Another Disney Actress, Another Nude Scandal


Today in the gossip section, there were photos of another Disney star, Adrienne Bailon, posing nude for her boyfriend. Now, I am not against MATURE AGED girls (and by this i mean BOTH mature and older) taking a few raunchy pics for their partners. However I am against it when a complete lack of sense is shown when they continually leave them on devices that are so easily accessed and then posted all over the world for so many young and impressionable girls to see.

What really frustrates me is when people say, 'who cares? she is just a normal girl living her life.'
This frustrates me because she is NOT a normal person living her life. She is an actress for Disney, and she stars in movies for young girls, generally younger than 10 years of age. There is a certain responsibility that goes along with this job, whether she likes it or not. It doesn't matter which actress it is, and there is a good number of them that this applies to, they know going into this job that they will have the power to influence and young girls. And this is not a message that should be promoted.

I do not want my future children to grow up and believe that it is okay to take semi naked or indeed, complete nude photos of themselves and place them for the world to see. It definitely makes me furious when i see girls posting comments to articles displaying these nude photos saying "Everyone does it get off her back." I have news for these girls, it doesn't matter if 'everyone' does it. It does not make classy, respectful or RIGHT.

If Disney actresses want to take naked photos, show a little bit of intelligence and make sure it is in a safe place where NO ONE but yourself can access it.
