Jordynne Grace, one of the top fighters in the WWE Women’s Division, went viral for all the wrong reasons this week.

Following a data breach, explicit photos and videos of the WWE star were shared online without her consent.

Grace, who cut her teeth in TNA, formerly had an OnlyFans account but deactivated it before signing with WWE in January 2025.

However, the explicit images shared illegally online were not from her OnlyFans gallery, according to the SmackDown star. Instead, the private images were leaked by hackers.

“None of that stuff is from my OF! Only ever bikini/lingerie there. Other stuff is AI and some from an old Snapchat account that was hacked and meant for my husband, unfortunately,” Grace said on X.

WWE Will Not Suspend Jordynne Grace For Leak

In the wake of the viral leak, WWE will not penalize Jordynne Grace.

While WWE is known to frown upon their stars engaging in explicit content, the viral leak was not something Grace promoted willingly.

Triple H and TKO have not addressed the issue and there has been no official word of a suspension for Grace.

On Friday, May 8, the official WWE YouTube page posted a full-length match between Grace and Lash Legend, seemingly suggesting that the former is in good standing with the company.

Jordynne Grace is Not the Only WWE Hacking Victim

Unfortunately, Jordynne Grace is not the only WWE star to fall victim to hacking.

Paige, a former Divas Champion, had lewd images and videos shared online without her consent. The scandal resulted in a lengthy WWE absence and personal anguish for the wrestler.

“I made a big mistake. Huge. I put trust in the hands of someone that took advantage of a young girl years ago,” Paige wrote. “It was my mistake and I’ll always take responsibility. ”

“The one thing that was the hardest was thinking ‘my husband is gonna leave me.’ ‘My family will disown me.’ But I’m blessed beyond words to have a family and a husband who stuck by me because they know who I am,” wrote Paige. “They know I’m not a bad person. They held my hands through hell.”

Following a four-year hiatus, Paige returned to WWE at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.

Illegally Sharing Images Carries a Hefty Cost

Regardless of how this leak came about, celebrities and WWE stars deserve to keep their out-of-ring lives private.

Breaching private data could result in a lengthy jail sentence for hackers.

NBC News reported on Christopher Chaney’s 2012 sentencing after he was found guilty of stealing and disseminating the private photos of multiple celebrities. U.S. District Judge S. James Otero determined that the prosecution’s six-year sentence was insufficient and sentenced him to ten years in prison.

Furthermore, publishing someone else’s private images without consent can be illegal. Even if the person sharing them didn’t commit a crime to obtain them. In 2025, the Take it Down Act was passed, which makes it a federal crime to “knowingly publish” an “intimate visual depiction” or a “digital forgery” of an “identifiable individual” in certain circumstances.

Congress’ website details what has to be proven for someone to be found guilty of that crime.
