Trolls target Watson after UN equality speech

Internet trolls on the site which hosted naked celebrity photos have made what appears to be a threat to film star Emma Watson just hours after she addressed the UN on gender equality.

A web page entitled Emma You Are Next, featuring an image of the Harry Potter star next to a countdown, appeared to have been created by a user of image-sharing website 4chan, on which lewd photos of celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton were posted last month.

It came hours after Watson, 24, a goodwill ambassador for UN Women, launched the HeForShe campaign in a speech at the world body in which she appealed to men to speak out for equality.
