Disney Stands By Their Girl
High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens is the latest celebrity to have a compromising photo of her leaked to the web. According to her representative a nude photo that has been making the rounds on the Internet is of the 18-year-old star, and so far Disney is standing behind her.
The photo shows Hudgens standing naked in what appears to be a bathroom, with a red shower curtain behind her, according to the Associated Press.
“This was a photo which was taken privately,” Jill Fritzo, Hudgens’ publicist, to AP on Friday. “It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public.”
In less than two years, High School Musical has become a cottage industry for Disney, spawning albums, swag, a sequel and a show tour. . .Hudgens, co-star Zak Efron and others have been turning up on magazine covers and their collective star power appears to be rising fast. In the two TV movies, Hudgens played Gabriella, Efron’s character’s love interest. Hudgens and Efron are reportedly dating in real life.
Disney denied a published report that Hudgens will be dropped from the upcoming feature film “High School Musical 3,” which is in development, according to AP. Negotiations with the stars are not yet complete.
Disney had no further comment about the pictures.

i hate the fact that she ruined her life doing this she changed my opinion about her and i dont want my family to worship her
I know she said it was “private”, but how many stars lately have found out that they need to think twice about every decision they make.
We have seen this with Paris, Britney, Lindsay, Miss Teen USA and so on. Seems that it isn’t hip to be a roll model anymore. Very Sad.
That’s Hot!
Why do they keep repeating phrases from other newspaper articles?
“Disney denied a published report that Hudgens will be dropped from the upcoming feature film “High School Musical 3,” which is in development, according to AP. Negotiations with the stars are not yet complete.”
This is getting SO old..just reading about the nude pics in the other 113 (?) articles there is about the nude photos….
According to other articles, Adrienne Bailon has replaced Vanessa Hudgens…in HSM3. Is that fair to the public? Hudgens and Efron was chosen for their skills in acting, dancing, and singing as well as their ‘chemistry’ in the first place! Bailon and Efron may not have that same chem and that will definitely rather ruin the movie. So why can’t Disney act responsible FOR ONCE, grow up and do nothing?
Kids don’t read newspapers anyways…they’ll dismiss it as just some rumor. No offence, but two weeks ago, I never even knew what HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL was let alone the actors who played the main characters. And I don’t know who Adrienne Bailon is either-but I’ve seen her pictures…can you say eww? All I can say for sure is that if Bailon does play Gabriella in the next movie-she’ll have to work harder to crack the image of ‘Gabriella’ left there by Hudgens. Cos people have expectations…
HSM has also become famous-because of the nice, bouncy songs. So without Hudgen’s singing voice…the songs will have to be fitted to Bailon’s singing voice…and perhaps, the songs will suck? Thus-the end of the High School Musical??
Even I, a non-high school musical fan (I’m in college. i don’t think it’s actually targetted at college kids), must say that Hudgens is perfect for the Gabriella role-and Bailon will have lot’s to fill-because of the expectations from HSM and HSM2. People will expect Bailon to do as well as Hudgens for the role.
P.S. It is likely that there will be rumors of Efron and Hudgens separating…We will see whether Efron is really non-materialistic and down-to-earth as they say.
The END. Of my little rant.
This was done in private and in no way should she be made a scape goat for the disney corp..or for the rest of us.. she has the right to do what she whats like we all do.. like I stated before in PRIVATE .Why don’t you all GROW up.
I love Vanessa Hudgens, but nude pics of an 18 year old disney star? She had to have seen the headline coming. Info and high-res pics are at isthisguyserious dot com…gotta admit though, I think she’s a bit hotter with her clothes on!
At least she’s owning up to it. She never tried to claim it was photoshopped or a big lie, the girl seems to be handling this well. She’s legal, it’s her life, she’s not actually doing porn in the shot. There’s really no reason for Disney to drop her. If she continues to handle this as maturely as she has so far the whole thing’ll probably blow over. Dropping her from the sequel over this would kill the franchise.
