Scarlett Johansson Wiretapper Christopher Chaney Comes Clean To Florida Station

» 9 comments

Christopher Chaney, the 35 year-old Jacksonville resident who was arrested on Wednesday for hacking into the accounts of Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, and Mila Kunis, has been kind enough to spill his guts to WAWS in Jacksonville, meaning everyone writing about him no longer has to remember to put “allegedly” from in front of his crimes.

The man dubbed “Hackerazzi” by authorities says he had no intention of selling the photos, and viewed the steady stream of celebrity emails as more of an uncensored blog than a money-making opportunity. He apologized for exploiting the “little sliver of privacy” that celebrities have left, and claims he became addicted to the reading of emails. Chaney expressed relief when authorities confiscated his computer over six months ago because, “I didn’t know how to stop doing it myself.”

When asked by WAWS how it all began — who was the Monkey X of his celebrity hacking — he genuinely seemed not to recall:

“Honestly, I don’t even remember how or when it started…or with who it started. It just happened and snowballed.”

    Life isn’t fair.  If you spy on Scarlett Johansson, you go to jail.  If you spy on Sarah Palin, you get a book contract and feted in the liberal press.

    Where are the pictures, Mediaite? How are we supposed to judge this story without the PICS?

    Exactly. Well, except for the “feted in the liberal press” part, given even Olbermann has dumped on that cheapshot artist.

    Also: he had the book contract in advance. McGuinness wrote one sort of ground-breaking book decades ago, and every since has parlayed that into one slime job after another.

    And besides: who really cares if Sarah cuckolded Todd with his partner and threw cans of Beefaroni and boxes of Kettle Chips at the kids rather than actually cook & care for them? How is that of any relevance at all to whether she would have made a dynamite VP-elect before the McCain campaign had her step down before being sworn in?

    Not sure it is spying when you move next door and annouce what your doing.
    Now if you would have said stalking , then you have an arguement
