Scarlett Johansson has broken her silence about the nude photos of her that hit several websites earlier this month, saying that she feels like a target because of her fame.

In an interview with CNN, the actress insisted that celebrities are no different than anyone else when it comes to the right of privacy, but added that, more often than not — as the scandal surrounding her photos proves — that just isn't the case.

"Just because you're an actor or make films or whatever doesn't mean you're not entitled to your own personal privacy," she said. "If that is sieged in some way, it feels unjust. It feels wrong."

The actress was interviewed in Nairobi, Kenya, where she was traveling to see firsthand the effect drought and famine have had in the area.

In the hours after photos of the actress first hit the Net, Johansson's lawyer sent cease-and-desist orders to websites that ran the pics, alleging they were hacked from her phone and therefore represented "stolen copyright-protected private photographs."

The lawyer's statement continued, "The highly personal and private photographs at issue capture our client self-posing in her own home in a state of undress and/or topless. If you fail to comply, you will be acting at your own peril. Please govern yourselves accordingly."

Johansson reportedly also was working with the FBI to investigate who hacked her phone and leaked her photos. Fox News reported that the actress was actually interviewed by the FBI months ago in connection with an investigation into a hacking ring that also hit several other "high-profile individuals."

And to that end, Johansson told CNN that, though she struggles with life in the spotlight, she's determined to maintain her privacy.

"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.
