“Big Bang Theory” star Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting was horrified to find out nude photos of her were shared online back in August. She described the moment she discovered her most intimate snapshots had become public to Jimmy Kimmel.

"I totally have Google alerts that come to my phone...so, every day there's like 30 'Kaley Cuoco nude photos,' [but] it's been going on for years. It's all these fake ones," she dished. "So then, this one came up, and I was like, 'Oh, it's another fake one...'"

Only it wasn’t fake.

The leaked photos were very real, and the actress realized she had to notify her family of the leak right away.

“So I sent an email out to my family. I said ‘just so you know, this happened, blah, blah, blah, blah. P.S. I’m not pregnant. P.S.S. I’m not getting a divorce.’ I was able to get everything out in the email,” she joked.

Then, the “Big Bang” starlet got more serious, recalling, "It was just a really bad situation," she said. "But, I took it in my own hands and made a joke about it because, you know, what are you gonna do?"

Cuoco posted a fake pixilated photo online to joke about the leak. She said her “Big Bang Theory” cast mates helped her select which photo to post.
