Nude and suggestive photos of Vanessa Anne Hudgens were leaked online on September 6, 2007, then again on August 5, 2009.

In the 2007 photos, Hudgens appears in lingerie and partially nude. The 2009 photos, posted by TheDirty.com, show the actress topless and in suggestive poses in a variety of locations.

In the October 2009 issue of Allure, Hudgens discussed the nude photo scandals, saying that "it's screwed up that someone screwed me over like that" and stating that the experience has made her think twice about ever appearing nude in a film.http://www.okmagazine.com/2009/09/vanessa-hudgens-not-comfortable-with-onscreen-nudity

In two of the 2007 photos, Hudgens is depicted in lingerie, and in a third photo, she is pictured with full frontal nudity. In an initial statement, Hudgens stated, "This was a photo which was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public." She later apologized and stated that she hopes her fans can learn from her mistakes. In October 2008, at age 19, Hudgens said in an interview with the Mirror that she is "growing and learning" from the whole experience.Mirror: High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens on the Nude Pictures (October 24, 2008)
