Scarlett Johansson in a scandal again
NEW YORK: Scarlett Johansson feels violeted about the leak of her nude pictures. She relates it to her phone hacking scandal that rocked the British media last year.
The nude photos of 27-year-old actress taken by her were on the internet were hacked by a hacker last year, who broke into her personal email account.
“It was really terrible; I felt absolutely violated. I wasn’t really aware of how vulnerable all of us are, but I think everybody is just discovering that now, especially with the recent phone-hacking scandals,” the Daily Mail quoted her as telling Stylist magazine.
It isn’t just celebrities; it’s all kinds of people who are not asking for the spotlight. Being hacked made me feel more vulnerable than Iever had previously. I couldn’t figure it out.
“For a while, I thought it must be someone that I knew who was posting these pictures of me and that was making me incredibly paranoid.
I was looking around at all of my friends, who I have known for 20 years, wondering who the backstabber was. So to find out it wasn’t a friend who hacked in was a relief, oddly,” she said.
Christopher Chaney, 35, of Jacksonville, Florida, was arrested and charged with hacking her account.
