Vanessa Hudgens: Nude Photos Meant to Be Private

We’ve talked about them at length, but until now, the singer / actress herself has been relatively silent. As the pic the web, controversy swirled and many speculated that the High School Musical actress would be axed by Disney.

Fortunately, much like Zac Efron in bed (or so we’ve heard), reports of Vanessa Hudgens not returning for the next installment of High School Musical came too quickly. Vanessa talks about all this and more in Seventeen magazine…

Seventeen: How are you feeling about the nude pics, the whole scandal?

Vanessa Hudgens: I’m much better now. But truthfully I don’t like talking about it. It was something that was meant to be private, and even though it isn’t anymore, I’d still like to keep it as private as I can. It was very traumatic, and I am extremely upset it happened. I hope all my fans can learn from my mistake and make smart decisions. But I wouldn’t have been able to get through it if it wasn’t for my family, friends, and fans, who supported me all along the way.

The Vanessa Hudgens nude photo scandal shocked everyone - Hudgens included.

Seventeen: Who told you the naked photo had been leaked?

Vanessa Hudgens: I found out from my manager. We heard some story was going to break in the tabloids, and I was like, What?!? A few days later, the picture came out while I was on vacation in Australia. Thank God, I wasn’t home… it would have sucked if I was at home. But when I came back, it got kind of crazy.

Seventeen: How did you explain the situation to your mom?

Vanessa Hudgens: I was just open with her, and she was just so cute. She was like, “Well, everyone can be naked if they want to!” My parents are very supportive. They know I’m a teenager, and yes, kids do stupid things sometimes.
