As Twitchy readers may or may not know, very private videos of Glenn Greenwald partaking in very private, adult activities were shared on social media without his permission. The videos made the rounds very quickly, and Greenwald was trending for most of the night and morning.

If you did not see the video, we would encourage you not to look for it. Especially since it sounds like it was released with malicious intent.

Greenwald released the following statement about the videos:

❤️ I'm sorry this happened to you. No one deserves this, especially over something as idiotic as politics.

I have no intention of searching for or watching the private videos of a public figure. So as far as I’m concerned, you’re good.

You should’ve known, ever since Snowden, Assange, and the existence of surveillance tools like Pegasus, that nothing on your device is ever truly private. Given your critical reporting, it’s hard to understand why you’d film such ‘disturbing’ content in the first place.

So sorry @ggreenwald
Praying for you and the boys. Hope they are okay? 🙏✝️💛

If this was all consensual, I don’t particularly care.

Not my life, but I am sorry that this happened to you.
