Hills star Audrina Patridge is responding to the naked photos of her that hit the Web Wednesday.

"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 in a bulletin to her friends on Myspace Celebrity.

Patridge says the shots, which were allegedly submitted to (and rejected by) Playboy, were supposed to be "artistic and not in any way provocative" and "not meant to be seen by the public."

"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."
