“MAFS” star Lauren Dunn attacks trolls over nude photo leak

Married at First Sight Australia Star Lauren Dunn has sharply criticized trolls after nude photos of her were leaked online.

The star appeared in the 11th season of the reality show and got together with Jonathan McCullough during the experiment before splitting up before the final ceremony.

Although she didn't make it big on the show, Lauren has since become popular with her fans and shared a video on her Instagram stories recalling a situation from her past that she is now being mocked for.

“I have a little story for you,” she began. “About 10 years ago, my then ex – I think, I don't know if it was him, it could have been someone else – leaked a topless photo that I had sent him. And in the end, everyone got it, it was everywhere.”

“It wasn't a big deal – I mean, we all have tits and nipples, so whatever – but lately I've been getting a lot of messages saying they have the photo. I've even had random troll accounts try to blackmail me with it. I'm going to post the photo – I look good. So swipe to the next slide to see the nude photo in question.”

“Here she is in all her glory,” she joked as she posted a censored version of the image. “So if you don't have the photo like everyone else, here it is. Obviously I can't post nipples here, but you know, use your imagination.”

Then she got more serious and asked people not to share other people's photos: “Don't post other people's nude photos – it's actually illegal.”

“This guy is lucky I don't care. I wouldn't have sent it if I didn't think someone would see it. That's usually not the case though. There are laws against it for a reason, so don't do it.”
