Disney Backs Vanessa Hudgens

Disney Backs Vanessa Hudgens

Disney is speaking out on the Vanessa Hudgens nude photo scandal.

Vanessa has apologized for what was obviously a lapse in judgment,” said Disney Channel spokeswoman Patti McTeague. “We hope she’s learned a valuable lesson.”

Vanessa apologized earlier today for the photos, which show her smiling as she posed naked and in underwear in a bedroom with a red curtain behind her.

Negotiations are ongoing for the High School Musical 3 feature film — including Vanessa and co-star boyfriend Zac Efron.

Disney may offer Miss Hudgens significantly less money because of this unfortunate scandal but my guess is Mister Efron will have none of that. Touche!

Nice to hear this. I was ty sure Disney would back her up anyway. Thanks JJ!

I felt sooooo sorry for her….it was something private…and she’s so young….Disney better keep her!!!

“um, does anyone remember or talk about when drew barrymore was on drugs and an alcoholic? no. you are crazy to think that people will always associate this nude photo scandal with vanessa. if you move on from your past mistakes and go on to do better things, people move on with you. its only when you keep ******** up over and over again that people don’t forget your mistakes. in fact, someone like drew barrymore can be more of a role model because she was able to recover from a really horrible past and be successful”

I agree! I share the same thoughts. I too have experienced things I regretted doing in my past teen years and hurt people I loved, which made them stray away from me. But, That was short lived as I grew up, realized I wanted to better myself. I forgave myself and moved on and live the life I am happy and proud of today. I now have a better relationship with those people who turned away from back then. They’ve forgiven me and saw the changes for better in me.

Don’t ever give up Vanessa! I wish you well.

well, to disney, you really need to think about this… this is a serious matter but hey, vanessa is a great actress and you don’t wanna lose her for sure. your channel was a huge hit because of high school musical and besides she’s been a big part of your family!!! if you really love her you’ll accept her apology and still keep her!!!

Vanessa is a *****!!! zac should break up with that dumb ass ugly gf of his!!! i feel so BAD for him!!! Hes a cutie and he has to deal with her bull ****!!! if i where him i would break u with her and leave her in the mother ******* dust and she has to do everything for herself not zac for her!!! BIIII V HI SOME ONE ELSE

I hate what this beautiful young lady is going through right now.
I think that it is pretty safe to say that she was under 18 when these photos were taken but no matter what her age was it is just wrong that they are all over the internet.
I honestly cannot blame her for going to Oz with Zac rather than JKL. Hopefully, this scandal will fade once Ms. Spears pulls whatever crazy stunt she plans to pull at the VMAs tomorrow nite. Until then I just wish that people would stop calling her a *****/*****/**** etcetcetc. She made a mistake. It is as simple as that! Everyone makes mistakes. Some are worse than others and I think that this in NO way even begins to compare to some of the other Hollywood “role models” that there are out there now and some of the crazy **** that they have done!!
Vanessa is VERY lucky to have some very loyal fans out there and she should not lose any sleep over the ones that she may have lost.
Her apology over this incident was a VERY mature and appropriate reaction. She and her camp could have very easily denied that the photos were authentic as there were plenty of people disputing it when they were released Thursday but they owned up to it and she apologized. It is time to move on!!
Disney apparently has more sense than I thought they would in deciding to back her on this and still consider her for HSM3- as a poster above said w/ out V they will lose fans and more than likely lose Zac as he is mostly doing this for her. And definitely if they lose Zac the HSM franchise will greatly suffer.
I really, truly hope that the buzz about this will have died down by the time that Vanessa comes home bc right now all I can think is that this sucks terribly for her and her family (especially Stella)
Keep your head up Baby V and just know that there are still a LOT of people out there who still Luv You!!!

Everybody who keeps saying how Zac should break up with Vanessa should wrap their head around this fact: Celebrities don’t take advice from message boards. If celebrities actually cared about what message boards said about them and acted upon that: John Cena would’ve learned a new finishing move, Lindsay lohan would stop drinking, and David Beckham would go back to England. Do you Know why these things haven’t happened? Because Celebrities don’t take advice from message boards.

