The tape is believed to have been released by an ex boyfriend and the actress has been forced to obtain a cease and desist order.
Attorney Lisa Bloom said in a statement released via Twitter: "It has been reported that naked or sexually explicit images of Ms. Barton are being 'shopped around'.
"Ms. Barton does not consent to any disclosure of any such images.
"She believes she was recorded without her consent by someone she was seeing at the time.
"There's a name for this disgusting conduct: revenge pornography."
Bloom described the footage as "a form of sexual assault," and "a crime and a civil wrong in California," adding: "We will not stand for it."
