Vanessa Hudgens apologizes, saves Disney job

Vanessa Hudgens has issued an apology after nude pictures of her appeared on gaysocialites.blog and other websites. (click here to see the unsensored photo)
It was rumored that High School Musical star may not be invited back for the third installment as Disney was pissed over Hudgen's lack of judgment. However, this weekend, Vanessa issued the following statement as an apology for her actions.
"I want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me. I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends."
It seems like that apology from Vanessa was enough to make nice with Disney who released the following statement of their own.
"Vanessa has apologized for what was obviously a lapse in judgment," the statement from Disney read.
They also confirmed they would not ban Vanessa from future films in the High School Musical franchise.
The leaked photos were evidently taken for her boyfriend and fellow High School Musical star Zac Efron.
Comments
an apology is not going to fix what she has done. do you realize what you and this little tramp have done? she has teen boys seeing things they should not see and little girls looking up to an image that is immorale. i am apauled that you printed these photos, simply tasteless.

i think what she did was wrong but i don t think we should judje her, yes it was a slutty thing to do, but everyone makes mistakes i mean look at lindsey lohan, britney spears.. those were all people that were supposed to be ur role models but they suck! so give her another chance, she should not have done it in the first place , but it is already done, so whatever...

i think vanessa handled the situation really maturely and to the best that she could. teen girls (and boys!), no matter who they are, end up doing stupid things (whether it is to this extent or not), and it is unfortunate that the media scrutinizes everything these teenage celebrities are doing.
if cameras were constantly following you around while you were a teenager, i'm sure they would have caught enough evidence to get you grounded for a very long time.
it's true that she took these photographs at her own will, but it was not meant for the public. what she does in her private (own) time should stay private, and i'm sure there are many others out there who take intimate pictures to show their loved ones. those people, however, probably do not have friends/acquaintances who think of them only as a CASH COW and would do anything just for a few bucks.
as for teen boys seeing things they should not see, if they want to see something, they're going to get it one way or another. it just so happens that miss hudgens is famous and is more likely to get more exposure, but if they are eager to see pornographic images, it is extremely easy to find on the Internet.
as for little girls looking up to an image that is "immoral", who's job is it for us to judge if she is immoral or not? what she did was a private matter - she didn't do it for money, she didn't do it for an adult website - she did it in the privacy of her own home with the intent that it would be kept private.
little girls can still look up to her, and if you want to keep your children from knowing the truth, then it is YOUR job as a parent to keep an eye on what your children is searching on the Internet.

andi- you obviously aren't a parent, and if you are then you're not a good one. i am not hiding the truth from my child, but i do feel as though she is at a very influential age and i do not want her to make the same mistakes. i simply believe that Vanessa should be publicly reprimanded so that this doesn't look like it is a positive thing to do. that is all.

Hey everyone needs to stay out of her life because it was not her fault that it got posted on the internet and she had no idea that that was going to end up happening.Im on Vanessa’s side for this one because she had no idea that was going to happen so give her a break she said she's sorry about it and she's embarrassed enough so please. I really understand if this was like her second time but it has never happened before up until now so let it slip this time. If Disney takes Vanessa out of the High School Musical series it will NEVER but I mean Never be the same so if they do end up doing that it will be there BIG lost. Vanessa may have done this but she doesn't have to worry because all of her fans still love her and forgive.So,Vanessa I love you and I understand(to Vanessa).

it is true that it is not a positive thing to do, but i think that she is getting a lot more heat than any other teenager (who have done the same things) would get because she is in the media spotlight. i am not saying you should encourage your children to actually go look at the pictures, i am saying that what she did is unfortunate but was NOT intended for the public eye, so it is not our place to judge her because it was not for us to see in the first place.
i am sure your children look up to the "image" of her that they are familiar with - the sweet girl from high school musical. but in reality, you should also let your children know that vanessa is a person (just like the rest of us) and she does make mistakes... and the person that she plays (and even when she is herself on the disney channel), that is simply an image/facade that vanessa hudgens is putting up.
vanessa HAS already been publicly reprimanded. the media is not saying "it's okay" that she has done this - there are already many people, like yourself, who are outraged AND with all of the news/gossip circulating around her, i would think that is already extremely humiliating in and of itself.
if you mean by "publicly reprimanded" is that you want disney to let her go, it would be extremely hard for them to do that because it would completely ruin the flow of the first high school musicals.
if your personal life were aired all over the media, and all your friends/families/COMPLETE STRANGERS were talking about you/judging you/calling you immoral/saying the same things about you that were said about her.. i think that is already being publicly reprimanded in and of itself.
i never said you were a bad parent. there is no need to take any comments written on a public message board so personally. i dont think it is very mature to personally attack anyone's parenting skills based on a few opinions. these are, of course, my own opinions and you can either take them or leave them.

Exactly what was wrong with those pictures? Honestly, she's not naked. She's just doing something sexy for her partner. Big Deal. Just because your in the disney franchise doesn't mean your not a normal person.
Posted by: Shantel | September 8, 2007 06:08 PM
Well not naked in those ones, but even in the ones she was. Who cares. It was meant for Zac. Somehow it got out *glares at Zac*
Posted by: Shantel | September 8, 2007 06:09 PM
What a loser. I have never been a fan of the "High School Musical" scene, but my little nieces idolize it. It's appalling that she didn't think of what the outcome could be. You would think that at 18 she would have learned from other starlets, like Paris Hilton, that if you document your naked body it will end up somewhere on the internet/tabloids/TV. Holy Mary, I'm 16 and I know this. Celebs. don't think before they act. They are too blinded by the glitz of Starlight Town.

Stop posting the damn pictures everytime you have to mention it and kids might not actually see it. Course if a parent is doing their job "young, impressionable' children't wouldn't see it anyway with all the parental controls and filters that are easily available.

she has apoligized to fans and family so i think she has learned her lesson. those pictures were private. they were never meant to be sent out.

I seriously doubt they're for Zac considering (by her hair, cell phone and photographs in her room) that it seems to be right around when Thunderbirds came out, which was before she even met Zac.
