Scarlett Johansson has used a recent interview to discuss the intricacies of being the victim of a nude photo hack, saying her 2011 invasion of privacy “was so devastating.”
In a wide-reaching interview on The Howard Stern Show, the actress recalled how discovering a series of candid images intended for then-husband Ryan Reynolds had been leaked online was “absolutely shocking and devastating at the time.”
The actress said “it was such an invasion.”
“I just felt like as a woman, I felt like it’s such a degrading and awful thing to have to go through that.”
Christopher Chaney, a 35-year-old from Florida, was eventually sentenced to ten years imprisonment for hacking the accounts of Johansson several other women.
“It feels particularly invasive when you are in the public eye and you’re like, ‘What else can I give you?’”
“It’s a low-level hacking thing – we’re not talking about the dark web here.”
