The Sun reports that they alerted Adele’s management team to the breach on Friday. The images were circulated online though a private Facebook group of the singer’s biggest fans. However one member of the group was so appalled by the intrusion he also contacted her management.

The singer’s management then took down her social media accounts to stop them being compromised. The fan who alerted her management told The Sun: “I was appalled and upset for Adele when I saw the pictures. They are really private and should not be passed around.”

“I think it is disgusting that her so-called fans were sending them around and I thought it should be stopped. They are way too private, especially the scan and picture of her when she was pregnant.” 

“If Adele wanted to share these pictures I am sure she would,” he added. “It would be up to her if she wants intimate pictures like this shown around.” A source close to the star told The Mirror Adele was ‘angry and upset’ upon hearing of the leak and would have told her management to ‘get on it straight away’.
