Clay Aiken: hacked celebs "deserved" to have nude photos posted

"American Idol" crooner turned politician Clay Aiken says Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities whose private, intimate photos were hacked and posted had it coming.

Tell that to Jill Scott. She had a pretty powerful response to the geeks who grabbed and posted her boudoir photos.

Aiken says whoever did the hacking and posting "should be hogtied." He is running for a North Carolina Congressional office and was in Atlanta earlier this year in search of donations.

We're guessing he's ok with us posting it.
