Vanessa Hudgens ' life changed when a nude photo of her leaked online in September 2007 after she was hacked.
The former Disney star was just 18 years old at the time and now, at 31, she's reflecting on the "really f--ked up" ordeal she went through and why she originally took the blame for it.
"It was a really traumatizing thing for me. It's really f--ked up that people feel like they are entitled enough to share something that personal with the world," she told Cosmopolitan UK . "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," Hudgens added.
"I think that is because there's a disconnect when you see your favorite actress on the screen, and you see them now on your TV in your homes, and you can watch them whenever you want. There's almost — I don't want to say lack of respect because that sounds negative — but it just makes you feel like you know them even though you don't."
Hudgens has more clarity on the incident now and originally apologized for taking the photos. "I want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust mean the world to me," she told E! News in a statement at the time. "I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends."
Now, Hudgens believes firmly in standing her ground and advocating for herself. "I have been talked to in ways that are not appropriate. I have been in situations where I've been talked to in inappropriate ways, but right then, in that moment, I was the person to just say, 'No. Why would you say that? You're completely out of line,'" she said.
"I'm the type of person in any situation, whether it's an audition or in work, if I feel uncomfortable, I'm going to walk away or let that person know they're making me feel uncomfortable," Hudgens explained. "Then, if they don't respect that, they can go f off. If someone doesn't like that, literally they can f--k off. As long as you hold your ground, no one will bring you down."
"I've always been a big advocate of being true to yourself. Not everyone is going to like that — well, good," Hudgens said. "That makes you an individual. That makes you unique. And if we're all the same, what's the point? It's important to look out for each other, especially in this industry, and realize it's tough. It's hard enough. Nobody needs to make it harder."

It's been more than 10 years since Vanessa Hudgens' nude photos were leaked to the public, and the actress is opening up about how that time made her feel.
In 2007, 18-year-old Hudgens' privacy was compromised after a nude photo of her surfaced online about a year after "High School Musical" was released. At the time, the Disney actress issued a statement apologizing to fans and expressing regret over taking the photos.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan UK published Friday, Hudgens said it was a traumatizing time for her.
"It was a really traumatizing thing for me. It’s really (expletive) up that people feel like they are entitled enough to share something that personal with the world," the "Bad Boys for Life" actress said.
Hudgens noted how fans can feel entitled to a celebrity's privacy.
"As an actor, you completely lose all grip of your own privacy and it’s really sad," she said. "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."
Hudgens lamented a lack of boundaries between fans and celebrities, in part because of television's reach.
"I think that is because there’s a disconnect when you see your favorite actress on the screen, and you see them now on your TV in your homes, and you can watch them whenever you want," she said. "There’s almost – I don’t want to say lack of respect because that sounds negative – but it just makes you feel like you know them even though you don’t."
The actress, who's now 31, also spoke about the #MeToo movement and shared that even though she's been in inappropriate situations, she doesn't shy away from letting people know they're making her feel uncomfortable.
"I have been in situations where I’ve been talked to in inappropriate ways, but right then, in that moment, I was the person to just say, 'No. Why would you say that? You’re completely out of line,' " Hudgens said. "I’m the type of person in any situation, whether it’s an audition or in work, if I feel uncomfortable, I’m going to walk away or let that person know they’re making me feel uncomfortable. Then, if they don’t respect that, they can go (expletive) off. … As long as you hold your ground, no one will bring you down."

He regularly covers red carpet events and has interviewed stars like Drew Barrymore, Ryan Reynolds and Kirsten Dunst. He previously worked as a copy editor at Topix Media Lab.
Vanessa Hudgens is reflecting on an early career scandal with an empowered lens.
Opening up to Cosmopolitan U.K. for a February cover story, the actress, 31, addressed the 2007 invasion of privacy she experienced as an 18-year-old, which resulted in revealing photos of herself posted to the internet.
At the time, the young Disney Channel star apologized for the leak instead of defending herself as the victim in the situation.
“It was a really traumatizing thing for me,” Hudgens told the magazine. “It’s really f—ed up that people feel like they are entitled enough to share something that personal with the world.”
The Bad Boys for Life star said living in the spotlight, she believes, can cause people to think celebrities are endless fodder for preying perpetrators.
“As an actor, you completely lose all grip of your own privacy and it’s really sad,” she said. “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.”
She continued: “Which is flattering, I guess, but then people take it too far and end up divulging things that should be personal.”
Hudgens — thrust into stardom for her High School Musical work alongside her boyfriend at the time, Zac Efron — was among the first female celebrities plagued by hacks and nude photo leaks.
In the years since, other A-listers have dealt with the modern digital dilemma, including Jennifer Lawrence , whose hacker received prison time .
Responding to the controversy at the time, Hudgens issued an apologetic statement through her rep: “I want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me. I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends.”
A Disney Channel spokesperson, at the time, released the following statement : “Vanessa has apologized for what was obviously a lapse in judgment. We hope she’s learned a valuable lesson.”

Looking back, Hudgens told Cosmo U.K. that she has since learned to stand up for herself in all sorts of uncomfortable scenarios.
“I’m the type of person in any situation, whether it’s an audition or in work, if I feel uncomfortable, I’m going to walk away or let that person know they’re making me feel uncomfortable,” she said. “Then, if they don’t respect that, they can go f— off.”
She added: “As long as you hold your ground, no one will bring you down.”
Hudgens describes herself as a “big advocate of being true to yourself,” regardless of whether others like it or not.
“Not everyone is going to like that — well, good, that makes you an individual; that makes you unique,” she said. “And if we’re all the same, what’s the point? It’s important to look out for each other, especially in this industry, and realize it’s tough.”
“It’s hard enough, nobody needs to make it harder,” she added.

Disney star Vanessa Hudgens has become embroiled in yet another nude photo scandal.
Photos published online show a girl, said to be Hudgens, fully naked and posed provocatively, reports the Daily Mail.
Although the new images only emerged last night they are alleged to be from the same set which emerged online in 2007.
The pictures also appear to show a girl said to be Zoey 101 star Alexa Nikolas, who is seen kissing Hudgens.
Two years ago Hudgens sued the owner of a website which published the first set of shots, saying they were obtained by “unknown methods” and posted without her “knowledge or consent”.
There has been some suggestion that the timing was designed to damage the success of her movie.
