Audrina Patridge said she regrets taking the nude pictures that have now surfaced . The 'Hills' star released a statement saying those photos were meant to be 'artistic'. They were taken for Playboy in the hopes that she would be 'discovered'.
“Regarding the photos that someone released to the public today without my consent, I wanted you to know they were taken when I was just out of high school and beginning to model,” Patridge said.
“I was naive, overly trusting of people and inexperienced,” she adds. “I thought that to be a model you had to be comfortable in front of the camera. I’m not ashamed of these photos, but I don’t want my young fans to think they have to do what I did. I hope people can learn from my inexperience. It’s been almost five years since I posed for that shoot, and during that time I have learned many lessons about this business.”
Some of the snaps shows Patridge completely topless, sporting a pink plaid schoolgirl skirt. Others depict the brunette nude in a bathtub, surrounded by candles, and there are several of her frolicking in an infinity pool.
