Well, we have all heard the news about High School Musical’s real-life romance between the characters Gabriela and Troy, actors Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron. However, for those who thought it was an innocent love affair and it was ok for your kids to love the show, scandal has hit the Internet.
Vanessa apparently thought it would be cute to send her boyfriend, Zac, a nude picture of herself. Rumors say she did this by cell phone. Not the smartest move in the book. Well, now Disney has a whole new issue to resolve.
"It is unfortunate that this has become public," an unnamed rep for the 18-year-old singer/actress said in a statement released to Us Magazine.
"This was a photo which was taken privately," Hudgens' representative said in the statement, confirming that the naked girl in the first leaked picture really is Vanessa Hudgens.
Vanessa’s future in High School Musical 3 now remains uncertain, since Disney does not like to promote the image of bad girls, instead preferring to promote good, innocent girls.
As a parent, I am a little upset by her actions. She is a role model and I really do not want to explain to my six-year-old why she isn’t in the next movie.
When will famous people realize that their actions do have an effect on the public? Why not keep that in private? Rumors are that she wanted out of contract obligations with Disney. Is there not a better way to get out of them?
I know she is young and we all do stupid stuff, especially when we are young and in love. Those two things should be against the law. But if you are going to take a role in a major movie or put yourself in the public eye, be responsible!
Realize that young kids do look up to you. With the success of these movies, there is a whole new generation growing up with this new influence. Disney has every right to give her the boot. These kids really do need to realize that there are consequences for actions before it gets to out of hand like the Lindsay Lohan's life.
That is my two cents, what is yours? Yes, the pictures are online for all the world to see, but that is a whole other story. Feel free to google them-it really is sad that she had that little respect for herself or sad that whoever did release them had that little respect or both.
