Scarlett Johansson: Nude Photos Were Meant For Ryan Reynolds

Scarlett Johansson Nude Scandal

First Posted: 11/01/11 01:20 PM ET Updated: 11/01/11 01:38 PM ET

Scarlett Johansson found herself in the middle of a nude photo scandal back in September, but if you think the unfortunate situation brought her down, think again.

Johansson opened up to Vanity Fair in their December cover story about the origin of those now-infamous photos -- and whose eyes they were meant for in the first place.

"They were sent to my husband,” Johansson said, meaning her now ex-husband Ryan Reynolds. “There's nothing wrong with that."

The actress also says she has no shame about sending the racy pics, especially when they were only meant for Reynolds.

"It's not like I was shooting a porno," she said, adding, "Although there's nothing wrong with that either.”

While Johansson's nude photos got a lot of buzz when they hit the net, she wasn't the only celebrity to fall victim to the email hacker.

Actress Mila Kunis' private photos were also made public in September, and singer Christina Aguilera had dozens photos released online at the end of 2010.

But last month, thanks to the FBI's involvement, their nightmare came to an end. Christopher Chaney, 35, of Jacksonville, Fla., was arrested for hacking into more than 50 people's email accounts, including those belonging to Johansson, Kunis and Aguilera.

Chaney was charged with 26 counts of identity theft and unauthorized access to a protected computer, as well as wiretapping. If convicted, the hacker could be locked up for over 120 years.

And just as Johasson's nude scandal comes to a close, a new one starts for Taylor Swift. The singer and her legal team are threatening legal action against a website that recently posted photos of what it claims to be a topless Swift.

If Johansson can get past a nude scandal, we think Swift can too.

For more from Johansson's interview, head over to Vanity Fair.

Why do you have to take a naked picture of yourself in the first place?

I think the pictures were great and I think the fact she did them for her husband is great, it shows she has a playful side. After all human come as either male of female. And yet we act like we have found some new parts, each time one of these often photographed people post their picture with out clothes.

Taylor Swift topless?? lolol Who'd be interested in that piece of Swiss cheese? She is like the lanky. awkward scarecrow. Paleese.... That aside, it's pretty darn scary that people can hack into personal emails that easily. No one is safe on the internet. Maybe that's something we all need to pay closer attention to. The government is probably hacking into everyone's every day!

nah, Love, im just comfortable in my own sexuality to know wen a woman is beautiful/sexy/attractive--etc :)
also, i REALLY ( 4 a lingerie model, if you can believe it...) am insecure about my looks, my face, my hair, my body ( who ISNT insecure about a thing or 2 aqbout themselves? is natural! :) ) ...andi appreciate the beauty of a gorgeous girl :) like, if i think a girl is hot, if i AM attracted to her, then i just want to be in the same room with her..(.preferably naked ;) ) but..2.. just...BE AROUND her, not stuff my face in between her legs/motorboat her ta tas' NOT that theres anything wrong w that ;) , but i just like to be around pretty girls.... sometimes i feel like im not 'pretty enuf' to hangout w them! is never happened, BUT, if THATS the case,THOSE GIRLS who do not deem me 'hot enuf' or watever, then THEY are the (WORST kind of ) insecure, obsessive, and JEALOUS! i ADORE men, but girls are sexy, i just dont want to make love to a woman...i dont think id know where to even START! wait, i dont have the eqwipment! ;)
have a great nite, Love :)

Why can't we just see the boobies and the "V" on here??

I don't see the big deal, people are nude all the time, everyone has a body .. things are much different in Europe .. even at Progressive Huff Po you're too Puritan about this stuff.

Because she isn't tasteless...like you. That's why. Why don't you let your privates hang out and let everyone see them?? Good gracious...such a typically sophomoric comment from a typically male chauvinist child. ugh

Be honest Scarlett they were for me... They were for all of us.. Using your bust and your excedingly nice_tush to give yourself a career boost! It's ok! Honestly it is! It worked didn't it?

Can't believe that Sean Penn tapped that.

That's a pipe dream. I cannot believe she would go to that trash. If it's true...I've lost a lot of respect for Scarlett. I still think that was a publicity thing. He's disgusting...in every way.
