Teen star Vanessa Hudgens talks about her experience regarding the controversial leaked nude pictures that jeopardized her blossoming career.
"It's very traumatic, and I am extremely upset it happened," the High School Musical star confides. "I hope all my fans can learn from my mistake and make smart decisions."
The 19-year-old singer/actress reveals that she knew the photos had been leaked online. "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."
Hudgens says that she learned a lesson from the scandal; "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," she added.
