Cover Story: An emerging body of research focuses on societal judgments regarding image-based sexual harassment and abuse (IBSHA), particularly the non-consensual sharing of intimate images (NCSII) and the unsolicited sharing of intimate images (USII). This study examines the impact of celebrity status on perceptions of these behaviors, as recent high-profile cases have amplified public interest. Three studies reveal that, while NCSII is viewed as more criminal and harmful than USII, victims of both types of harassment receive significant blame. Interestingly, celebrity status did not further influence judgments. Dark personality traits correlated with negative judgments of IBSHA across studies, and psychopathy was linked specifically to NCSII engagement. These findings highlight the need for enhanced education on IBSHA and further legislative efforts. View this paper
