PHOTOS: Blake Lively Surfaces In Venice Amid Alleged Naked Photo Scandal
June 3 2011, Published 9:15 a.m. ET
Gossip Girl Blake Lively has made her first public appearance since the scandal erupted over alleged leaked naked images of the actress.
Lively, 23, appeared on board a water taxi in the Venice Canals, Italy, alongside her rumored new beau Leonardo DiCaprio.
When the photos in question hit the Internet, her reps were quick to deny that it was her although an anonymous hacker maintains that it is The Town star.
Ironically, a pensive looking Lively is seen clutching an iPhone in Italy -- in several of the alleged hacked images she was also seen with an Apple phone too.
“The photos of Blake Lively which have just surfaced on various websites ... are 100 percent FAKE,” Blake’s camp said in a statement. “Blake has never taken nude photos of herself.
“Blake will pursue legal action against the publication which initially published these photographs and any other outlets that republish them in any manner.”
