Vanessa: Nudity was a bad idea

When pictures of Vanessa Hudgens wearing skimpy lingerie and even nothing at all hit the net, it hit her hardest. The young starlet claims that dealing with the scandal was the most traumatic thing ever. However, she insists that she came out stronger, thanks to the support of her family and friends.

She said, "I think everything happens for a reason and I wouldn't take back anything I've done. I don't like talking about it because it was something that was meant to be private and I'd still like to keep it as private as I can. It was very traumatic and I was extremely upset it happened, 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 the way."

Vanessa calls her decision to pose in such a compromising way, as a ‘lapse of judgment’. It almost cost her the role in the movie High School Musical. She adds, "I feel that I'm growing up and I'm learning. I'm in control of what's happening next. At times it's been hard, but I feel so lucky to be where I'm at now."
