Melbourne
(ANI):
Nude
pics
of
High
School
Musical
star
Vanessa
Hudgens
that
hit
the
net
earlier
this
month
were
reportedly
taken
by
her
19-year-old
boyfriend
Zac
Efron.
Hudgens'
fans
have
extended
support
in
spite
of
the
Disney
star's
nude
photo
scandal
and
sent
her
sympathy
messages
on
MySpace.
"Vanessa
stay
strong!
u
will
still
be
my
role
model," News.com.au
quoted
a
fan,
as
writing.
Polling
was
conducted
on
the
website,
according
to
which
more
than
70
per
cent
of
voters
said
that
the
emergence
of
the
picture
would
not
harm
Hugdens's
reputation,
reports
TimesOnline.
Her
fans
lashed
out
at
the
mystery
person
who
surfaced
the
picture
on
the
internet.
“I'm
so
so
so
so
sorry
about
what
happened
I
can't
believe
someone
would
do
that
to
you
it's
just
wrong,"
one
wrote.
However,
the
actress
released
a
statement
apologising
to
fans.
"I
am
embarrassed
over
this
situation
and
regret
having
ever
taken
these
photos.
I
am
thankful
for
the
support
of
my
family
and
friends,"
Hudgens
said.
While
the
majority
of
fans
stood
by
her,
some
were
against
her.
"Vanessa
I
understand
ur
an
adult
but
still
that
was
pretty
messed
up
u
shouldnt
have
exposed
urself
like
that,"
one
fan
wrote.
Hudgens' publicist
has
refused
to
answer
questions
about
how
the
photo
released
on
the
internet
or
who
took
it.
