Vanessa Hudgens Speaks Out About "Traumatizing" Nude Photo Leak

However, Hudgens, now 31 years old, is not afraid to confront mistreatment head-on. 

"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," she told the magazine. "Then, if they don't respect that, they can go f off. If someone doesn't like that, literally they can f%@k off. As long as you hold your ground, no one will bring you down." 

And, if that bothers someone, Hudgens sees the silver lining. "I've always been a big advocate of being true to yourself. Not everyone is going to like that—well, good," Hudgens said. "That makes you an individual. That makes you unique. And if we're all the same, what's the point? It's important to look out for each other, especially in this industry, and realize it's tough. It's hard enough. Nobody needs to make it harder."
