‘High School Musical’ fans, this one’s for you.
It’s a statement just issued by Vanessa Hudgens regarding the Web-hot nude photo of her: “I want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me. I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends.”
As for the report yesterday from Us Weekly suggesting that Vanessa got the boot from Disney, it simply ain’t true. Reps for the family-friendly channel denied reports today that Vanessa will be dropped from the upcoming feature film ‘High School Musical 3.’ That movie is in development and negotiations with the stars are still underway. Beyond, that Disney has had no comment. Several Hollywood publicity veterans say Disney should stand by the ‘HSM’ sweetheart - who was wise to quickly own up to the photo - and let this all blow over.

People should start a petition against Disney. They are fucking lunatics. Seriously.Who the fuck died and made them boss of every aspect of Vanessa’s life? Everyone is so sexually open in this country, unless they actually see a naked person and then they are whores and sluts. Let the girl enjoy her youth for Christ’s sakes, why should she be shamed and guilted for taking a picture of her body. What a screwed up society.
Nothing was mentioned on any of the entertainment shows…. Hmmm…. did Disney pull some strings to make the story disappear?
i don’t know… would this have been as much of a big deal if she wasn’t a disney star and if she didn’t make her ‘good girl’ statement?
she owned up to it and apologized. at least she is not doing drugs. i hope this situation doesn’t drive her to do drugs. lol.
Some companies have Moral Clauses in their contracts. I’m sure Disney has one. Look at their business model: they market family and kids. How does it look for them as a company when one of their “employees”: at-will or other, does something like this? It could potentially hurt their business. That’s where Disney is the boss of her life. She could potential damage their marketing because of this.
So right now they’re saying it’s all good, but I have a feeling once the shareholders put their heads together and think about the potential fall out, they’ll quietly drop her.
Disney is in a tough position. Moral Clause vs. Vaness Makes Us A Shitload of Money
Who was taking the pictures of her….was it gay Zack Eforon
Who is the one releasing these pics onto the internet?
That pic is so creepy. She looks so freakin’ young in it.
^ that’s because she IS young - how many of you would want your 18 year old daughter doing what she’s doing? If she were your daughter, I doubt you’d be so calm and supportive of her sexuality (besides, if she’s doing this in front of the camera - god only knows what she’s doing behind the camera). Seriously, why does an 18 year old need to pose nude in FRONT OF A DAMN CAMERA. It’s one thing to be sexually active, it’s another to feel the need to put your cutchie in front of the camera. And, honestly, if you feel the need to do that then expect it to haunt your stupid ass if you decide to become a celebrity. Why can’t these stupid sluts excercise better JUDGEMENT (believe it or not, you can be sexually active, even promiscuous and not get “caughter out there” with your business in the streets). Stupid slag.
No these were pictures of her when she was a little YOUNGER.. and she was supposedly a total SLUT in highschool. sending her (many) bf’s nude pictures!!! isn’t that out rages.. SLUTTY SLUTTY
Again, where are the parents? This isn’t normal teenage behavior if your parents are involved in your life, making sure you stay out of precarious situations. This girl was very young when these pictures were taken. She is still young. 18 is not 40. I love how some people think she’s just expressing her sexuality (whatever the hell that means), when the reality is that she’s got some serious issues if she thinks a way to impress a guy is by exposing herself. I find this story to be very disturbing and sad. If this is normal behavior for a teenage girl today, then I’m very afraid for the next generation.
get that she is apologizing for these photos b/c I’m sure Disney made her. But honestly she has more on than some photos of celebs at the beach or a club.
who really cares?!?!?!?!??!?!
a photo of lindsey’s in a pretty much the same attire was on the web awhile back so what makes this that different…..she was only, what, 20 at the time.
ok it puts another spin if her naked picture was taken before HSM. yikes, so she was 15 or 16 then?
i’m sooooooo glad i’m not her mother. LOL.
the real tool is whoever leaked the picture. i’d want to kill that person if i were her.
yea…she definitely looks like 16 here. Why should she be held accountable for photos she took 2-3 years ago which happened to circulate the internet because someone had it in for her?
Tiger you must not have seen the full nude pics, yeasterday, so go back and look. This is nothing compared to that. Second she’s 18 she made up her own mind to pose nude like that for someone.
