After Google was threatened with a lawsuit, the giant corporation responded to the claims that it didn't act appropriately toward the celebrity hacking scandal.

Kate Upton Taking Legal Action Against Leaked Photos

"We've removed tens of thousands of pictures - within hours of the requests being made - and we have closed hundreds of accounts," a spokesperson for the company said in a statement. "The internet is used for many good things. Stealing people's private photos is not one of them."

Marty Singer, who represents several of the celebrities whose iCloud was hacked, threatened to sue Google for $100 million. Kate Upton and Jennifer Lawrence were among the initial famous women to have their personal photos smeared all over the Internet. Many more famous females fell victim to the hack in the weeks that followed.

Meagan Good Responds To Nude Photo Leak

In a letter Singer wrote: "Google's despicable, reprehensible conduct in not only failing to act expeditiously and responsibly to remove the Images, but in knowingly accommodating, facilitating and perpetuating the unlawful conduct."

Singer explained that other companies, including Twitter, quickly responded to requests to have the photos removed. On the other hand, he said Google allowed the photos to float around.

"If your wives, daughters or relatives were the victims of such blatant violations of basic human rights, surely you would take appropriate action," the letter also reads. "But because the victims are celebrities with valuable publicity rights, you do nothing - - nothing but collect millions of dollars in advertising revenue from your co-conspirator advertising partners as you seek to capitalize on this scandal rather than quash it. Like the NFL, which turned a blind eye while its players assaulted and victimized women and children, Google has turned a blind eye while its sites repeatedly exploit and victimize these women."
