Her rep addressed the alleged hacking incident within an official statement to TMZ.
“Charlotte has once again become a victim of hacking. It is disgusting someone does this and hopefully laws will change to protect people from these cyber attacks.”
In one of the two topless pictures posted Wednesday, the caption read “I’m gonna be so damn hungover tomorrow.”
According to TMZ, the topless pictures were removed from the Instagram account early Thursday morning. McKinney posted a note on Instagram Thursday about the hacking incident. She also apologized to her fans and expressed gratitude for their support.
“To all my followers, I’ve once again become a victim of hacking. It’s disgusting people enjoy doing this to others. Please disregard any message you’ve gotten from me. Thanks for the support xo.”
Charlotte McKinney made headlines earlier this year when she was featured in a Super Bowl commercial for Carl’s Jr, a popular burger restaurant chain. To promote the restaurant’s all-natural, grass-fed beef burger, Charlotte was captured walking through a farmer’s market naked.

In a January interview with Esquire, Charlotte opened up about the experience, including why she was excited about being featured in the iconic commercial.
“I’ve always seen the commercials and thought, ‘Hey, I could do that. That looks fun.’ But it’s such an iconic commercial, with Heidi Klum and Paris Hilton. To me, that was awesome. People talk about it in movies. It was such an honor to get that spot. I wasn’t nervous though. The way I handle tough jobs is to not think about it and try to take it one step at a time. I didn’t even think it was going to be in the Super Bowl. It was just another day at work. That’s what I say to anyone who gets nervous: Just take it as it comes.”
Charlotte McKinney will star in the follow-up sequel to the 2001 David Spade movie, Joe Dirt. The movie, Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser, is scheduled to premiere on July 16 via Crackle.
