nude. ---

Not, of course, that it started with the ‘bibles’, either - no doubt there are naughty drawings of famous people, going back as far as the average person could be expected to know what they looked like. But I can provide a cite for the existence of the bibles. ---

Yeah, but there’s a difference between drawings and photos. Not the least of which is that the drawings can get distributed without the celebrity ever actually doing anything at all, so they wouldn’t provide any incentive for or against anything. ---

I would assume they just figured fake porn like this came with the territory and ignored it. One of the pitfalls of fame, I guess (and a fairly minor one at that). ---

Perhaps, but in the case of child actresses who like all teens go through the phase of being easily embarassed and humiliated especially where things sexual are concerned, it must be a rough speed bump on the road to fame. ---

I’m gonna go with, meh, the technologies improved, but the underlying concepts are same old, same old. Weren’t they doing slash fiction of Marie Antoinette back in the day? Ok, that was politically motivated, but still. ---

Alyssa Milano and her momager started suing webmasters in the late 90’s after Alyssa’s little brother [npi]came across[/npi] nude pictures of big sis. I think she was unaware of the phenomenon before this. ---

Child stars aren’t stupid. If you read or listen to interviews one thing you see is they hang around with adults. This has the effect of them learning things faster than other children, simply by being in the area. ---

I think she was unaware of the phenomenon before this. Which is slightly different from what the OP is referring to as those were real nude pictures of Milano from some of her first “grown-up” roles. Which begs the question, is “leaking” naked cell phone shots the new “Sure, I’ll be in your softcore movie!” for child stars who want to be seen as grown-up? I guess a Maxim photo shoot would qualify too. ---

The Maxim shoot is “Hey! I’m all grown up now!”. The leaked cell phone pics are “Hey! No one is talking about me and the offers are drying up!” ---

It makes women much more reluctant to go nude. Nudity isn’t the big seller it once was either. Why sit through a two hour film about romance in the Victorian era just to see five seconds of current hot starlet’s breasts when you can just google it and see it immediately and without paying. ---

> [@Justin\_Bailey](#): > > Which is slightly different from what the OP is referring to as those were real nude pictures of Milano from some of her first “grown-up” roles. Yes, essentially what Milano’s mom was objecting to was people not paying to see her daughter naked. If you bought a ticket for, rented or bought “Embrace of the Vampire” that was fine.
