Miley Cyrus has laughed off suggestions that newly leaked photographs of her are scandal-worthy.

The candid pictures show the Hannah Montana star in a hotel room with a female friend, playing around together on the floor and posing for the camera as they share a sweet.

The 15 year old told Z100 New York: “They’re nothing bad! It’s two girls at a sleepover, and if all of a sudden that’s bad, then what is the world coming to?”

But she admits she is upset about the photos being leaked - mostly for the other girl’s sake: “[she’s] a friend of mine, a normal girl … one of my best friends. I have all these girls who I hang out with all the time.”

“I have to deal with [public attention] anyways [but] this girl doesn’t even have to deal with that, and it’s so hard. [Now] she has to go to school and deal with this crap.”

“It’s not something I’m going to let slide.”
