AceShowbiz - Actress Vanessa Hudgens has opened up about the scandal surrounding her 2007 naked photo leak, revealing she was traumatised by the drama.
The "High School Musical" star was among the first celebrities whose private photos were hacked and exposed online over 12 years ago, and she still hates thinking about it.
"It was a really traumatising thing for me," she tells Cosmopolitan magazine. "It's really f**ked up that people feel like they are entitled enough to share something that personal with the world."
"As an actor, you completely lose all grip of your own privacy and it's really sad. It feels like that shouldn't be the case, but unfortunately if enough people are interested, they're going to do everything they can to get to know as much about you as they can, which is flattering, I guess, but then people take it too far and end up divulging things that should be personal."
The former Disney star said she didn't regret the world seeing the full frontal shots, which she reportedly took to titillate then-boyfriend Zac Efron, at the time.
"I think that everything happens for a reason and I wouldn't take back anything that I've done," she said. "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."
