Reminds me of Odessa Munroe (Freddy vs Jason opening scene). Odessa had a 2003 double whammy of flashing her breasts in FvJ and Final Destination 2. This is the sort of thing young single women do in their 20s for a paycheck and a chance for exposure, just to get your foot in the door. I imagine the hope is you do some sexually objectifying roles to get into the industry and progress to legitimate acting.
Nowadays she's an ultra conservative podcaster. I don't watch her stuff but from the one or two bits I did check out she even apologized for swearing during a rant and from what I gather is a Christian. It's the complete opposite of what one would expect of someone who agreed to appear nude in films and thus allow literal millions of people see them topless.
I'd guess Julianna is something similar. She was young and quite carefree, trying to get into the industry but now that she's older and is married (maybe even a mother?) she likes to pretend she didn't do nude scenes in 'trashy films'. Probably looks back on it as a silly mistake she made whilst younger.
A lot of people do things in their teens and young adulthood which they later regret, only for actresses like this they're in the public eye and film is forever.
We are shaped partly by our decisions. I do reckon in Odessa's case the fact she did those roles carries some guilt and regret and that helped push her into conservatism and religion, whilst it could explain why Julianna is 'feminist' as you say.