I cant believe that Vanessa would do this…shes such a fake….everyone can tell that this picture wasnt taken without her knowing. Her makeup and hair is done and plus she is posing..umhh hello no one does that when nobody is looking…and first of all why was she nude in the first place???…thats so stupid of her…she is not embarassed she is proud because of the publicity….and why is Disney standing by her…they just want to use her for their next movie “High School Musical 3” well she now knows who really likes her…and she thinks she is so cute..why doesnt she show her relationship with Zac Efron…why are they hiding this secret…VANESSA HUDGENS WAS NUDE FOR ZAC EFRON!!!!!!!!!!!! and for PUBLICITY
I wonder who it was for
This is sooo not like her, I can’t see her doing that!!!!
No one is going to wacth High School Musical 3 if Vanessa isn’t in it! At least I know that Im not going to wacth it if she’s not on the AWSOME COOL movie High School Mucical 3 This is sooo unreal!!! And some people say that Zac was taking the photo!
HSM3 without Vanessa. It won’t be the same if you replace her. Nobody will watch it without her in it so why even make the movie. Nobody enen cares about it anymore so why replace her. Just give her a second chance,I don’t want her to be replaced. I used to love Disney Channel but now that they kicked Hudgens off I don’t like it. IT’s NOT FAIR. So chill and let Hudgens be on HSM3. It’s not her falt. She didn’t put it on the enternet. Plus it was PRIVATE! So please give her a second chance. It’s not her falt and everyone loves her. HSM3 STINKS!
vanessa was replaced by adrienne from the cheetah girls…i dont think the movie will make sense, no ones gonna want to see it
she is horrible:-&:-&

HSM3 without Vanessa, NO WAY! Vanessa has taken these photos for a looong time ago and i dont care. Zac and Vanessas chemistry is perfect and HSM will not be the same with a new Gabriella. Disney have not confirmed about the new Gabriella thing so CHILL!
to be fair she’d get it
omg i didnt think u where the type of girl to do that it has just really shocked me sooooooooooooooooooo much xx
SHE IS LOVE SICK
Omg i dont beleive it! I was soo looking forward to high school musical 3! i loved 1 and 2! So shes really not allowed to do number 3??
WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunatly you were one of the few lucky ones who didn’t have to be exposed to this crap. All I can say is…I can see Zac Efron getting some publicity in the future…remember Lance Bass?
OKay loook everyone does stupid shit she didnt know her jackasss boyfriend would go show everyoneeee hes a fag and neeeds to grow up leave the wonderful girl aloneeeeeeeee
Listen its not her fault…its not like she knew her jackasss boyfriend would go show everyone…shes still wonderful leave her aloneeeeeeeeee!…GOSH PEOPLE NEEED TO LEARN HOW TO STOP TALKING SHITTT….do you not understand..get a lifeee ASAP!
I was so happy with HSM3 but now that Hudgens isn’t on it it’s not fair. Ilooked up to her, I wanted to be like her but now that won’t happen. IT STINKS! Don’t replace her! I love her!

please give her a second chance no body can replace her ….by the way look at her nobody acts a better gabriella…
btw vanessa itll all come trough
you rock!
i think she is a slut and a ugly oneat that
Although Vanessa Hudgens is a great actor, ( proven in both high school musicals) she should not have put her self out there like that if it were private or not, It’s not a very suitable thing to do for some one who is a role model for all children who watch disney. Even through this unfortunate I do hope she is replaced with someone who can fit this role more appropriatly
Vanessa is the best role model there is and should not be taken out of hsm3 . so she made a mistake , but it happens all the time well not like that but still , we all MAKE mistakes thats how we learn , AH – DUH!! so if you call her anything bad then thats what you are !! and disney should not take her out or else im suing theam cuz ima be on one of those upcomming disney shows and ill prove to you all that shes the best . YOU HERE THAT, SHE’S THE BEST. so SHUTUP and be on my side . – Makaila Straub.
