High School Musical star
Vanessa
Hudgens is
finally answering all the questions the world had
about her nude scandal last year. Baby V told the
flirty issue of Seventeen magazine "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. I [actually] 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've 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. [How did I tell my mom?]
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 of me. And
they know I'm a teenager, and yes, kids do stupid
things sometimes. [How did I feel about it being on
the Internet?] It's unfortunate because with the
Internet these days, you don't have a personal life.
Nothing is private: Everyone knows everything, and
they can find out everything about you... you have to
be aware of the people you're around."
Seriously, those pictures did wonders for her career.
