Can The Hackers Ruin Jennifer Lawrence's Career?

Another round of celebrity photos were released by hackers today. In each of the three big releases, Jennifer Lawrence has played a huge part. She has appeared in all three photo hacks and today an additional 55 naked photos of her were released which brings her total to nearly 300. That is a very large number of photos and apparently there are hundreds more of her still to be released along with movies. Most of the celebrities involved have suffered a day or two of outrage and embarrassment but have moved on and honestly, I think most of it will be forgotten. Jennifer Lawrence is different though. She had an image she tried to maintain that saw her get cast in big box office films and Academy Award type films that led to her reputation as a serious actress who has trouble not falling on big nights. She has generally been scandal free. None of this is her fault. The hackers broke a lot of laws and managed to access all of her photos. The problem she faces is that there are just so many of them and they just keep coming in wave after wave for just about a month. With more to come and now with her high profile coupling with Chris Martin, I wonder if she will get offered the same parts and roles. Does a producer or studio want to work with her knowing there could be other photos or something else leaked? A sex tape right when she is promoting some $200M movie. A lot of studios might decide to take a pass next time they hear her name.
