Vanessa Hudgens Says Paparazzi 'Exploited' Her By Sharing Photos Of Newborn Baby

Vanessa Hudgens did not take kindly to the publication of photos showing her and husband Cole Tucker emerging from a Los Angeles hospital with their new baby.

The “High School Musical” actor and singer confirmed the birth of their first child Thursday in an Instagram Story. In the same post, however, she called out paparazzi who had broken the news of the baby’s arrival a day earlier.

“We’re disappointed that our family’s privacy was disrespected and exploited during this very special time due to the greed of a long lens camera feeding the media,” <a href=«https://twitter.com/PopBase/status/1808991139468619826?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1808991139468619826%7Ctwgr%5E13d1bc6b1743f3fbcfa2b77aa13e427ea54d115a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fathena.huffpost.net%2Fus%2Fcms%2Fentry%2F66880bcbe4b0c732b4621e3a%2Fdetails» target="_blank" role=«link» class=" js-entry-link cet-external-link" data-vars-item-name=«Hudgens wrote» data-vars-item-type=«text» data-vars-unit-name=«66880bcbe4b0c732b4621e3a» data-vars-unit-type=«buzz_body» data-vars-target-content-id=«https://twitter.com/PopBase/status/1808991139468619826?ref_src=» https: data-vars-target-content-type=«url» data-vars-type=«web_external_link» data-vars-subunit-name=«article_body» data-vars-subunit-type=«component» data-vars-position-in-subunit=«3»>Hudgens wrote

However, she concluded the post on a happier note, adding: “Despite all of that, Mom dad and baby are happy and healthy.”

Hudgens didn’t single out a specific photographer or media outlet in her Instagram Story, and offered no additional details on her baby’s birth. Several of the photos appeared in a TMZ article published late Wednesday and were widely circulated on social media.
