Vonn, 32, released a statement to People that was published Monday night.
“It is an outrageous and despicable invasion of privacy for anyone to steal and illegally publish private intimate photos,” Vonn’s publicist Lewis Kay said in the statement.
“Lindsey will take all necessary and appropriate legal action to protect and enforce her rights and interests. She believes the individuals responsible for hacking her private photos as well as the websites that encourage this detestable conduct should be prosecuted to the fullest extent under the law.”
Woods and his attorney are also threatening legal action against Celeb Jihad, who posted the nude photos, according to TMZ.
The photos were taken several years ago while Vonn and Woods were dating, according to the People report. The two split in 2015, citing their busy schedules.
