What Is Scarlett Johansson’s Nude Scandal About?
In 2011, Scarlett Johansson had found herself in a spot after a hacker released multiple nude images of the actress that created quite a stir among fans and the industry. Though the accused was caught and jailed after a thorough investigation, Johansson had to sit through multiple interviews discussing the circumstances under which these pictures were taken.
This had happened shortly after her separation from Reynolds, who she was married to for two years. While speaking to Vanity Fair as their cover girl, Johansson revealed that the images were meant to be for her then husband Ryan Reynolds.
“I know my best angles,” she had said jokingly, before adding, “Those are old, from three years ago. They were sent to my husband. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not like I was shooting a porno—although there’s nothing wrong with that either.”
In another interview with CNN, she had expressed her disappointment over such breach of privacy and said, “Just because you’re an actor… doesn’t mean you’re not entitled to your own personal privacy. If that [privacy] is sieged in some way, it feels unjust. It feels wrong.”

Neither Scarlett Johansson nor Ryan Reynolds ever actually spoke about what led to their divorce. But Johansson gave a few cryptic comments on how dating an actor isn’t exactly the easiest thing in the world, leading fans to believe that it might be the reason why they fell apart.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan, the actress had said, “The logistics of being with another actor are challenging. There has to be a real understanding of how you share your time, especially when two people’s careers are going at the same rate. Or even if one person is more successful than the other, that also proves challenging. There may be a competitive thing.”
In another interview, she reflected on how she was young when she married Reynolds and had romanticized the relationship. Speaking to Vanity Fair, she said, “I mean, the first time I got married I was 23 years old. I didn’t really have an understanding of marriage. Maybe I kind of romanticized it, I think, in a way.”
Both the actors are in significantly better places now. Reynolds is in a happy marriage with Blake Lively with whom he shares four kids. As for Scarlett, she has also been happily married to Colin Jost.
