VANESSA Hudgens says she felt traumatised after "f**ked up people" leaked her nude photos.

The High School Musical star had intimate photos leaked three times over three years and opened up about the pitfalls of fame - admitting losing her privacy has been "sad".

Vanessa was one of the first celebrities to have their privacy breached back in 2007.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan UK, the 31-year-old said it was "a really traumatising thing for me".

She added: "It's really f***ed up that people feel like they are entitled enough to share something that personal with the world.

"As an actor, you completely lose all grip of your own privacy and it's really sad ... Unfortunately if enough people are interested, they’re going to do everything they can to get to know as much about you as they can."

She went on to speak about the #MeToo movement and revealed her own experience with inappropriate behaviour in the industry.

She said: "I have been talked to in ways that are not appropriate. I have been in situations where I’ve been talked to in inappropriate ways, but right then, in that moment, I was the person to just say, 'No. Why would you say that? You’re completely out of line.'

"I’m the type of person in any situation, whether it’s an audition or in work, if I feel uncomfortable, I’m going to walk away or let that person know they’re making me feel uncomfortable.

"Then, if they don’t respect that, they can go f*ck off. If someone doesn’t like that, literally they can f*ck off. As long as you hold your ground, no one will bring you down."

Vanessa has most recently become a Netflix movie star, taking the lead role this year in The Knight Before Christmas.

However, many fans had hoped Vanessa would star in a Princess Switch sequel.

Last year, she made her Netflix debut in the Christmas movie as a Chicago native who runs into the Duchess of Montenaro and realises they look identical.

She is worth an estimated £10million and has made 21 movies.

Every year, the former teen icon makes a vision board and says she likes to reward herself when she achieves her goals.

She added in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan: "I’m a big advocate of patting yourself on the back. I look at myself in the mirror and say, 'Hey girl, you are crushing it.'"
