In the February issue of Seventeen Magazine,
Vanessa Anne Hudgens talks about the naked pictures and everything in between.
"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. We [her and her manager] 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."
On explaining the photos to her 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.’ [Laughs] My parents are very supportive of me. And they know I’m a teenager, and yes, kids do stupid things sometimes. 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."
