She has certainly had a busy time of late hanging out with her ex-husband, making an appearance at Milan Fashion Week and speaking out about those nude photos.
But last night Scarlett Johannson put her hectic schedule to one side, and the naked photos drama behind her, to support Mayoral candidate Scott Stringer last night.
Scarlett, 38, looked suitably sophisticated for the evening in her monochrome ensemble which boasted a high-waisted skirt, a silk blouse and black piping.

The actress was hosting a $2,500 a head cocktail party at The Plaza Hotel to support Stringer at the campaign fundraiser.

It was a busy night for the Avengers star who moved onto a second event held at The Jane Hotel to raise as much money for Stringer, who is currently the Mahattan Borough President.

She added: ‘When Scott is elected mayor, [we] can expect a representative who is focused on making New York a cleaner, greener city, providing affordable housing and preserving the integrity of our varied communities.’

The former couple, whose divorce was finalised this summer were said to be on good terms as they enjoyed the concert together.
Speaking out: Last week Scarlett, who attended a concert with her ex-husband Ryan Reynolds, spoke out about naked photos of herself appearing on the internet in an interview with CNN
The day before the concert Scarlett had appeared on CNN to talk about nude photos of herself appearing on the internet.
She said: ‘Just because you’re an actor or make films or whatever doesn’t mean you’re not entitled to your own personal privacy,’ she said. ‘If that is sieged in some way, it feels unjust. It feels wrong.’
Since the scandal first emerged, Johansson admitted that she took the naked photographs of herself, which were leaked online after someone hacked into her phone.
The FBI are currently investigating the case.
