Actress Scarlett Johansson has addressed her recent nude photo scandal in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine Tuesday, saying there was nothing wrong with her taking the pictures because they were for her former husband, Ryan Reynolds.
“I know my best angles,” Johansson said. “They were sent to my husband,” referring to Reynolds.
“There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not like I was shooting a porno. Although there’s nothing wrong with that either.”
Johansson fell victim to the leaked nude photos in September after a hacker infiltrated her private email account. The photos show the 26-year-old actress in a towel with an exposed backside, while another shows her topless. They were posted on several celebrity gossip Web sites.
The hacker, Christopher Chaney from Florida, was arrested in October and charged with 26 counts of cyber-related crime, including leaking private photos from Johansson and other actresses including Mila Kunis and Vanessa Hudgens.
