Perhaps in an effort to ramp up some high-profile lawsuits in 2018, mesh-obsessed underwear label Andrew Christian underwear label sent out an email blast on Wednesday with a particularly qustionable advertising strategy:
It features preview images of those nude Tom Daley pics that leaked this month, and promises the uncensored images on its website.
This is disgusting. You don't use someone's leaked nudes as a marketing tool. Never again will I purchase from a company that undermines someone's privacy in such a way. The gay community should be better than that. https://t.co/1i0U8TcjgH

That page has since been taken down (we’re imagining at the behest of lawyers.)
Classy as ever, Andrew Christian included Tom Daley’s leaked nudes in their ad email blast. pic.twitter.com/GndMtERmUW

As we reported earlier this week, Tom Daley is allegedly in utter “distress” about those selfies.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Twitter users are understandably displeased, with one calling the Andrew Christian email “the lowest point of 2018 so far.”
I’ll probably get slandered, but Andrew Christian emailing their entire database with Tom Daley’s nudes has got to be the lowest point of 2018 so far. #boycott #tomdaley pic.twitter.com/3IKXCc4GE1

I can’t say I’m really surprised.
Andrew Christian’s marketing strategies have always been sexualized viral marketing. If someone there thought that photos of Tom Daley would get you to click through to the website and maybe buy a pair of overpriced, poorly-constructed underwear I’m sure no one gave it a second thought.
Personally I stopped supporting the brand ages ago; having read far too many complaints about worker compensation and sexual harassment.

Andrew Christian goes to my gym. Lets just say a man over 50 shouldn’t be wearing neon colored spandex tank tops (like anyone should) while sporting man make up or whatever they call it.
I’ve always just assumed sexual harassment was part of the deal if you went to work for him.

like Timothy answered I am amazed that someone able to make $7869 in four weeks on the
computer . find out here…

Showing his bum so what. Show him pounding Lances bum and then you can call it “ultra revealing”.
Donston
The point is a supposed respectable business using leaked celeb photos to promote themselves is exploitative and desperate.

Daley should never have gotten mixed up with that crowd, including his dubious husband.
Rex Huskey
its all about the $$$$$
Donston
I don’t think Daley got with him for money. Tom could have gotten someone much richer. Dustin’s not much or any richer than Tom. But I do think Dustin’s confidence and success probably turned him on. Also, his daddy issues were likely triggered and indulged in this match up. I think they’re both somewhat screwed up, narcissistic people that fell for each other and rushed into a serious situation almost out of the ego boost of being with someone else famous.
Vince
Yeah, Tom Daley’s net worth is 4 million while Lance black is 7 million. Yes. They’re both good for each other in the sense that they’re both extremely narcissistic like many other Hollywood couples. More of a business relationship really.
DarkZephyr
OR…maybe they’re in love?
Donston
They may be, probably is to whatever extent. Doesn’t really disprove the rest of it however.

F them all. pose in those kinda pictures, either private or public and EXPECT to be exposed. Tired of all this wah wah
dean089
Exactly! And, seriously, it’s his bare ass. Ooooh. Unless you’re the proverbial little old lady who only leaves the house to go to church, a picture of someone’s bare ass should not have anyone reaching for the smelling salts. “Those pictures.” Pu-leeze!
JungleBoi
You’re right – for public or commercial photos but regarding pics you take in private you could not be more wrong. F that
Donston
I agree that when you take these pics or videos, knowing you’re famous, and send them through the internet you’re taking a risk. And many of these people get off on that risk-taking, though they won’t admit it. However, I don’t agree that it’s perfectly fine to put naked images of people out there without their permission. And as I mentioned before, the problem here is that this is supposed to be a professional, reputable business. Yet, they’re using leaked celeb photos to promote themselves like they’re some basic porn site.

The pics were as dull as could be…. leaked what.. a pic of him in bed wrapped up in sheets and a second that showed an ass in the air from the over the shoulder view not a gaping hole…
Hype promoted by Daley himself.
