Miley Cyrus apologises for last photo scandal - and the next one
Miley Cyrus has apologised for last week’s photo “scandal” - and the one that’s set to kick off this week.
Last week photos circulated on the internet of the Hannah Montana star exposing her bra and draping herself across her one-time boyfriend.
She told People magazine: “The pictures of me on the Internet were silly, inappropriate shots. I appreciate all the support of my fans, and hope they understand that along the way I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect. I never intended for any of this to happen and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone.
“Most of all, I have let myself down. I will learn from my mistakes and trust my support team. My family and my faith will guide me through my life’s journey.”
But while those were candid personal snaps made public, she’s apologised in advance for being involved in a semi-nude photo shoot with renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair.
The as-yet-unpublished photos included images seeming showing the 15 year old topless, with her bare back on display and a blanket pulled to her chest.
Miley explained: “I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed.”
She added: “For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie [Leibovitz]. “You can’t say no to Annie. She’s so cute. She gets this puppy-dog look, and you’re like, OK.”
“[But] I never intended for any of this to happen, and I apologize to my fans, who I care so deeply about. My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy”
A source at the Disney Channel, which broadcasts Miley’s hit show, told Entertainment Tonight: “Unfortunately, … a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines.”
But Vanity Fair has defended the pictures, saying: “Miley’s parents and/or minders were on the set all day.”
“Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot, and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley.”
“[Interviewer Bruce Handy also] asked [Miley] about the photo and she was very cheerful about it and thought it was perfectly fine.”

its not that big of a deal.
personally,i think miley is a s***k anyway.
but its just her back…not anything bad.
i mean,yeah…you can see her nasty too skinny of a body ribs poking out,but at least shes not showing anything unnecessary.
the whole sheet thing is a little “ehhh”,
but we’ve see worse.

I am very dissapointed in Miley’s behavior in this photo. She said that she was a Christian, i mean come on being a christian doesnt mean showing your bare back and your boobs (although you cant clearly see them, the nipples are visible)!!
I’m sad about that b**** doing this!!

It’s idiots like you who take it way out of proportion.
Are you retarded, her boobs and nippled are not visible whatsoever because shes fully wearing a halter top, and they airbrushed the picture.
Get your s**t straight before you start making stupid comments

Ya know what she’s money hungry just like all the other young girls out here, she knew what she was doing when she took those pics with nothing on but a silk piece. She knew they would get out, and now that they are and people have reacted to them , now she says she’s sorry, but if the reaction would have been different as in “omg we love them , they are so eligant” then she would have posted more or shown more on the next photo shoot. she knew what she was doing ( another britney in the making)

Billy Ray was known for raising his child really good and now he’s letting Miley do this!! COME ON YOU HAVE TO SDMIT HE HAS ISSUES! I am a HUGE Miley fan and she dosen’t do this kind of stuff I hope she learns from her mistakes. And Vanessa who cares about her but I know there are a ton of kids that look up to her so I’m going to be nice and say hopefully she learns from her mistakes too! i mean come on LITTLE KIDS LOOK UP TO YOU! JUST THINK DO YOU WANT THESE KIDS PARENTS TO SAY TO THEM -YOU AREN’T ALLOWED TO WATCH HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL OR HANNAH MONTANA ANYMORE JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DID! HOPEFULLY THEY LEARNED!
p.s. I TRULEY LOOOOOVVVVEEE MILEY BUT WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT!

Ok what bugs me is that her parents say” we want to keep her innocent” and she is on stage dancing like a s***k and then there is this photo. There is a lot of little girls that want to be like her and i do not think parents want their kids to do what she is doing now.
Anyways she is going to have to grow up some day and do her own thing. And if this is what she wants to do so be it.

HAHAHA. ok people please read this. I’ve never really liked miley from the start. i mean…come on..she wears too short of dresses, and likes to show of her boobs and stomach a lot. plus she has an ugly boyfriend, that she was half naked sitting on his lap…but anyways, i understand that she and her family thought it was an “artsy” photo shoot but letting your DAUGHTER (billy i am such a christian cyrus) let her go bra less for a magazine..haha either he wanted to see her naked or he wants her to get exposed..she has enough money already. Its like miley saying…COME GET ME BOYS. plus she has no makeup and looks really bad…im just so sick and tired of her flaunting her “stuff” around everywhere she goes…on concerts..when she dances…at premiers…it always dancing s****y or showing too much skin…or normally both. haha well thats all i gotta say..later

I think it’s a natural looking beautiful portriat of her.People just need to shut up about these pictures, i mean come on! Give her a break, she’s only a teenager trying to live her life in front of the whole world.

Yeaah; she does look like smeagle from lord of the rings, lol. But still she can do what she wants, if this is what she wants to do, so be it. Besides its her skinny a*s bare back and sure you can see her spine line but its not like she’s showing anything bad. I mean isnt Vanity Fair like an underware place anyways? i personaly hate her, always have, and I don’t really care what she does,.

I predict she is 18 months from her first re-hab. We’ve seen this story before. Rewind, grab a new kid, press play. 18 months after that, she’ll be wrecking her car and blaming photographers. Then, she’ll be in re-hab again. Rewind, play, rewind, play.
