Vanessa Hudgens Talks Nude Photo Scandal

Looking as cute as ever in a stylishly patterned dress, Vanessa Hudgens was spotted out to the studio in Santa Monica on Wednesday (January 2).

The High School Musical hottie recently opened up in an interview with Seventeen, talking about her rebound from a nude photo scandal that made waves on the Internet in Spetember of 2007.

"I’m much better now,” the 19-year-old said, adding, “But truthfully I don’t like talking about it.”

Speaking of the backlash caused by the private photos, Vanessa says, “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.”

Meanwhile, when asked how she found out that her nude self was popping up on computer monitors around the world, the Disney star tells: “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. So I got to be away from L.A. for about a millisecond. But when I came back, it got kind of crazy.”

Continuing on to what could’ve been the toughest part, Hudgens told of how she broke the news to her mom, saying, “I was just open with her, and she was just so cute. She was like, ‘Well, everyone can be naked if they want to.’ “
