Update: Pictures rumored to be stolen from Emma Watson also turned out to be a viral hoax. The celebrities’ newly leaked photos come a few weeks after dozens of private pictures were stolen off of celebrities’ iClouds.
This story is developing.
Actress Amber Heard reportedly had up to 50 photos stolen from her personal collection, including one where she is holding a sign with a message to fiancé Johnny Depp.
The large amount of photos stolen from Heard may be the scandal's biggest invasion of privacy since Jennifer Lawrence.
