Vogue just spoke the TRUTH about revenge porn in Ireland

by

2016 has been a stellar year for Vogue Williams but, unfortunately, it has been tainted by a despicable revelation made this week.

A few days ago, it emerged that a number of well-known Irish personalities had had their images photo-shopped onto pornographic content, and Vogue was disgusted to discover that she was one of them.

While some might crumple up into a ball over such a scandal however, Vogue has taken a defiant stance in response.

The model and presenter appeared on last night’s Late Late Show, and made a rallying call for Ireland’s legislators to crack down on such criminal activity.

Admitting that she was more ‘annoyed’ than ‘upset’, Vogue told Ryan Tubridy: “These images go up, and there’s nothing I can do about it. They go up onto one site, then they go up onto hundreds of sites, and you can’t get them down.”

“There’s not really any laws in Ireland to stop all that, and I suppose you can’t stop it because it’s like wildfire,” she added.

She also touched on the subject of revenge porn, which she says has become ‘huge’ over the past number of years.

“She can’t get [the videos] down, and he can’t be prosecuted. You tarnish someone’s image and you can get in trouble for it with the law, but you can put up a video of her performing a sex act and you can get away with it! We need to catch up quite quickly with that,” she said.

Hear, hear, Vogue. It's time we all followed suit and spoke up about this serious issue.
