Dear Vanessa,
Can I just say first that you totally rocked on the show with Alexa Chung? You looked simply stunning and your poise is remarkable. We loved it! And watched it, again and again.
Apparently, your fans were not the only ones watching. Some other people were watching as well. They don’t really matter so we won’t bother with names. These people though, have been watching you for a long long time.
They watched you audition and win a role in a little TV movie. They watched it explode. They watched you travel around the world. They saw your face each time they turned on their TV. They saw your face on merchandise each time they entered the mall. They watched you smile and laugh and giggle. And they stewed, and churned, and developed ulcers from bitterness.
But then, before they could choke on their own bile, they remembered they had access to a set of private pictures you took before fame hit. Then they planned, and watched, and gloated, and sent a sound bite to National Ledger and just after the HSM 2 premiere, in the midst of promo, when you were on a high point in your career, they released one picture and let National Ledger know there were more.
Then they watched and gloated and waited for you to fade to nothing. Oh no! What happened? You didn’t fade! You took responsibility and weathered it, and grew stronger, and more poised, and more beautiful. And your face didn’t disappear, it was still on the screens, and the merchandise, and the magazine covers, with that smile, oh that smile. And they were left with pain, the pain of a failed effort.
So they waited. Again. And watched. Watched you premiere HSM 3, watched it take the world box office, watched you captured by the talented camera of Annie L, watched you shimmer at the Golden Globes, watched you perform at the Oscars, watched you land a role in Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch and headline CBSfilms’ Beastly, watched your beauty blossom and mature and glow. And they stewed and churned and brooded. And their ulcers became unbearable. How dare you attempt to build a career beyond HSM! You were supposed to fade away!!!
So they planned, and watched, and stewed. With perfect timing, right in the midst of another promo, around another premiere, at a high point in your career, they released the other private pictures, hoping, hoping ever so earnestly that these work and make you fade away. The poor things.
My dear, I can’t even begin to imagine how hard this is for you because you’ve worked really hard and have had to overcome a lot of obstacles to get to where you are. However, we need you to do something for us. Please, hold your head up high, and straighten your shoulders, and be strong. You are not alone. We all stand with you, because we all are flawed. More importantly, someone much greater, and much more gracious, is standing with you as well, and watching over you. You are blessed. And your personality radiates with their blessing. No, you are not to be pitied at all.
We reserve our pity for the poor things who have sat on private pictures of a 17 year old for years, perving and brooding and plotting and stewing and dying slowly. Imagine the pain of such a life, and the deformity of such a mind, and the barrenness of such a heart, and feel deep pity for them.
You will continue to bloom and blossom and learn and grow, because good always triumphs over evil. And we will stand with you all the way, watching, and supporting, and loving you always, and unconditionally.
Your fans.
Looking forward to see you dressed to kill on Jimmy Kimmel. And just because…

“I will show nudity in a film when the time is right, right now, I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it, but like I said, when the time’s right, if it’s an amazing movie that I’m really passionate about and that’s what it calls for, then we’ll see.” – Vanessa Hudgens
I wonder why this quote is a big deal to anyone of intelligence who has not signed up to the moral brigade.
It seems to me that that is one smart answer to an unnecessary question. An answer I would expect from an aspiring thespian. Whatever she does in her private life is her business but when it comes to her craft, she’s not prepared to show nudity for nudity’s sake but if it would enhance her art, she’ll consider it.
The question begs to be asked why this quote would be an issue in an industry fascinated with sex and nudity in all forms and that promotes such even when they’re unnecessary.
I can imagine the replies, ‘Have you been living under a rock? Do you not know about that nude picture?’ Oh yeah, but what about it?
We know the facts: Vanessa did take a nude picture of herself when she was 16 and virtually unknown; someone or a group of people leaked it on the internet when it looked like her career was on the rise; everyone saved it on their phones to aid their meditations in between moralising; she apologised to her fans that the picture became public, and moved on.
Still I ask, what about it? What’s the big deal? Should she never mention the word nudity again because of that one incident? Or she should tiptoe round the topic for the rest of her life and career?
Maybe it ticks people off that at age 18, she handled a personal crisis with a maturity and class that older people still lack and survived it with her head held high. Perhaps others find it annoying that she looked that hot at age 16 and is getting hotter and more beautiful with age. Still others feel she needs to flagellate herself for not being perfect, or pretending to be perfect.
Whatever, I am not going to make any excuses or defend the incident. It is what it is, it’s done and over, she is still who she is and she’s moved on with her life and career. It’s entirely up to the public and the media to either continue their daily meditations on the picture of a 16 year old or build a bridge over it and get on with their own lives and careers.
Having flaws and making mistakes is a trait common to all humanity including the moral brigade, but it is the handling of one’s own flaws and other people’s flaws that differentiates the hypocrites from those that live in reality of their own humanity.
I for one, am happy she did not shy away from answering the question. She’s too strong a woman and too much of a survivor to hinge her life and career on one unfortunate incident. She’s also too strong a character to allow her personality and outlook be shaped by a low point in her life or give other people the leeway to slot her into a mould. No, that is for those that live for public approval. She didn’t need it when she was down, she doesn’t need it now.
As an aspiring thespian, she would deal with nudity in film like any serious thespian who is in for the art and not for an image or fame, and that is that. The Hollywood hall of fame is lined up with thespians who have survived all manner of personal and public scandals but who did not let those deter them but went on to make a mark in their careers. Some of those legends are still alive today.
She’s in good company and will be judged by history not by those who thrive on sensationalism that is here today and replaced tomorrow by the next titillating headline.
