The low-fap-impact of the images coupled with the convenient timing suggest that the leak could be intentional to drum up publicity, though a rep for Aguilera says that the images were obtained without the singer’s knowledge:
“The photos of Christina Aguilera being leaked to the press were illegally obtained by a hacker who tapped into Christina’s personal stylist’s account,” the rep said. “The photos were taken in the privacy of Ms. Aguilera’s home and were used only in a personal exchange between the star and her stylist…”
“We find the actions of the hackers and the press who purchased and/or obtained these photos to be irresponsible and actionable,” the rep continued. “We are attempting to determine the identity of the hackers and will pursue them aggressively. Their conduct is reprehensible.”
