According to Arquette (Boardwalk Empire), sexual intimacy is not "deviant" behavior. "What is deviant is when a community decides that they can break into your sexuality, steal that from you, insert themselves, observe your private sexuality," the actress told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday. "That society thinks it's OK, that it's their [celebrities'] fault, that's deviant."
In allowing the public to blame the victims of this crime, Arquette argued that society is teaching children that it's all right to "communally molest" these women who are guilty of nothing.

Amy Adams (American Hustle) noted that the photo hack is something she had never thought about when she first became an actress.
"The world was so different when we made our choices to come into the industry," she explained, "So what's happening now, this is something that is completely new to everybody."
The hacking of private images resulted in the theft of over 100 photos of female celebrities, including those of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, and Jenny McCarthy.
Over the last few months Lawrence (Winter's Bone, The Hunger Games) has emerged as a voice for communal outrage, claiming that the invasion of privacy should result in a change in the law.
