I'm shocked by reports that Emma Watson is being attacked for the speech she gave at the UN on gender equality.
Sadly, I'm not surprised. Nor is the nature of the attack at all surprising.
Even if those photos don't exist, I have no doubt someone will use Photoshop to create them, if not use those that already exist out there.
For those that don't know, Emma Watson was proclaimed the Goodwill Ambassador for Women at the UN. She gave a speech to the General Assembly. There's a video of that speech at the CNN link above.
I found nothing offensive or wrong with her speech. But it's not hard to see where others would see lots to oppose. Like the mere fact that she's a woman and speaking out.
Go get 'em, Emma. Here's one man rooting for you.

According to reports, Watson's recent impassioned speech for gender equality at the United Nations has drawn backlash, including a threat to leak alleged nude photos of the star.
