Jennifer Lawrence covers the new issue of Vanity Fair, and the 24-year-old actress is breaking her silence on her recent nude photo scandal. And in case you didn't see her boobs in the dozen or so photos that leaked online earlier this summer, she's posing topless for the mag. Anyway...

The Oscar winner tells the publication:
    "Just because I’m a public figure, just because I’m an actress, does not mean that I asked for this. It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It’s my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe that we even live in that kind of world."

"I started to write an apology, but I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he’s going to look at you," she added. She didn't mention ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult by name, but he's clearly who she's referencing.

“I was just so afraid," she said. "I didn’t know how this would affect my career ... When I have to make that phone call to my dad and tell him what’s happened … I don’t care how much money I get for The Hunger Games. I promise you, anybody given the choice of that kind of money or having to make a phone call to tell your dad that something like that has happened, it’s not worth it.”

J. Law, who is now dating Coldplay singer Chris Martin, continues:
    "It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. It’s disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody’s mind is to make a profit from it. It’s so beyond me. I just can’t imagine being that detached from humanity. I can’t imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside. Anybody who looked at those pictures, you’re perpetuating a sexual offense. You should cower with shame."

So how is she handling it? “Time does heal, you know,” she concludes. “I’m not crying about it anymore. I can’t be angry anymore. I can’t have my happiness rest on these people being caught, because they might not be. I need to just find my own peace.”
