Scarlett Johansson on leaked photos: 'It feels unjust'

Scarlett Johansson for Vogue in 2009

Scarlett Johansson has broken her silence about her leaked photos that went viral on the web recently and became an inspiration of a daring internet craze.

In her recent interview with CNN, "The Horse Whisperer" star defended her privacy and said she find the leakage unjust and wrong.

"Who doesn't want to protect their own privacy? Just because you're in the spotlight, or just because you're an actor or make films or whatever doesn't mean you're not entitled to your own personal privacy," Johansson told CNN.

"If that is sieged in some way, it feels unjust. It feels wrong."

Prior to the CNN interview, the 26-year-old actress had also been asked about how she deals with the controversy.

"It's an adjustment, but there are certain instances where you give a lot of yourself and then finally you just have to kind of put your foot down and say, ‘No, wait, I'm taking it back,’" she said.

Scarlet Johansson's leaked photos made their way online last month and showed her in a state of undress in a home setting. One of the two photos shows her unclothed rear view clearly visible in a mirror, while the other photo exposes her breast while lying with no clothes on a bed.

She had asked the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, claiming her phones and computers were hacked.
