A topless picture Amber Heard sent to Johnny Depp has leaked online.
Over 50 racy photographs of the 28-year-old beauty were posted onto websites 4chan and Reddit yesterday (21.09.14) afternoon, including a message to her 51-year-old fiance.
According to TMZ, in the picture, Amber is holding up a sign which is clearly directed at the 'Lone Ranger' star and in which she refers to him as 'Tonto'.
Meanwhile, 'Being Mary Jane' star Gabrielle Union has hit out after a topless photo she sent husband Dwyane Wade was leaked online, comparing the publication of private pictures to "hate crimes".
She and her spouse - who have called the FBI over the matter - said in a statement:"It has come to our attention that our private moments, that were shared and deleted solely between my husband and myself, have been leaked by some vultures.
"I can't help but to be reminded that since the dawn of time women and children, specifically women of color, have been victimised, and the power over their own bodies taken from them. These atrocities against women and children continue worldwide.
"For anyone out there also being affected by these and other hacking and hate crimes - we send our love, support and prayers. We have done nothing wrong."
The photos of Amber and Gabrielle were leaked this weekend along with racy images of a host of stars including Kim Kardashian West, Rihanna, Kate Bosworth, Hayden Panetierre, Lake Bell, Avril Lavigne and Vanessa Hudgens.
The huge privacy breach came three weeks after another group of stars, including Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, had photographs leaked online.
More than 100 celebrities were affected by the scandal last month after an identified hacker stole explicit images and videos from Apple's iCloud service.
Apple said it was "outraged" by the attack and encouraged users to update their accounts with a "strong" password and enable two-step verification.

Emma Watson has experienced sexism from the age of eight.
The 'Harry Potter' actress gave a speech at the United Nations (UN) headquarters in New York yesterday (21.09.14) in her role as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador and spoke of becoming a feminist at a young age after witnessing discrimination first hand.
Speaking for the new 'HeForShe' equality campaign -which aims to "mobilise men against gender inequalities" - she told an audience including Kiefer Sutherland and Forest Whitaker: "When I was eight, I was confused about being called 'bossy' because I wanted to direct the plays that we would put on for our parents. But the boys were not.
"When at 14, I started to be sexualised by certain elements of the media, when at 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of their beloved sports teams, because they didn't want to appear 'muscle-y,' when at 18, my male friends were unable to express their feelings, I decided that I was a feminist."
However, the 24-year-old actress believes the perception of feminism has changed, and those who identify with feminists are seen as "anti-men" and "aggressive".
She added: "My recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Women are choosing not to identify as feminists.
"Apparently, I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, 'too aggressive,' isolating and anti-men, unattractive, even. Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one?
"I was appointed six months ago and the more I have spoken about feminism the more I have realised that fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating."
Emma went on to explain how men are suffering because of inequality and a fear of appearing "less macho" when they need help.
She added: "Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong.
"If we stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by what we are -- we can all be freer and this is what HeForShe is about. It's about freedom."

Niall Horan gets so nervous appearing on TV that he's "often close to puking".
The One Direction hunk has revealed that despite rising to fame on talent show 'The X Factor', he still can't get his fears under control when he has to perform on talk shows and other television programmes.
He explained: "You never come home from a 1D show and say it was quiet. It's the loudest show on the planet.
"But oddly enough, if I'm honest, going to perform on a TV show is when I get the most nervous.
"In fact, I get so tense I'm often close to puking."
The 21-year-old star - who admits he tries to avoid the celebrity lifestyle and counts going to the supermarket as a day out - also revealed speaking to Justin Timberlake prior to performing at the American Music Awards in 2013 had him holding back vomit once again.
Speaking in an extract from the band's new book 'One Direction: Who We Are', published in The Sun newspaper, he shared: "Before we went out, Justin Timberlake was coming off after collecting an award and I remember saying to the lads, 'Is that the calibre of people here?'
"To make matters worse, as he walked off Justin came over to say hello and I was bricking it, nearly swallowing my own puke. I was fine in the end, but it's draining being that nervous."

