Former The O.C. star, Mischa Barton, has addressed the rumours that an ex-boyfriend is shopping a ‘sex tape’ featuring the actress around Hollywood.
In a press conference, the 31-year-old actress said learning of the betrayal had put her through “an incredibly hard and trying time.”
“This is a painful situation, and my absolute worst fear was realised when I learned that someone I thought I loved and trusted was filming my most intimate and private moments, without my consent [and] with hidden cameras,” she said.
“And then I learned something even worse: That someone is trying to sell these videos and make them public.”
Last night, Barton’s lawyer released a statement that the naked or sexually explicit images of the actress were recorded without her consent.
“There’s a name for this disgusting conduct: revenge pornography,” her attorney, Lisa Bloom, said via a statement released on Twitter.

It's a dog act that no one should have to put up with.
The sooner lawmakers around the globe catch up with the times for this sort of thing the better.
Agreed he is a dog for doing it. But given her celeb and countless occurances of this happening in the past, why the hell did she feel the need to make a sex tape? Bad judgement leading to sad results.
It literally says it was without her consent and with hidden cameras. Did you read the article?
I really feel for her and her distress about this shitty sort of behavior. I simply cannot imagine a trusted partner trying to do this.
Whoever you are mate, how great does it feel deep inside knowing you sold your integrity, reputation and trust for money. I don't usually make emotional posts, but this really shits me to tears.
