High School Musical’s Vanessa Hudgens publicly discussed her 2007 Naked Photo Scandal for the first time on Tuesday. Baby V got candid on the embrassing flicks during an appearance on Good Morning America Radio on Monday.

“My fans were amazing because they have stood by my side. They really are my core group. My family’s always there for me. I just surround myself with good people and try to think of good things. … I think people thought I took it lighter than I really did.”

Baby V is currently promoting her sophomore album, Identified.
