Jill Scott Gets Caught Up

Jill Scott

Jill Scott is not the first celebrity to have nude pictures exposed to the world. Not even the first black celebrity. But now it  happened to her. And I know this black woman is mad as hell!

Two images appeared on Twitter that were supposed to be of Jill. One appeared to be a selfie of her in front of a bathroom mirror. Another showed a woman with her breasts exposed. Of course this was the topic of many Tweets. Jill confirmed that it was her in only one of the photos and not the naked one.

Its bad enough that her privacy was violated but some people actually criticized her body. Her fans wasted no effort or time to defend her.

Jill Tweeted about the images saying, ““I def took the 1st pic w/ a robe; weight loss chronicle but the 2nd, sorry freaks, is not me. I wish I had that space between my thighs.”You can see all of Jill’s tweets here.

Breaking it Down

Some people think this is about nude celebrities and hacking. They are wrong. Some people think this is about Internet security. Wrong again! This is about our society and the lost respect for privacy. It reaches from the corporations that follow our every move and turn even children into information gathering tools.

Its about government and the lack of leadership and will to provide laws to protect the citizens from the prying eyes of these corporations and other people.

Its about a society that seems to enjoy tagging and tweeting and texting about everything we do and everywhere we go. 

We have lost respect for ourselves and one another by exposing what we do in the privacy of our lives. Our private thoughts and actions are being exposed. We are guilty of exposing ourselves and tolerating those who expose us against our wishes.

Jill did nothing wrong. None of the celebrities did anything wrong. They are simply the victims of a society that has forgotten what it is to respect one another. Civil respectful human beings don’t do these things. What did these creeps get for doing this? A little over $100 dollars and the attention of the FBI. They did it because they revel in trying to shame and embarrass other people simply because they are well known. Its the sign of a sick and immature mind immersed in an open and lost society.

We have to regain some self respect. We have to stop sexting and revealing things about ourselves just because we can and have the tools. In order to be angered by people who pry open the lives of others we need to respect our own lives and how we live it. We need to keep what we do behind closed doors private. We need to re-discover privacy.

Jill if you read this keep your head up. You did nothing wrong. Its those others (I won’t call them human beings) that broke into your life like thieves and stole your privacy and dignity that should be ashamed. But they probably are not because to feel shame you have to have dignity and pride and self-respect. But instead they have shown everybody how pathetic their lives really are. Haven’t they?
