By the standards of the internet, the photograph is relatively tame: an 18-year-old girl, standing in a bedroom in front of deep red curtains, pulling back her hair and smiling for the camera.
Shes stark naked, of course.
But this is a nude picture like no other. It could, in fact, represent one of the most expensive PR disasters in recent media history.

To answer their headline: No.
If there is damage to be done, it’s already been done by Lindsay and Brittney.
Minnie Mouse is going to be so jealous.
Did posing nude hurt Vanessa Williams’ career?
She’s 19 and getting kind of old for Disney. Some of these actors run the risk of becoming what Ralph Machio did in Karate Kid 3...old and fat.
I’d have to see them first....
She’ll be fine.
What I’d like to know is how the hell the photo found its way onto the Internet.
Keep in mind that the ONLY Miss America to have a successful career apart from the pageant was Vanessa Williams, who managed to bounce back from softcore lesbian photos published in a major men’s magazine of the time.
Of course, the fact that she posed naked for her boyfriend suggests they are sleeping together, which itself would hurt the Disney “wholesome” image if they still had one.
Same thing happened with Traci Lords when it was discovered she was underage while doing porn.
I am sure she will be fine also. As a matter of fact, I think it will help her from being typecasted.
I’ll bet ‘ole Hugh Hef is trying to sign her up for a centerfold spread before he dies.
I feel bad for her as either her bf or a hacker got them out for everyone to see.
Very few actors can have a major success at ANY age. Even those who were child stars/adult hasbeens should count their blessings that they even had such fame.
Disney’s name hasn’t meant “wholesome” for over a generation, when they started Hollywood Pictures, Dimension Films, Miramax, et al and their ownership of the ABC Network has done nothing to alter that perception.
I thought in Karate Kid III he became...
...Hillary Swank.
OK post the “where’s the pics jihad picture”.
I don’t think they’re talking about damage to Disney as a whole.
Just to their High School Musical franchise...which is all the rage right now among young girls.
I never heard of her or the show until she showed her assets.... so it’s working for them already.
It was KK 3 he did when he was 28.
Stupid, stupid, stupid. I hope a lot of young girls learn something from this.