So Stop saying how Celebrities should run their lives, and start suggesting to Jared (you da man) on what stories to follow, what sources sound reliable and what you think about this in terms of celebrities image and career. Oh Wait you guys won’t do that, because nobody who post on celebrity message boards takes advice from them.

zanessafan @ 09/09/2007 at 3:56 am

Soo glad to hear Disney stick with her! I was sad when I saw the story about the pictures. I can’t believe someone could do that. Hopefully, they find out who it was and make them pay. They need to take those pictures down and stop spreading them!!
Zanessa 4eva!!!!

zanessafan @ 09/09/2007 at 3:59 am

HMS3 won’t be the same without V and Zac together. Like they said: “They haven’t been separated since the audition” and keep it that way. Their chemistry onscreen is unbelievably amazing. I won’t watch the third one if they’re not in it together.

95% of the people here support her. wow…

you support her? youre behind ehr 100%?

Dude people. are you blinded by those cheekbones?! what if your kid decideds to google up her name, looking for fansite when BAM a nude picture.

shes the role model for 9 year olds for heavens sake. not adults or teenagers. why not keep that in mind when you make comments about this?

Its not vanessa’s fault for making a mistake in trusting someone with these pictures, but considering her position as a disney role model, i say she deserves the boot.

a future in the porn industry sounds promising for this ****

omg disney
yessssss
vanessa u rok
disney
u rok
vanessa love u ***

zanessafan @ 09/09/2007 at 2:46 pm

Of course I support her. What she does in her bedroom is her business, no one else’s. If they’re a fan with a fansite, they wouldn’t post the picture of her like that. They seriously need to take down those pictures though and stop the spread. Punish the one who leaked it in the first place!!

well.
i still think vanessa is still a good role model.
and plus she is still young.
i mean come on 18.
she just wants to have fun thats all.
and i dont think disney channel needs to give her less money.
-_-
and stay strong vanessa!!

w0w this is crazy but im backing up vanessa all the way because hello shes a normal person even though shes a celebrity she has a wild side yeah but who the heck cares its not like she was displaying it on the disney channel lmao its her private life she does what she wants with it

hola nessa!!!!! buenvenida debuelta a hsm. 3! yo se q lo q hicistes esta muy mal y me pone muy contenta q lo reconoscas te amo nena te sigo hasta la muerte!!!!!!!! t vanco a morir!
besoo

FOR 1 ZAC IS NOT GAY, AND FOR 2 VANESSA SHOULD NOT BE FIRED FROM ANY JOB, BECAUSE THIS WAS I MISTAKE, AND JUST LIKE THE REST OF USE VANESSA IS A HUMAN BEEN AND DISERVIES THE RIGHT TO KEEP HER PRIVET LIFE PRIVET, SO FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO GET RID OF HER THAT IS COMPLELTY WRONG, BECAUSE SHE MADE A MISTAKE, AND EVERY ONE MAKES MISTAKES. AND IM PRETTY SURE VANESSA HAS LEARNED HER LEASON. AND I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT, IF VANESSA ANNE HUDGENS IS NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 THEY WILL LOSE A LOT OF MONEY, AND WHO NOSE MAY BE EVEAN THE REST OF THE CAST BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL VERY CLOSE AND PERSONEL FRIENDS NOW. SO I ASK DISNEY STATION AND EVERY ONE ELSE TO PLEASE GIVE VANESSA ANNE HUDGENS ANOUTHER CHANCES SHE MADE A MISTAKE AND EVERY ONE DISERVIES A SECOUND CHANCE. SO PLEASE DO NOT GET RID OF HER. AND JUST TO LET YOU KNOW IF YALL DO GET RID OF HER I WILL NOT BE WATCHING THE 3RD MOVIE BECAUSE IT JUST WONT SEEM RIGHT SEEING ZAC ON SET WITH ANOUTHER GIRL PLAYING GABRILA. THANKS
