LOS ANGELES: “Beauty and the Beast” star Emma Watson is taking legal action after dozens of private pictures of her trying on clothes were stolen and posted online, her publicist said on Wednesday. “Photos from a clothes fitting Emma had with a stylist a couple of years ago have been stolen,” the 26-year-old British actress’s spokesman told Agence France-Presse. The “Harry Potter” star was also threatened on the controversial 4Chan message board in 2014 with a leak of nude images after delivering a speech on gender equality. Dozens of photos of stars were posted online as part of the 2014 phishing exercise, including shots of Rihanna, Kate Upton and Kirsten Dunst. Tech giant Apple admitted there had been a “targeted attack,” but denied its cloud storage system had been breached.