Again, I don’t get the big deal. Of course no one would want their 18 year old kid to pose nude in pics… not even if their daughter were 40. It’s just the nature of parents. That doesn’t change my opinion that this nudity thing has been blown way out of proportion by some people. It’s not much to do with sexuality as much as my taking a laid back approach to nudity in general. I don’t see what’s wrong with taking naked pictures in private– some people like doing that, others are happy to simply stare at their bodies in the mirror. So what? And if she took these pictures for a boyfriend or for herself… well, not everyone stays virginal at 18. I would have a problem if she were flouncing around half naked in mags for the mass public, but this was done in private. It’s jumping the gun to automatically label her a slut for that, imo. Granted, I would agree that it’s stupid for celebrities to do something like this, as there’s quite a long track record for private things becoming public.
Just think….some freaky pedophile is now enjoy her nude photo’s. I would die a little inside if she were my daughter and I knew what perverts were doing with her photo. Stupid bimbo’s! Never take nude pictures and never make a video.
she’s an idiot. and i HIGHLY doubt these were taken when she was 18.
Oh for Chrissakes’. . . “pedophile?” “Pervert?” Someone who looks at a nude photo of an 18 (or almost 18 year old) is not automatically either of those things. Get a grip. That’s being totally hysterical. In other news. . . .has she had a bit trimmed off her schnozz?
hehe arasto did you think up that heading yourself? I keep jumping from camp to camp on this one- on one hand i don’t want to judge her (legally an adult) for her (fairly tame) personal shots. however when i put it in perspective i would never have done this at her age and i would hope my little sister who is 18 also wouldn’t do it for her boyfriend.
I just have three questions:
Why does it feel like kiddie porn to see these photos?
Who took this and then released it to the public? (They need a beat down).
Is her gay boyfriend mad about them?
she’s just a young girl who did a stupid mistake. i hope it blows away quickly too!
She apologised and I feel bad for her actually, she’s an adult, she wanted to make something private for her boyfriend (even if he is a flaming homosexual) which I’m sure plenty of other couples do then some skeeze released these. At least she was upfront with it and didn’t try and sue or get an attitude. So the person who should be embarassed is the piece of shite that stole her pics.
I’m sorry, I had to post again, since when is it wrong if she is sexually active at the legal age? She’s naked with her boyfriend so what does it matter if she took pictures? Why does that mean she is ‘trying to expose herself’? Does that also mean then that she shouldn’t be having sex? And who are you to judge her emotional maturity even when she’s clearly shown herself to be mature and dignified in the way she’s handled the release of the pics and she hasn’t gone around flashing herself all over town, how exactly is she a ’slut’?
I think its a sad day when other women are so angry about a situation like this that they would call other women that kind of thing. If it was her purposefully releasing this (like Paris did) then it would be a different story, but this was a private thing and she has apologised. I just cannot believe you think the fact that she’s nude means she has ’serious issues’.
If anything you’re the one with the problem.
^ Well said, Supersonic :).
First of all, we don’t know when these pics were taken. Plus, we don’t know WHO took the pics either. People here are saying that they were taken by a boyfriend. Is that true?? If it is was it Zak Effron?? Or someone prior to him. I have a hard time believing that private pics between her and Zak would become exposed to the public unless either he or she exposed them. She must have had these taken a while back and the “person” who had them decided to expose them. That being said, I feel that the person who put these pics on the internet is the REAL SCUM BAG. Not her or anyone else. 20 years ago this wouldn’t have happened, without the internet. It’s sad that people can’t respect other people and feel that they need to do something like this. That’s the real shame. As far as Vanessa is concerned, I think it’s a little sad that she would do this at her age, but it’s her life and if that’s who she is then what can we do?? I HIGHLY doubt that she would have taken these recently knowing that Disney would kill her if she did. No one’s private life is sacred anymore so long as the internet is available. I think it’s a reality now.
To those with the 6th grade mentality calling Zak E. “gay”. Do you know that he is 100% for sure??? Or do you just label him that way because he has a slight femininity about him??? Cause if it’s the latter then that’s just immature. Lot’s of guys can seem a little off but are totally heterosexual. So it’s really unfair to judge like that. Plus, if he is then he is, it’s his business not ours. I just don’t get the name calling.
1. zack is gay
2. vanessa isnt a slut just cause of one nude pic
3. yes its humiliating
4. shes never going to do this again
5. but shes still an idiot.
I’m not sure where most of you people have been lately, but have you checked out teens MySpace pics? They are exactly like these and most of them are taken by the girls themselves.
.

