Nicole Scherzinger recently slammed the anonymous hackers who leaked her intimate video with ex-Lewis Hamilton, terming it "unbelievably mean."

"I genuinely don’t understand why someone would do something like this, or why they would leak it. It's an unbelievably mean thing to do," Scherzinger reportedly said.

A home video, featuring her and Hamilton cuddling in bed was leaked last month and although, she didn't say more about the leak, it has clearly caused distress to the singer and understandably so.

Leaks of this nature tend to cause harm not only to a person's psyche, but in the case of a celebrity, they may also harm their brand. So, what should Scherzinger do next? Admit to what happened and move on, say our experts.
