Hudgens co-stars defend her against haters

Vanessa Hudgens's Bandslam co-stars have insisted that the actress does not deserve the negativity that is often directed towards her.

The High School Musical star hit the headlines recently after a second batch of photographs allegedly showing her in various states of undress surfaced online.

Speaking to E! Online's Marc Malkin, actor Charlie Saxton said: "It's so totally uncool. It's like, come on. Give me a break.

"She's such a sweet person, such a nice girl. She really doesn't deserve all the negativity that she's getting."

Saxton went on to say that Hudgens "held her head high" at the movie's Los Angeles premiere, which took place the day after the nude images leaked on the internet: "She was laughing and smiling, being her typical happy self. Good for her."

Aly Michalka added: "I think that it's about people being hard on people just to be hard on them. It's hard to avoid that sometimes... I think it really is based on that and I think maybe her being with Zac [Efron]."
