Vanessa Hudgens in talks with police over nude photo leak as FBI close in on celebrity hacker ring



High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens met with police yesterday to discuss her latest nude photo scandal.

The actress, 22, is 'deeply upset and angered' after photos taken several years ago were leaked onto an internet site.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been called into investigate because they believe Hudgens is just one of many celebrity victims of a hacker ring.

Sources told TMZ.com that FBI agents believe all 50 celebrities who have been hacked can be traced back to the same person, the ringleader.

Also targeted was Scarlett Johansson, who reportedly had a nude photo stolen from her iPhone.

A person has been trying to sell photos and videos of a nude Hudgens posing provocatively and also alongside Zoey 101 actress Alexa Nikolas.



Hudgens' lawyer Christopher Wong said earlier this week the actress is ‘deeply upset and angered’.

He told TMZ: ‘It is particularly disturbing that whoever got a hold of these private photos seem to be intent on illegally leaking them out over a long period of time.

‘We are actively working with law enforcement to determine who is responsible and to hold them accountable for their actions.'

The pictures also appear to show a girl, said to be Zoey 101 star Alexa Nikolas, who is seen kissing Hudgens.

The scandal comes two years after Hudgens sued the owner of a website which published another set of shots, saying they were obtained by ‘unknown methods’ and posted without her ‘knowledge or consent’.

Hudgens was first embroiled in a nude photo scandal in 2007 - just as High School Musical 2 was premiering on television.



The images come as the High School Musical star prepares her return to the big screen in her new film Sucker Punch and some speculate that the shots are aimed to damage the success of her movie.

Talking about the photo scandal last year Hudgens admitted it had been a challenging time.

She said she still gets upset when she thinks about the controversy.

'I think it has made me stronger. But it still hurts,' she said. 'It sucks because they were supposed to be private, but at the same time a lot of actresses do it [nudity].

'Eventually, I'm sure that I will [on screen]. But I don't know if I would be able to do it now.

'Whenever anybody asks me, would I do nudity in a film, if I say that it's something I'm not comfortable with, they're like, "Bulls**t, you've already done it."

'If anything, it makes it more embarrassing, because that was a private thing. It's screwed up that someone screwed me over like that.'