Are you serious? Either you are a gay guy or a jealous girl…
Do you honestly think she posed nude and had the photos leaked for publicity? She would obviously know how much it would hurt her. She’s been working with Disney…
lmao
im sooooooooooooooo happy. stupid slut
Disney should drop her because no kids are going to look at her the same anymore, even though most of the little kids who are fans of hers won’t see the photo’s they will eventually hear about them and yeah they were taken in private but that doesnt matter anymore because there out there now and theres nothing anyone can do about it seriously disney is a kids channel and shouldnt have the kind of people like vanessa staring in there movies and shows its just a shame that the photos are out there now because she’s such a beautiful girl and shes basically stuffed up her chances of having any respect from her younger fans and adults she should move to the porn channel. even if she does continue to star in disney movies and shows no one is gonna look at her the same
OMG TO PEOPLE WHO THINK SHES A GOOD ROLE MODEL OPEN UP YOUR EYES YEAH SHES A LIL INNOCENT GIRL IN HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL BUT LOOK AT HER OFF THE CAMERA SHES OBVIOUSLY A SLUT A GOOD ROLE MODEL IS SOMEONE LIKE TYRA BANKS OR BEYONCE
VANESSA HUDGENS IS JUST A FAKE SKANK
Vanessa may have taken a picture of herself nude, but those were meant to be ONLY for Zac, her boyfriend. It somehow ended up in the internet. It’s not her fault. I mean, she’s 18! A lot of girls did things even MORE sluttier. And they shouldn’t replace Vanessa Hudgens with Adrienne Bailon! I mean, think about the story! It’s like Romeo and Juliet, except they don’t die, fall in love, then Juliet dies and Romeo is Juliet’s enemy’s boyfriend and then suddenly, a new girl comes in and becomes Romeo’s new love interest! It’s MADNESS! If they make the movie without Vanessa, I won’t watch High School Musical 3.
posing nude for photos that are meant for your boyfriend, when both parties are of legal age does nothing to diminish the level of respect she should get. She did a great job in the high school movies there is no good reason to have her removed from the third. The photos are tasteful and in my opionon gorgeous. She is a grown woman with a grown body. If parents that hear she did these photos no longer feel that there kids can watch her. These parents should consider themselves unamerican. Watch your kids better keep them off the internet and stop feeding them mcds til their fatter than you. The generations being born today have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. This is where parents concerns need to lye not with the naked, true pics off a healthy woman. Instead of ridiculing her for being nude she should be praised for maintaining a healthy body while a large part of the rest of her peers and younger are fat and slobbonly. They were not porn photos and i have a hunch that any one comparing these photos to porn is jealous of her body and wished they looked as good as her. Her career will not be affected and instead of hoping for her failure you should be praying that fools who judge others are granted the ability to empathise with a woman who has had her privacy violated. There is no one in hollywood who could fill her shoes and she is disney and what it stands for. She is handling this ordeal with poise and confidence. The real story should be about people who compare nude photos to pornography and how they should be proclaimed to stupid to be allowed to comment on lifes issues. ha i win bring it on
Beyonce and tyra are no better that Vannesa they just where a lttle more clothes when having there pics taken and get paid for it. So if your calling Vannessa a slut than you have to call Beyonce and tyra horrs or prostitutes
I hate to break this to you but children are born from people being naked. All she did was pose naked so if she is not suitable than no one is. Every one is naked sometimes private or not. So what your implting is that only woman who never shower or change their clothes [both acts which would cause them to be naked] can play her role. How foolish is that, keep thinking and read what you write before you post it private or not

Posing nude for photos does not ruin your life. The victorian age is over lighten up join us in 2007. If your family was worshipping her to begin with your weird and no one cares about your opionion.
She look HOT!!
hey vanessa this is jan im 13 and im a real big fan. i just want to let u know that it dosent matter what other people say about that pic on the internet just know that if u bealive in ur self an know that u dident put that pic on purpose everything will go fine
I think the ones with her and the other girl with their tongues nearly touching is Much worse for her and Disney then the one of her naked. I Mean we all get naked when we change clothes, and My Kids were running around the house last night when I was discussing it with my wife, and My daughter said “So what? I’m naked right now too!!” she and her sister had gotten out of the bath and was running around before bedtime naked…
My Wife is European, and has a much more lax view of Nudity then us here in the US.
in her photo album when she was a kid, about 1/3 of the photos are of her topless or nude…
as long as the pose isn’t overly sexual, and is just a bunch of girls playing around, the shot was probably done on a dare. you know, get 4-6 girls together and you get all kinds of stupid stuff. ie. spin the bottle, truth or dare, bloody Murder, you know (Girls slumber party games.)
