Adele was outraged when she found out private pictures of her and her son Angelo have leaked online. The pop singer's camp wouldn't have noticed the leakage had they not been informed by a diehard fan.
An anonymous hacker managed to obtain Adele's ultrasound scans, pregnancy pictures and private selfies by rummaging through e-mails between the "Someone Like You" singer and her partner Simon Konecki. The photos were then uploaded on a private social media fan-group, as per The Sun.
It didn't take too long for one of its members to alert Adele's people about the infringement. The concerned netizen stated that the images were too private for public consumption.
"I think it is disgusting that her so-called fans were sending them around and I thought it should be stopped. They are way too private, especially the scan and picture of her when she was pregnant," said the concerned fan. "If Adele wanted to share these pictures I am sure she would. It would be up to her if she wants intimate pictures like this shown around."
The singer's security team later inspected the images and decided to temporarily suspend her social media accounts to prevent other people from taking advantage of the situation. The 27-year-old recording artist is still fuming mad about what had happened, but she has yet to issue a public statement.
Adele is known to be very protective of her private life. She doesn't want fame to consume her like it did to other celebrities in the past. She previously revealed to Mirror that the death of Amy Winehouse had a profound impact on her and the way she views stardom.
"People think I hate being famous. I don't. I'm really frightened of it. Watching Amy deteriorate is one of the reasons I'm a bit frightened. We were all very entertained by her being a mess," she said. "If someone showed me a picture of her looking bad, I'd look at it. That level of attention is frightening."
