"It’s unimaginably mortifying."
Narinder Kaur thanked people for their support as police probe an ‘upskirt photo’ of her that was shared online by Laurence Fox.
The controversial actor-turned-politician appeared to criticise Ms Kaur for her alleged opinions on former glamour model Leilani Dowding.
Fox tweeted: “I for one applaud the celebration of modesty which Narinder highlighted in her criticism of @LeilaniDowding for getting her b**s out.
“We need standards in public life.”
Alongside the caption was a compromising paparazzi photo of Ms Kaur in the back of a vehicle.
The photo, taken by a paparazzi photographer, showed her without any underwear on.
The picture was taken without Ms Kaur’s knowledge or consent when it was sent to picture sites by the paparazzi.
Believed to have been taken in the 2000s, the image was removed from online platforms following the ban on upskirting images.
The criminal offence of ‘upskirting’ was created under the Voyeurism Act and came into force on April 12, 2019.
Police and prosecutors have now updated their guidance to ensure the law is properly enforced – with offenders facing up to two years in jail and being placed on the sex offenders register.
Laurence Fox was heavily criticised, with many accusing him of revenge porn.
However, he did not back down on his decision to share the explicit picture.
Ms Kaur is seeking legal advice and later confirmed it was a “police matter”.
Fox’s tweet was later deleted.
Taking to X, Narinder Kaur addressed the matter:
“I know people are saying not to feel embarrassed and mortified but I am.
“I’m so incredibly upset that people are looking at my privates and laughing. It’s unimaginably mortifying.”
In a separate tweet, Ms Kaur issued a heartfelt message to her followers for the support she has received, adding that it has driven her to “pick myself back up” following the incident.
She tweeted:
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone supporting me and trying to make me feel better.”
“It’s actually making me cry.
“Thank you to all you lovely people, you will never know how much you are helping me pick myself back up.”
Meanwhile, a Met Police spokesperson said:
“We have been made aware of a post on social media regarding an upskirting offence and we are currently investigating the circumstances.”