I think it was more like that than her posing for a photo for her boyfriend.
what do yall think?
i don’t want her to be replaced she is my role model and nessa that was a stupid thing to do but i still love her and she is my idol and high school musical is my favourite movie in the whole world so please don’t ruin thisto me and thousands of other fans don’t even try replacing her with this adrienne shit girl seriouslly!! I love vanessa so much and i love the fact that her and zac efron went out cause i love him to……LOL so don’t blow this up plz let nessa stay.. Mwa love u nessa nd zac!! ZANESSA 4 LYFE!
you better not drop her i am warning u hsm produsers u will lose business
there is no such thing as bad publicity, and please, keep the pictures coming, maybe some closeups
changing and showering are different than posing nude for a picture, and letting it “accidentally” wind up on the internet.
that is bad 4 a disney channle star and with all thouse fans she is letting people that pic of her
ok ummm i dont know what to say but that im really suprised tat she would do such a thing but i like her in hsm but its wrong to do that so im not on anyones side but i know one thing for sure ..SHES GONNNA HAVE A TOUGH TIME NOW!!!! i really wish she didnt do that 🙁 im dissapointed geesh
I really actually dont look at her the same, I think I would actually even like hsm3 better without her no offence but shes never been that great and her taking this picture shows who she actually is. If shes your role model because you’ve seen her on hsm then sure but thats not her, thats a script, this is the real her.
Hey vanessa, you lil slut, at least daniel radclifee tried to hide it, you just went straight out and took pics, and posted em! Your a gross freak, how can you be anyones rolemodel!
Yes.
TO THE GIRL WHO SAID BEYONCE AND TYRA ARE PROSTITUTES HAVE U EVER SEEN ANY NUDE PHOTOS OF BEYONCE OR TYRA NO I DONT THINK SO AND FIRST OF ALL TYRA IS A MODEL SO SHE WEARS ALL SORTS OF CLOTHES AND BEYONCE IS A PERFORMER SO YOUR SUPPOSE TO WEAR DIFFERENT OUTFITS AND EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THEIR OUTFITS MAYBE REVEALING THEY DONT LOOK LIKE SLUTS AND LOOK AT VANESSA SHES BASICALLY JUST TURNED 18 AND SHES ALREADY MAKING HERSELF LOOK LIKE A PORNSTAR WHO CARES IF THEY WERE TAKEN IN PRIVATE THERE OBVIOUSLY NOT PRIVATE ANYMORE
AND HOW CAN U CALL BEYONCE AND TYRA PROSTITUTES JUST BECAUSE THERE GETTING PAID FOR WHAT THEY DO PROSTITUES SLEEP WITH GUYS FOR MONEY ITS TOTALLY DIFFERENT, AND THIS WAS PROBABLY A SET UP SHE TOOK THE PHOTOS ON PURPOSE AND MADE THEM PUBLIC ON PURPOSE FOR SOME ATTENTION BECAUSE IF THEY WERE SUPPOSE 2 B FOR JUST HER AND ZAC THEN WHY ARE THEY ON THE INTERNET NOW??? VANESSA IS NO ROLE MODEL
BEYONCE WRITES AND PERFORMS AND TYRA HAS HER OWN SHOWS, SHE USE TO BE A MODEL AND WAT HAS VANESSA DONE MAKE 2 MOVIES OOOOO BIG DEAL SHES A FAKE SLUT
Honestly, you have no write to say she is a slut. How are you going to sit there and say she put those on the internet herself for attention, when it has obviously caused her, her family, and disney much grief and dissapointment. The photos were meant to be private, no big deal, she can do that if she wants. But some immature obviously got a hold of them and leaked them onto the internet. So don’t try to act like you are better than her because of a mistake that happened, show some respect. Grow up.
