I want to grow like everybody else.” Vanessa also explained how frustrating it is when people continually bring up her nude photo scandal. “It’s just really unfortunate, and to this day people hate me for it, but it’s not like I chose to put that out there in the world. It’s so aggravating and frustrating, and 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. At least some people are learning from my mistakes.”