I have two teenage daughters and I monitor their MySpaces very carefully and let the girls know if we didn’t think something was appropriate. My wife and I used to check their friends too but now there is a way to keep your pictures private. MySpace does not allow nude pics, so the one naked one would be taken down but it does allow everything else.
Sorry, I hit enter too soon.

What I’m trying to say is this is not unusual behavior for a teen. Its certainly not acceptable, but its not like she’s the only one. Its a crazy trend that keeps getting worse and worse.
It’s a shame I know so much about this stupid story.
*She took the pictures herself with a timer. There’s one picture where you can tell she’s hold the camera.
*Supposedly her ex boyfriend leaked these. Maybe the full frontal one was for Zac (there’s HSM pictures on the wall in that shot), but some of the others were supposedly taken for the ex.
*She was underage in some of those pictures.
*And while I can say that looking at our culture now that this is not unique, but we need to ask ourselves why is it so pervasive for young girls to adapt this kind of kinder-whore/stripper in training attitude? These girls are acting as if their bodies are their only value. No one can tell me (I’m a woman) that this is her embracing her sexuality. This is her buying into the attitude that this is how you act to keep your man. Or this is what you do to show you’re hot.
So yes she may not have leaked them and not trying to profit from this, but the very fact that someone at such a young age does this makes me cringe.
Disney is evil.
And teenage girls are such sluts nowadays.
Society is fucked.
I’m moving to Canada.
And what is with all the candles?
I can kind of see both sides of the story here. It’s very embarassing for Vanessa that these were leaked but she probably should have been a little bit more careful with her personal life, being the role model that she is. I can see why Disney would not really want a teenager who had nude photos of her floating around representing their company and being a role model for their viewers. I don’t think anyone is the bad guy here other than the person who leaked the photos. Just a really unfortunate situation.
According to PEOPLE the stupid whore sent the nude photos (taken a couple of years ago when she was VERY underage) to Drake Bell:
“Following the appearance on the Web of a nude photo of Vanessa Hudgens, a source close to the situation tells PEOPLE that the High School Musical actress once sent risqué photos of herself to Nickelodeon star Drake Bell. Hudgens had emailed photos to the Drake and Josh actor a couple of years ago, before she was famous, the source says.”
I’m sorry, but I would be horribly embarrassed and disgusted with my daughter if she was THIS much of a slut and THIS fucking stupid. She deserves to suffer for her horrible lack of judgement like every other person does when they make a stupid decision. Again, stupid slut.
omg!!! what is your problem??? She took a picture of her self to her boyfriend!! She sendt them wrong… so what?? i think it was realy bad that people gave them out!! what if it was you, think how she feels right now!?! im realy sad for you Vanessa!!! I realy hope you are in HSM3!!!
Love ur #1 norwegain fan!!
^she did NOT send them to her boyfriend dipshit Diina - she didn’t even KNOW Drake Bell at the time. At 15, a girl sending photos of herself naked to someone she does NOT know makes her a whore, a slut AND a dumb bitch. I can see your daughters are going to be going down the same path.
Supernova, tell me one thing, how do you know she didn’t send them to her and WHERE IN THE WORLD do you find the nerve to call Vanessa all those things! You are obviously some paranoid parent worried about the bugs in your backyard. The only reason this went on to the internet is because she’s famous. Fame comes with a downside and it’s sad that this happened to her because she has been and still is a good role model. Girls should still look up to her. She could have said that wasn’t her on that pic but she didn’t, she owned up to her mistake and is willing to work to get her image back. After this girls have more reason than ever to look up to her.
Supernova, do us all a favor and get off her back!
#38, take away the fame that she has and think about a teenaged girl sending these type of photos out. Is that acceptable in your eyes? There’s tons of girls who do the same thing I’m sure and it has bitten them in the ass. It doesn’t it make it any better that they’re not “role models” to some kids for being in some trite musical (I don’t get looking up to anyone just because they’re on TV or famous), it is still questionable behavior IMO.
Also, apparently she hosted some pics on a photosharing site and that’s how people got hold of them. So lesson #1, if you’re going to take them, don’t put them anywhere anyone can find them.
#39, she made a mistake it’s not like you never have! I’m not saying she’s the best role model but she’s better than Britney or Lindsay.
vanessa stinks she strinks like hell the dell she dumb n hump a play girl that’s wad she is as idiot how 2 u spell it i.d.i.o.t
send me some pics to joe1650@hotmail.com and that sucks what happened to