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is to launch her own record label.
The former Girls Aloud singer is set to go up against her fellow 'X Factor' judge Simon Cowell - who runs label Syco with Sony - by setting up her own establishment later this year, and while the star has gone solo since the pop group split, she is keen to attract all genres to her own venture.
A music industry source said: "It's a natural next step for Cheryl, having coached contestants for years on 'The X Factor'.
"She knows what it takes to succeed in the industry from her experience as a performer - both as a solo artist and as a group, from her years in Girls Aloud.
"Cheryl definitely knows her stuff. The artists she'll be interested in won't just be pop acts - it will cross over all genres.
"She loves music and is really excited about being able to springboard new talent.
The 31-year-old star is to release her fourth studio album 'Only Human' later this year and when she has completed work on the record she will move onto trying to make her record label a success.
The source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "At the moment, she has just finished recording her new album.
"Once 'Only Human' has been released - towards the end of the year - she's going to focus all her attention on her label.
"There's interest from all the big labels, but Cheryl may just go it alone."
Cheryl's latest venture will come as no surprise to Simon, who admitted in March he would love to offer her a label at Sony.
The brunette stunner recently settled her differences with the music mogul and returned to 'The X Factor' to take up a position alongside him on the judging panel this year.
Cheryl and Simon fell out when he sacked her from the US version of the talent show in 2011 just three weeks after she jumped across the pond from the UK 'X Factor' following a two-year spell on the ITV programme.

An 'X Factor' contestant tried to claim a £48.1 million payout with a fake lottery ticket.
Ten Senah couldn't believe her luck when she realised she had the winning numbers for the EuroMillions but, after storming to the offices of the lottery firm Camelot to claim her prize, she was refused the lump sum because the ticket had been tampered with.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Ten said: "I'm numb, I was planning the house, the car, everything. Nothing prepares you for that moment -- and then to have it taken away again, it's the cruellest thing in the world."
After Camelot said the slip was not genuine because the numbers had been stuck on with glue, Ten confronted the shopkeeper she bought the ticket from.
She added: "There's no way any of my friends would have got into my bag. I kept the ticket in my diary, really safe. I had no idea how this would have happened. It's the real ticket, that's it -- why would I have gone to Camelot and gone to the guy in the shop if I didn't truly believe I had won?
"I know it's totally crazy, I couldn't believe it myself."
However, a letter from Camelot stated that the lottery ticket, bought for the draw on May 23, was not a match and failed the company's security measures.
It reads: "During the validation procedure... your ticket failed company security checks.
"I would also mention that there were no jackpot-winning tickets that matched all five numbers and both Lucky Stars on Friday, May 23."
Meanwhile, Ten, who turned up to her first audition drunk, went through to the bootcamp stage of the competition last night (21.09.14) after receiving a 'yes' vote from Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole.

Nicolas Cage admits "snarky comments" get him down.
The 'Kick-Ass' actor can't stop himself reading peoples' opinions, and revealed he sometimes cares too much and complains to his wife about what the public have said about him.
He said: "I care about what people think of me. There are plenty of good things I've inherited from my father, but he was also very self-involved and someone who was concerned about how he was perceived.
"Some of the snarky comments people make can get under my skin. I can be a bit of a broken record at home when I read the things that are said about me.
"But I have to just stop belabouring these things and let it go, rather than complaining to my wife all the time."
Meanwhile, the star insisted the world of Hollywood has lost the "mystique" and sense of "romance" it had in the past, with the public choosing to focus on personal lives rather than the on-screen magic.
He told The Times Magazine: "There used to be a mystique and romance surrounding actors.
"But now people are more interested in their lives than their performances.
"It's not about what they do on camera, but what I would describe as their dirty laundry. I've had my share of that."

Roberto Orci has dropped out of the 'Power Rangers.'
The screenwriter-and-producer has been forced to quit as executive producer in the Lionsgate and Haim Saban's upcoming big screen reboot as his 'Star Trek 3' directing obligation has created a schedule clash.
However, Orci's exit won't affect the worldwide release of 'Power Ranges' on July 22, 2016, as Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz will still write the script for the movie and Saban will continue to produce alongside Brian Casentini, according to Deadline.com.
Meanwhile, 'Star Trek 3' is expected to go into production within the next six months after Orci, John D. Payne and Patrick McKay completed the initial draft of the script last month.
The 41-year-old screenwriter, who helped pen JJ Abrams's two 'Star Trek' films with Alex Kurtzman, also has his sights set on directing the movie.
He said earlier this year: "I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch. The studio has yet to even read the script. I'm in the middle of writing it, with the talented team of [John D.] Payne and [Patrick] McKay.
"They are true 'Star Trek' fans, as well. So, I can't even think anything about the future until I give them a script and they greenlight it. Until that happens, everything else is just a rumour."
The sci-fi franchise is expected to see stars such as Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana return, but details are shrouded in secrecy.
There is no release date lined up for 'Star Trek 3' yet, but it is expected to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the franchise in 2016.

