The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco Sweeting used her latest nude photo scandal to clear up a handful of rumors in an email to family members and friends.

The actress was among the celebrities whose private phone files were hacked this summer (14) and private shots of her naked were published online.

But rather than get upset about the privacy invasion, the fun-loving actress decided to "get even" with the hacker and posted a series of pixellated beach shots online, pretending she was often nude or topless.

Cuoco Sweeting, who is married to tennis ace Ryan Sweeting, admits she was shocked when she first discovered the nude shots of her online were real, and chose to address the scandal in an email to her loved ones.

She explains, "I said, 'Just so you know, this happened... PS, I'm not pregnant; PSS, I'm not getting a divorce'. I was able to get everything out in an email, which was great. It was really bad situation."
