Vanessa Williams Recalls Her Controversial Nude Photos

Vanessa Williams, author of new memoir, "You Have No Idea," talks to Anderson about the controversial photos that were released to Penthouse magazine. Williams remembers the day she got a call from a New York Post reporter, who informed her that some racy photos that were going to be released in Penthouse magazine. Vanessa says, "The pictures I had taken were when I was 19 years old, but I know that I hadn't signed a release."



Vanessa's mom, Helen, tells Anderson her husband refused to look at the pictures, but since she is an "inquisitive" person, she wanted to see them. "But when I looked into the eyes of Vanessa in those photos, I could tell that she was very upset, that she was very sad, that she recognized that this is something that she probably shouldn't have done."
