The 26-year-old actress became the latest in a list of celebrities to have private pictures posted online at the hands of hackers earlier this month, and said that her fame doesn't give people the right to invade her privacy.
She told CNN, 'Just because you're an actor or make films or whatever doesn't mean you're not entitled to your own personal privacy... if that is sieged in some way, it feels unjust. It feels wrong.'
Her lawyers fired off a round of cease-and-desist letters just hours after the photographs appeared online on September 15. Scarlett said that while she has learned to live with the interest in her personal life, some privacy breaches are too serious to ignore.
'It's an adjustment, but I think there are certain instances where you give a lot of yourself and finally you have to kind of put your foot down and say, 'Oh wait, I'm taking it back',' she said.
