Despite ending their 7 year on-and-off again relationship in 2015, a home video of former Pussycat Dolls frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger and race car driver boyfriend Lewis Hamilton surfaced online last month.

The leaked two-and-a-half minute clip may not contain nudity, but it does show the two engaged in an “intimate embrace.”  Viewed over 600,000 times since its first appearance on the net, as of time reported it remains unclear how the visual made its way to the Web.  What is clear, however, is the 40-year-old songstress is not pleased with the hackers who committed the act.

Click inside to read how she’s responded to the hoopla of the leak:

“It’s been horrible,” the singer admitted to The Sun at Elton John’s recent Oscars party in L.A. “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.”

Ahead of the quote above an interviewed source close to the singer said both Scherzinger and Lewis were “horrified at the breach, and want to get to the bottom of it. They want to know how the hell it got leaked.”

“It’s been mortifying for Nicole, and she feels really violated,” the source added, according to The Sun. “She wants to keep a low profile for now, keep her head down and just plough on with work. She just wants to get on with her life, and forget this ever happened.”
