Vanessa Hudgens — who they say is an actress but she’s really best known for those leaked nudie pics she took for her boyfriend and High School Musical co-star Zac Efron — has the cover of the February issue of Seventeen, where she gives her first interview since the scandal:
“But truthfully I don’t like talking about it. It was something that was meant to be private, and even though it isn’t anymore, I’d still like to keep it as private as I can.”
She then goes on to talk about it as much as possible, knowing that’s the only reason anyone knows her from Eve.
About finding out about it from her manager:
“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 if I was at home. So I got to be away from L.A. for about a millisecond. But when I came back, it got kind of crazy.”
About gossip blogs:
“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.”
About her mom’s reaction:
“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.”
About looking back:
“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. 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 along the way.”
Yeah, it’s really clear she just hates talking about it.