Lauren Goodger insists Ricci Guarnaccio isn't her type.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star was seen flirting up a storm with the Geordie hunk during their time in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house but, after telling him they could only be friends, she's spoken out to confess that she just doesn't fancy him.
Writing in her column for new! magazine, she said: "Ricci has told people he can 100 per cent see us getting together now we're out, but I'm not sure how I feel. He's a lovely guy and my family really like him but he's just not my type. To be honest, I think my family thinks anyone who isn't my ex is good for me."
The 27-year-old beauty went on to dismiss reports that the former 'Geordie Shore' star was going to be whisking her away on a romantic trip.
She continued: "I think we got so close because we spent 24 hours a day together and it's nice to have someone's
affection. But the thing with Ricci was, he'd get funny with me if I didn't say things like, 'Yep, we're a couple and we're
going to get married'.
"As for him saying we're going to Paris on holiday - what?! I don't remember agreeing to this, and if I did, I would have
been drunk. But I've told him numerous times to take everything I say with a pinch of salt when I've had a drink."
Putting her comments to one side, Lauren went on to say that she does think Ricci is a "great guy", but hopes he can
accept that they're "just friends".

Craig Revel Horwood has branded the 'X Factor' panel "desperate".
The outspoken 'Strictly Come Dancing' judge also hit out at Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's judging skills, insisting she isn't impartial enough to give contestants a fair critique.
Responding to the 'Crazy Stupid Love' singer's comments about winning 'Strictly' not meaning or offering as much as winning 'The X Factor', Craig said: "I think it is sour grapes. As long as she keeps crying, that's all the audience wants from Cheryl.
"I think Simon [Cowell] made her say it - they're getting desperate for viewers so I think they'll use anything they can.
"[As for Cheryl's judging], I think if you get that attached to people it does harm your judging skills."
The choreographer believes his show is much more "fun" than its rival.
He added: "'Strictly' doesn't pick people up and drop them. And you get to learnt to dance. It's a lot more fun, it's not as serious."
However, despite his comments, Craig admits he does watch 'The X Factor' - to scout for new talent.
He told heat magazine: "I'm on the lookout for new talent for my theatre shows. So they do all the work for me."

"[As for Cheryl's judging], I think if you get that attached to people it does harm your judging skills."
The choreographer believes his show is much more "fun" than its rival.
He added: "'Strictly' doesn't pick people up and drop them. And you get to learnt to dance. It's a lot more fun, it's not as serious."
However, despite his comments, Craig admits he does watch 'The X Factor' - to scout for new talent.
He told heat magazine: "I'm on the lookout for new talent for my theatre shows. So they do all the work for me."

Liam Payne has claimed a naked photograph that leaked online over the weekend is not of him.
The One Direction hunk, 21, hit the headlines on Saturday (20.09.14) after an explicit image of a man sitting on a bed with another gentleman wearing nothing but a black cap began circulating on Twitter.
However, the singer took to the social networking site last night (21.09.14) to shoot down rumours that the nude man was him and address claims he's gay.
He tweeted: "Wow as if people think that weird photo going around is actually me lol think id rather tweet a full frontal than have people look at that
"I'm 100% not homophobic. But I'm also 100% not gay so when somebody says I am I'm gunna say I'm not which does not make me a homophobe (sic)."
Meanwhile, Liam isn't the only celebrity to get caught up in the recent nude photo leak as it is believed more than 100 stars have had naked snaps of them published online after an unidentified hacker stole images and videos from Apple's iCloud service.
Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst and Kate Upton were among the first to be affected by the hacking scandal and have all confirmed the images of them are real.
However, in a second attack over the weekend, photographs believed to be of Kim Kardashian West, Avril Lavigne, Vanessa Hudgens and Rihanna were posted on photo-sharing site 4chan and Reddit.
Apple said it was "outraged" by the scandal and encouraged users to update their accounts with a "strong" password and enable two-step verification.
