To save herself from the public humiliation, the Hollywood star stressed she was taking her power back by releasing the photos herself, having shared her full conversation with the unidentified individual on Twitter.

She added: "For too long I let a man take advantage of me over and over and I'm f***ing sick of it.

The 63-year-old Sister Act star hit back and insisted Bella should have known to just not "take nude pictures of yourself" as a celebrity.
Clearly hurt by Whoopi's reaction, she wrote: "Ur view on this matter is honestly awful and I hope u change ur mind set as u are on a show talking to young girls."
