Vanessa Hudgens: nude photo scandal was really tough but it’s over now

Vanessa Hudgens has said she was more hurt by last year’s nude photo scandal than she let on at the time.

The High School Musical star told Good Morning America Radio this week: “I think people thought I took it lighter than I really did.

“For me, it was really tough because I’m a private person and for something like that to happen, it’s so mean.

“[It was] horrible … it sucked. But thankfully it’s over and it’s in the past.”

She added though that she was delighted by the support she received after “stupid people” leaked the photos: “My fans were amazing because they have stood by my side. They really are my core group.

“My family’s always there for me [too]. I just surround myself with good people and try to think of good things.”
