Leaked Nudes & Sex Tapes America’s Obsession With Power

America is both terrified and obsessed with the idea of nudity and how nude bodies must be viewed as sexual objects. This double-edged sword of a relationship America has with nudity shows its true colors whenever we see celebrity nude photos or sex tapes leak. Since the internet became a household commonality, America’s obsession with holding some sort of power over its brightest stars has led to an influx of leaked nudes and sex tapes.

In this week’s episode, we’re looking into both America’s weird relationship with naked bodies as well the media and general public’s response to leaked celebrity nude photos and unauthorized releases of sex tapes. A conversation sparked by the recent controversy over Britney Spears sharing self-censored nudes on Instagram led us down a rabbit hole covering everyone from Vanessa Hudgens to Pete Wentz to Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
