Kim Kardashian is no stranger to posting pictures of herself online via her Instagram account, but that doesn't mean that she will take a nude photo leak lightly.

Kardashian is one of the victims of a second wave of celebrity nude photo leaks which has been published online, much to the dismay of her family and in particular husband, Kanye West.

Kardashian's nude photos spread on the Internet via 4chan and Reddit on Sunday, along with photos of other female celebrities.

Though neither Kardashian nor any of her representatives or spokespersons have released a statement regarding the matter, actress Gabrielle Union spoke against this threat to privacy, as reported by TMZ.

"I can't help but to be reminded that since the dawn of time women and children, specifically women of color, have been victimized, and the power over their own bodies taken from them," Union said, labeling those who leaked the photos as 'vultures.'

Other stars whose photos have been leaked online are Vanessa Hudgens, Hayden Pannetiere, Mary-Kate Olsen and US female goal keeper, Hope Solo.

The nude photo leak happened weeks after private photos of Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst and Kate Upton were leaked online.

Kardashian's husband, Kanye West, has not released a statement regarding the nude photos, though Daily Mail suggests the recording artist was furious as he got on a plane heading out of Los Angeles, Calif.

West was earlier seen landing at LAX hours after the Kim Kardashian nude photo leak, with a demeanor suggesting that he has no mercy for those who violated his wife's privacy.
