Adrienne Bailon of The Cheetah Girls has been the subject of a bizarre extortion plot involving nude pictures taken from a stolen laptop.

TMZ first broke the story Saturday, detailing how Adrienne Bailon’s laptop was stolen at JFK airport in late October. Later that day her record label received an anonymous phone call from a man saying he had her laptop and would return it for $1000. The payment was made, and the laptop returned, but missing were several nude pics Bailon had taken as an anniversary present for Robert Kardashian.

Now some of the photos have turned up online. One cropped shot above, but we won’t publish the other picture or the full shot of the pic above. If you must you can view them here. As per the watermarks on the pic, the source is MediaTakeout.com.

Update: Adrienne Bailon has issued the following statement to her fans:

“The photos that have surfaced of Adrienne Bailon were stolen from her laptop over a week ago at an airport in NY and sent to several media organizations. These photos were taken in private and were intended only for Adrienne’s boyfriend, Robert Kardashian. Adrienne will be pursuing legal action against the person or person’s sending these private photos out.”

“Adrienne is deeply sorry for any pain this may have caused to her fans.”
