A member of pop group the Cheetah Girls is taking legal action after raunchy photos of the Disney star were stolen from her laptop.

Adrienne Eliza Bailon (born October 24, 1983) is an American singer, actress, songwriter. She was a part of the former girl group trio 3LW, and is a current member of The Cheetah Girls with Kiely Williams and Sabrina Bryan as part of the actual group, and as an actress in Disney Channel Original Movie of the same name and latter sequels which brought the latter group to prominence.

Adrienne Bailon, one of the three Cheetah Girls who has starred in several hit movies with the girl group, is fuming after the racy snaps were leaked online.

The photos were allegedly taken as an anniversary present for the 25-year-old's boyfriend Robert Kardashian, and show the star posing nude in a hotel room.

A rep for Bailon said the star was "absolutely distraught".

"It's not a scenario where she purposely leaked the photos for attention. This was never really expected."

In a statement through her spokesman, Bailon apologised to fans.

"The photos that have surfaced of Adrienne Bailon were stolen from her laptop over a week ago at an airport in NY and sent to several media outlets.

"These photos were taken in private. Adrienne will be pursuing legal action against the person or persons sending these private photos out.

"She is deeply sorry for any pain this may have caused to her fans".

The scandal comes after several raunchy photo scandals involving Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus and High School Musical actress Vanessa Hudgens.

Cyrus was involved in a controversial "topless" photo spread in Vanity Fair magazine, and Hudgens has had several nude photos leaked online.
