Whitney Cummings Shut Down A Blackmail Attempt By Releasing Her Own Topless Pic
This is kind of like when Bella Thorne released her own nipple pics before some rude hackers could do it first. Whitney Cummings beat some blackmailers to the punch by tweeting a topless picture. And if boobs aren’t your thing, this story also has a close-up picture of balls.
This story actually starts back in April, when Whitney accidentally slipped a nip during an Instagram story. Whitney deleted the story, but someone took a screen grab before she was able to delete the evidence. Whitney hopped on Twitter yesterday to explain that sometime between then and now, several people slid into her DMs with the screen grab, asking how much money it would take for her to make sure the picture wasn’t posted again. Whitney probably thought she’d safely escaped being dragged into any Twitter drama when she quit Roseanne, but here we are.
Whitney explained that some of the people messaging her claimed to have received offers to buy the picture, whereas others were just going to release it purely out of spite unless they got some cash. So she said fuck it, and tweeted the picture before they could get it out there.
1) In April I accidentally posted an insta story that showed nipple. Once I realized, I deleted. The people who took screen grabs are trying to get money from me, some said they have offers to sell them, some are asking for money to not post the photo.

2)They all must think I’m way more famous than I am, but they also must think I’m way more easily intimidated than I am. If anyone is gonna make money or likes off my nipple, it’s gonna be me. So here it all is, you foolish dorks. pic.twitter.com/cet4YEXVyG

She also explained she won’t expose her extorters, because they could just be “dumb kids.” She also doesn’t care if anyone hacks into the rest of her nudes. She also explained that it would be way less stress to just put her nipple out there, than to deal with lawyers for months on end.
When a woman in the public eye is extorted, we have to spend time, money and energy dealing with it, hiring lawyers and security experts, and living with a pit in our stomach about when and how we will be humiliated. Y’all can have my nipple, but not my time or money anymore.

I'm not posting the names of the people trying to extort me because some of them might be dumb kids. I wouldn't want the stupid ideas I had when I was a teenager to follow me around forever or else every time someone Googled me, they'd see me shoplifting a NO FEAR t-shirt. .

Now I'm getting threatened with "we have access to your iCloud." I'll be honest, I stand by most of my nudes. Frankly I'm way more embarrassed by all the inspirational quotes I've screen grabbed.

Eventually, this inspired Whitney’s friends to start sharing their own embarrassing pics.
Real friends send you their embarrassing pix when you're embarrassing pix come out. Thank you @chrisdelia for humiliating yourself to make me feel better. pic.twitter.com/TdZ6vuzpye

That turned into a bunch of internet strangers sharing pictures, and the #IStandWithWhitney hashtag was born. When I saw that #IStandWithWhitney was trending on Twitter, I naturally figured that someone had fucked over Whitney Houston, and was ready to jump on the bandwagon for justice. But in reality, the bandwagon was filled with nipples, dicks, butts, and balls.
Nobody is more bummed than me that #istandwithwhitney isn’t about Whitney Houston

Thank you everyone who sent me embarrassing pictures of yourselves to make me feel better about my embarrassing photo. It means the world to me, but I wouldn't freak out if you stopped sending me photos of your hairy balls.

There was a cost associated with that nipple pic, one Whitney wasn’t willing to pay. The only problem is, that burden has fallen on the rest of us. Or should I say, it’s fallen on our eyes. Whitney requested people stop sending her pics of hairy balls, but after she retweeted a picture of hairy, waterslide-injured balls (NSFW).
This is what a true friend looks like. https://t.co/VBOspxuAEv

Oh my god, it looks like one of those jelly-filled stress balls. Honestly, if Whitney really wanted to get revenge on any of those awful Twitter blackmailers, she should just respond to their messages with that picture. Wait, no – don’t do that Whitney. She said she wanted to avoid lawyers, and she’s bound to see a couple lawsuits after she surprises her scammers with that picture, and they go temporarily blind.
