Maisie Williams Nude Photos Leak, Actress Responds

Some idiotic Internet user has clearly never watched Game of Thrones.


Because he or she has dared to mess with Maisie Williams.


The actress – best known and absolutely beloved for playing Arya Stark on the aforementioned HBO drama – has become the latest nude photo hacking victim, with pictures of Williams in a state of undress having hit the Internet.


Out of respect, we’re not about the post the images here, but they have been making the rounds on Reddit for days.



The pictures depict the 19-year-old posing topless on a rock. Her back is turned to the camera and she’s with two female friends who are also in skimpy outfits.


A rep for Williams has even issued a statement to The New York Post, confirming that his client is featured in the photos, while also downplaying their racy nature.


“The images online were shared from Maisie’s personal social media account,” this rep tells Page Six, adding:


“The images are not explicit in nature, but pictures of Maisie and close friends at a spa at a recent visit to Japan.”


Such a violation of privacy is galling under any circumstance, of course.


But Williams took this trip to Japan in order to protest dolphin shows and the hunting of the aquatic mammals.


We guess that’s why they say no good deed goes unpunished, huh?



Because people on the Internet can often suck a whole lot, Williams is merely the latest female star to suffer from an online hacking.


Remember The Fappening in 2014? Remember when Jennifer Lawrence nude pics broke loose on the World Wide Web?


Kristen Dunst and Kaley Cuoco were among the other actress victimized at that time by some loser hacker, while Saturday Night Live star Leslie Jones watched her nude pics get stolen and released over the summer.


Williams, meanwhile, has long been an outspoken enemy of sexism.


She calls out misogyny whenever she sees it and she was responsible for one of our favorite quotes ever on the topic.


“We should stop calling feminists ‘feminists,’” the young star once said.


“And just start calling people who aren’t feminist ‘sexist” and then everyone else is just a human. You are either a normal person or a sexist. People get a label when they’re bad.”


We can’t say this loudly enough:


AMEN, MAISIE WILLIAMS!




Maisie Williams quote


Williams will return to the small screen for Game of Thrones Season 7 next year.


We’ll obviously be tuning in because Game of Thrones is awesome and epic and everyone with a television ought to be watching.


But also just to cheer on Williams.


She’s only 19 years old and she’s more mature and insightful than a majority of people on this planet.


And certainly a lot more than the moron who leaked her semi-naked photos online.

Maisie Williams Shuts Down Sexist Headline: See What She Said!

Maisie Williams for ALL the wins, people.


The Game of Thrones actress has been featured prominently on Game of Thrones Season 6, but that’s not why we’re singing her praises right now.



Instead, we’re giving mad props to Williams for her response to an openly sexist newspaper headline from earlier this week.


It stemmed from an event the young star attended over the weekend, one that raised money for an important cause.


But did The Daily Mail focus on this cause? Did it talk about the reasons why Williams a masquerade ball?


Nope. It took aim at her outfit instead. Here is the headline:




other headline



Because Maisie Williams is totally awesome, though, she didn’t take this slight sitting down.


She didn’t remain silent in response to being called out for not wearing a bra.


She went ahead and re-Tweeted the sexist remark, offering up an alternative for what the newspaper could have written in its place:




maisie tweet



HA! We love it.


This isn’t the first time Williams had spoken out against sexism, either.


Consider her awesome take on the idea of feminism in general. Is she all for it? Sort of, but…




M. Williams meme



Like we said above: Maisie Williams for ALL the wins.


Instead of saying someone is a “feminist,” let’s all go in the opposite direction and use the term “sexist” for anyone who is somehow opposed to women being equal to men.


Okay? Okay!


Glad we had this conversation.
