Iggy deleted all her social media accounts on Monday, just hours after unpublished 'outtakes' from a 2016 GQ magazine photo shoot were circulated online.
The leaked images, which were taken by photographer Nino Muñoz, show Iggy posing with her breasts exposed in nothing but a pair of white pajama shorts.
Outraged: Iggy addressed the leak on Twitter on Monday before deleting her account
Iggy addressed the leak on Twitter on Monday before deleting her account.
She wrote: 'A lot of high profile women have shot covers for GQ with a strategically placed hand, etc., covering their breasts etc. I always felt they were very beautiful covers, so I jumped at the opportunity.
'I hadn't seen other women's covers leak so I felt comfortable (on a closed set) to model for such a reputable magazine knowing only the images with my hands covering [my breasts] would be considered for print.'
Iggy added that she 'never consented' to having her topless photos released, explaining that 'it was my understanding... GQ do not print topless pictures.'
Full statement: Iggy claimed that she 'never consented' to having her topless photos released, as they were only intended for her plastic surgeon's private viewing
She continued: 'There was no reason for anyone to have kept the outtakes from the shoot. I'm surprised and angry that they were not immediately deleted after the final images were selected.
'Today I am a ball of negative emotions. I feel blindsided, embarrassed, violated, angry, sad, and a million other things. Not solely because I did not consent to this – but also because of the vile way people have reacted.'
She went on to criticise trolls for making vulgar comments in response to the topless photo leak, saying that reading them made her feel physically ill.
Deleted: Iggy concluded her statement by saying she planned to take a break from social media to escape the negativity

Meanwhile, photographer Nino Muñoz issued his own statement via Instagram on Tuesday morning, writing: 'My heart goes out to anyone this situation has affected. I'm utterly outraged and will not rest until justice is served.'
'I'm outraged and saddened to find out that images of mine were stolen and published without my permission. There is currently an investigation underway. Posting these stolen images is illegal and anyone who has done so will be prosecuted.'
'I empathise with any discomfort that this situation has caused to anyone that is involved,' he concluded.
Censored images from Iggy's 2016 photo shoot are still available on GQ's website, along with a story explaining how the topless photos were not intended for publication but were a 'birthday gift' for her plastic surgeon Dr Ashkan Ghavami.
Dr Ghavami had performed Iggy's breast augmentation a year before the photos were taken, and the musician has praised his work in the past.
GQ Australia editor Michael Christensen added: 'We were very disappointed to learn that outtakes from a 2016 photo shoot which were not approved or intended for publication appear to have been stolen from the photographer.
'We understand an investigation is underway and join the condemnation of the publication of these images.'
