Vanessa Hudgens, the High School Musical star opens up about her naked photos being leaked online last September. In an interview in the February issue of Seventeen magazine, she revealed:

“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.”

Her manager was the person who gave her the news about the leaked nude photos:

“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. It’s very 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.”

When she broke the news to her mom, she said:

“I was just open with her, and she was just so cute. She was like, ‘Well, everyone can be naked if they want to.’ [Laughs] My parents are very supportive of me. And they know I’m a teenager, and yes, kids do stupid things sometimes.”

Vanessa feels lucky to have the support from her boyfriend Zac Efron:

“He always makes me happy. He literally knows exactly what to do to make me laugh.”

When asked if they’re ready to walk down the aisle, she said:

“No. It’s fun having a boyfriend. But only time will tell. I’m still young, and I have my girlfriends and I have my family. I think that it’s definitely important to have balance.”

It sounds like she has the right people around her to support her, especially her parents. I still think Zac must be pretty serious about her if he gave her a car for her birthday though unless it was a cover. Either way, what a lucky girl!
