On Thursday, during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Kaley Cuoco opened up about how she found out she was one of the many celebrities that fell victim to the massive nude photo leak that occurred on Labor Day Weekend, The New York Daily News reports.

Cuoco described the invasion of her privacy as "disturbing" and explained that she found out about the hack through Google alerts.

"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 told Jimmy Kimmel. "So every day, every day there's like 30 'Kaley Cuoco nude photos' [alerts]. It's been going on for years."

Cuoco then went on to admit that she did not believe her photos were a part of the recent celebrity nude photo leak until she received emails confirming that she had been hacked.

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

On receiving confirmation that she'd been hacked, Cuoco then took initiative to send an email to her family members to address the scandal and rumors surrounding her personal life.

"I sent an email out to my family, I said just so you know, this happened," she said. "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, which was great. It was a really bad situation, but I took it into my own hands and made a joke about it, because what are you gonna do?"

The "Big Bang Theory" actress also addressed her decision to poke fun of herself by posting a fake nude photo of herself and her husband on Instagram a few days after the leak.

"My favorite app is called nudify, and it is hilarious, and you can blur stuff out. I was actually shooting a scene for 'Big Bang,' and I was with all the guys, and it was the day after this whole nude leak happened," she said. "We were shooting in between takes, and they're helping me pick out the picture and what I should nudify so I could, like, get 'em back. You gotta make fun of herself."
