"The photos in question, which appear to be of our client, are illegal and are being unlawfully displayed," Greene's lawyer said in a statement.

"Our client intends to take legal action."

Greene, 22, appeared Sunday at the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles, California, where she picked up the Choice Fresh Face Female award.

In total, "Twilight" netted 11 trophies at the awards show.

The actress is the latest starlet involved in a nude photo scandal. Recently, Leighton Meester denied the existence of a long-rumored sex tape.
