Vanessa Hudgens is among many celebs that have fallen victim to nude photo leaks and now the actress has spoken out on the experience to Paper Magazine.

“That was just a really s**tty situation that sucked,” she told the magazine of the racy shots that went viral of her in 2007. “That was by far the worst moment of my career.”

The now 24-year-old, who took responsibility for the pictures at the time apologizing to her fans, talks about how her career took an edgier path shortly after.

“It’s always been hard for actors to cross that bridge, but honestly, you have to hold out and do what you think is right for yourself,” she says about shaking her squeaky-clean Disney star image.

Hudgens, who plays a rebellious college student in the upcoming film “Spring Breakers” hit the red carpet Tuesday in Berlin alongside co-star and gal pal Selena Gomez.

The two looked far from their Disney days, both sporting sexy outfits, Gomez, 20, in a plunging neckline suit and Hudgens in a high slight one shoulder floral frock.

Hudgens also went on to dish to the mag about what it was like to film her good girl gone bad scenes in the highly anticipated flick.

“You sit there. You’re smoking your fake blunts. You just do it,” she said. The actress also revealed the cast snorted crushed up Vitamin B as a cocaine substitute for certain scenes.

“We would run around set like mad men, and people would wonder, ‘Did you switch that out with anything?”’ she joked.

“Spring Breakers” hits theaters March 22.
