High School Musical's leading lady Vanessa Hudgens (wholesome brainiac Gabriella) has apologized for a a photo surfacing on the Internet of her standing naked in a bedroom.
The nude photo appeared Thursday, and on Friday more photos of a coquettish, yet clothed, Hudgens appeared.
"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," Hudgens said in a statement. "I am thankful for the support of my family and friends."
Hudgens' reps issued a statement saying the photos were taken in private, yet did not reveal who took them and how they were leaked.
Hudgens is dating HSM co-star Zac Efron and has been involved in talks to sign for High School Musical 3. Insiders say that both will appear in the third installment.
