— -- A few weeks ago, Kaley Cuoco was among the celebrities who had nude photos of herself leaked on the Internet.

The "Big Bang Theory" actress called the breach of privacy "disturbing."

"I totally have Google alerts that come to my phone so anything that my name pops up [in] comes to my phone because I'm, like, obsessed. I need to know what's going on," she said during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." "So every day, every day there's like 30 'Kaley Cuoco nude photos' [alerts]. It's been going on for years."

"So then this one came up and I was like, 'Oh, it's another fake one,'" she continued. "Then I started getting emails like, 'No, there are some real ones going around.'"

Cuoco, 28, took initiative to send an email to her family, explaining what was happening and adding that she wasn't pregnant or getting divorced. Then she made a joke of it, posting funny photo of herself on Instagram.

"It was just a really bad situation but I took it in my own hands and make a joke about it because what are you gonna do?" she said. "You gotta make fun of yourself."
