The 24-year-old “Harry Potter” alum and U.N. women global goodwill ambassador made headlines last September when she launched the “HeForShe” campaign, which aims to enlist 1 billion men and boys in the movement for gender equality.
After Watson delivered her speech, she said a new website popped up threatening to release naked pictures of her.
Watson said she knew the threat was empty, because she’d never taken any nude photos, but that didn’t make it any less cruel.
“I knew it was a hoax. I knew the pictures didn’t exist,” she told an interviewer Sunday during a HeForShe webcast.
