A topless picture Amber Heard sent to Johnny Depp was leaked online in a second wave of celebrity nude photos leaked yesterday, which include A-list celebrities Gabrielle Union, Kim Kardashian West, Rihanna, Kate Bosworth, Hayden Panetierre, Lake Bell, Avril Lavigne and Vanessa Hudgens.
Heard had over 50 nude or semi-nude photographs posted onto websites 4chan and Reddit yesterday, including the private topless message to her 51-year-old fiancé.
According to TMZ, Heard is shown topless holding up a sign directed at the Lone Ranger star, referring to him as “Tonto.”
Meanwhile, Being Mary Jane star Union has lashed out after a private, topless photo she sent to her new husband, Dwyane Wade, was leaked online, comparing the publication of private pictures to “hate crimes.”

The leak led the couple to contact the FBI and release a pointed statement.
“It has come to our attention that our private moments, that were shared and deleted solely between my husband and myself, have been leaked by some vultures.
“I can’t help but to be reminded that since the dawn of time women and children, specifically women of color, have been victimised, and the power over their own bodies taken from them. These atrocities against women and children continue worldwide.
“For anyone out there also being affected by these and other hacking and hate crimes – we send our love, support and prayers. We have done nothing wrong.”

More than 100 celebrities were affected by the scandal last month after an unidentified hacker stole private nude images and videos from Apple’s iCloud.
Apple denies a security breach and said it was “outraged” by the attack. The tech megalith encourages users to update their accounts with a “strong” password and enable two-step verification.
