Jennifer Garner slams 'abusive' hacking

London: Actress Jennifer Garner has slammed the hacking of female celebrities' photographs as 'violent abuse'.

The 42-year-old 'Men, Women & Children' actress said that seeing stars such as Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton and Anna Kendrick have their intimate pictures stolen from their iCloud accounts and posted online earlier this year made her so angry, she wanted to 'hurt somebody'.

"It's an invasion. It's violent. It's a violent abuse of women. They're not just doing it to any woman. These women know when they're walking down the streets that so many people have seen them in this way. It just makes me want to hurt somebody," Garner was quoted as saying Loaded magazine.
