Vanessa Hudgens is suing the owners of a website over the publication of her revealing photographs.
The 21 year old "High School Musical" sparked controversies earlier this year when some of her saucy pictures surfaced online.
Hudgens’ lawyers battled to have the photos removed from the website and now she’s taking legal action against one particular website which allegedly refused to take the pictures down.
She has filed suit against bosses at Moejackson.com, alleging a series of "self portrait photographs" taken in a private home with a cellphone were published on the site and remained on view even after her lawyers claimed copyright violation and ordered the pictures to be removed.
The papers state: "The photos were obtained by unknown methods and posted on the Internet by an unknown person without Hudgens’ knowledge or consent."
The celebrity website is reporting that Hudgens’ team has registered the photos with the US Copyright Office.
She is seeking damages and an injunction to order the site to remove the pictures.
It’s the second time Hudgens has been at the centre of a snaps scandal.
She was previously left red faced in 2007 when pictures taken of her posing provocatively in lingerie appeared online - forcing the Disney star to issue a public apology.
Actress Vanessa Hudgens is reportedly enjoying being single again after splitting from actor Zac Efron. "She has been having a blast hanging out with friends. She isn’t really missing him," said a source. Hudgens was recently spotted stocking up on cases of beer at her local store, allegedly telling the store owners she was in the mood for a party. "She said she was having a party and she was really excited", the source added. The 22-year-old actress separated from Efron in December after five years of dating.
