Hunger Games Star Leaks Own Nudes to ‘Take Back Control’ After Blackmail…Check PHOTOS below!
Willow Shields, best known for her role as Primrose Everdeen in “The Hunger Games” series, recently took a stand against her blackmailer by sharing a personal photo on Instagram.
In April 2023, Willow found herself in a difficult situation when she was blackmailed over private nude pictures. Someone had accessed her private photos and threatened to share them online. To reclaim her power, Willow decided to post the photo herself on Instagram. Alongside the photo, the “Spinning Out” star shared her thoughts and feelings:

“I’m being blackmailed and extorted for nude photos of myself, something private that was never meant to be shared with the whole world. I’m taking back the control and sharing it with you first. Here’s the photo they emailed and attached threatening to share with my friends, family, and the internet. They claim to have many more ‘less tame’ photos to use against me. I will not let someone else make choices involving my own body, I will not allow someone to have power over me.”
Willow also mentioned that she reported the person to the FBI, hoping the authorities would take the matter seriously and pursue the criminal.
She added, “I also share this because I know how many other people are affected daily by revenge porn and nude leaks, carried out by hackers and criminals in an effort to break down body and mind, both deeply vulnerable. I understand and I’m sorry it exists. I will not stand for any slut-shaming; this is my body, and I will share it with whomever I choose.”

Willow’s courage garnered significant support and praise from her 800,000 followers. One fan commented, “We stand with you, Willow, and I am so sorry this is happening to you.” Another supporter expressed admiration, saying, “I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I applaud your approach to owning your power and not allowing another to take it from you. Have always been a massive fan, and now even more so. Solidarity, sis.” A third fan added, “You are absolutely beautiful, Willow. You’re doing an incredible thing here; do not let anyone tell you differently.”

Bella Thorne, another celebrity who faced a similar situation, also reached out: “Right now! I worked with the FBI too on something very similar.”
Willow initially rose to fame as the younger sister of Katniss Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence) in “The Hunger Games” film trilogy. She has since gained further recognition for leading roles in the international-production fantasy film “Into the Rainbow” (2017), the drama “Woodstock or Bust” (2019), and the Netflix drama series “Spinning Out” (2020).
