Actress Vanessa Hudgens is embarrassed by the nude photo that found its way to the internet yesterday and apologetic to her fans in a statement released today.

In a statement released Friday by her rep, Hudgens, 18, says: “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.”

Hopefully people can forgive and move on from this unfortunate incident. Vanessa is young and did something that many women her age and older have done. When you are in love, you trust people, and sometimes you get burnt by that. Vanessa, being a major celebrity, has to be careful of her actions both in and out of the public eye.

By the look of the snap shot, Vanessa has nothing to be embarrassed about, with the exception of the photos becoming public.

Also, as reported on Bumpshack last night, contrary to many published reports, Disney has not responded to the incident.

There has been no immediate comment from Disney. The studio was in talks to bring Hudgens (who is currently dating her HSM costar, Zac Efron) back for more HSM sequels.

I predict Disney will support Vanessa and penalize her for her youth and poor judgment.

UPDATE: Disney has come out with their full support for Vanessa.
