AceShowbiz - Being in quarantine can be frustrating and that's apparently what Vanessa Hudgens felt when she ranted about the stay-at-home order on Instagram Live. " 'Till July sounds like a bunch of bulls**t," she said, before adding, "I'm sorry, but, like, it's a virus … I get it. I respect it. But at the same time, even if everybody gets it, like, yeah, people are gonna die, which is terrible but, like … inevitable?"
Inevitably, her remarks sparked backlash. The "High School Musical" star then posted an apology on Instagram Stories, claiming that some of her "comments are being taken out of context." She noted how serious the situation is as saying, "It's a crazy time, it's a crazy, crazy time and I am at home and in lockdown and that's what I hope you guys are doing too." She added, "Yeah I don't take this situation lightly, by any means, I am home."
