Out of respect for everyone involved and in keeping with our own standards, we are returning all donations that resulted from this post,” the foundation said in a statement Tuesday. The pictures began making the rounds online on Sunday, after a host of celebrities’ personal Apple iCloud accounts were compromised. A Reddit user suggested Monday in a thread on the site that fellow Redditors who had viewed [nude images](http://time.com/3246562/hackers-jennifer-lawrence-cloud-data/) of celebrities donate to prostate-cancer research in Lawrence’s honor. The crux of the intended joke is that Lawrence has supported fighting prostate cancer “in the past” because masturbation may help prevent the disease. The fundraising drive [raised](http://gawker.com/horny-redditors-donate-thousands-to-cancer-research-in-1629516635) more than $6,000 before it was shut down by the foundation. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3259917/prostate-cancer-foundation-reddit-jennifer-lawrence-leaked-photos/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3259917/prostate-cancer-foundation-reddit-jennifer-lawrence-leaked-photos/"},"headline":"Cancer Foundation Returns Cash From Redditors Who Saw JLaw Nudes","datePublished":"2014-09-02T23:55:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:58:35.416Z","description":"The donations came out of a crude joke about masturbation","url":"https://time.com/3259917/prostate-cancer-foundation-reddit-jennifer-lawrence-leaked-photos/","keywords":["Jennifer Lawrence","reddit","Fundraising","icloud"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Denver Nicks","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/denver-nicks/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/jennifer-lawrence/","name":"Jennifer Lawrence"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3259917/prostate-cancer-foundation-reddit-jennifer-lawrence-leaked-photos/","name":"Cancer Foundation Returns Cash From Redditors Who Saw JLaw Nudes"}}]}] ```
