Jennifer Lawrence — Non-Selfie Nude Pics Create Legal Hurdle

EXCLUSIVE

Jennifer Lawrence‘s fight to get her hacked nude photos removed from the Internet might have hit a legal snag — the same one Ellen DeGeneres ran into with that well-known Oscars selfie.

Sources connected to the investigation tell TMZ … Lawrence’s attorney fired off a letter to a porn website demanding it take down the nude photos of J-Law because she owns the copyright on the pics. We’re told the website isn’t buying that argument though.

The site’s stance is … since some of the pics are NOT selfies, the person who really took those photos would most likely hold the copyright. In its response to Lawrence’s attorney … we’re told the site is demanding proof of Jennifer’s copyright, or the name of the person who snapped the shots.

Ironically, J-Law was prominent in the Oscar selfie — which became the most retweeted photo ever when Ellen posted it. But as we told you, Bradley Cooper really owns the shot because he took it.

FUN FACT: Bradley co-starred with J-Law in “Silver Linings Playbook.”
