I do agree that well over 90% of sex-tape / phone pic 'leaks' are either9 a viral PR campaign or angry ex-significant other.

that being said, I really doubt it's the case with Christina Hendricks. Her career seems to be pretty solid and she's been married for quite a while. My first guess was she had her phone tied to some cloud network and they got pulled as Taco suggested.

On a semi-related note there was a pretty good Carolla podcast I listened to on a recent epic roadtrip where Tommy Lee gives some of the story on how his Pamela Anderson sex tape got leaked (http://adamcarolla.com/tommy-lee/)

He maintains that even though most people think they put it out on purpose, he actually knows exactly who stole it and sold it but there was all kinds of legal barriers out there stopping him from getting the guy or at least getting any money from the sales.

The cliffs if you don't want to listen to the podcast are that he was doing some kind of home remodeling, and he had the sex tape along with some other things in a safe in his garage. It was a small crew (I think just 3 guys) doing the housework and on the last day of the work he realized they had stolen the safe. Presumably they cracked the safe and discovered the sex tape, selling it to some major porno company for big bucks.

Tommy Lee attempted to file some lawsuits to at least get some money from the porn company as they had made millions off it but as I recall the porn company wasn't legally obligated to say how they came into possession of the tape and Tommy Lee didn't have any legal recourse to stop them from profiting from it nor did he have legal recourse to receive profits from it. I don't remember exactly why, but I think it came down to something like 'it's so widespread now you can't legally put in an order to cease its publication or acquire profit from it'

Actually kinda shitty all things considered.

adam corrola is the man

Well Pamela Andersons sex tape was the first one and an example to other how it can send you to immediate fame, talentless sluts like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian realized this and exploited it.
