Miley on Provocative Pics: 'I'm So Embarrassed'

cyrus0429.jpg

In a statement released to People magazine, singer Miley Cyrus apologized for several playfully provocative photos that surfaced last week, as well as photos from a recent Vanity Fair shoot.

"My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy," Cryus tells People. "For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie [Leibovitz]. 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."

In the Vanity Fair pictures, Cyrus is allegedly wearing clothes, but she is posed in a way that makes her appear topless.

"The pictures of me on the Internet were silly, inappropriate shots," Miley says in the statement. "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."

Vanity Fair should bear the brunt of this MISTAKE! Not a fifteen year old girl. Fifteen year old girls WOULD LIKE TO think they are grown up but they are not. Vanity Fair should not have even thought of this idea. It was obviously a BAD ONE!

I THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD STOP DEFENDING THIS SICK OLD GIRL. SHE SKNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE’S DOING. SHE CONSTANTLY KEEPS POSTING THESE DISTURBING PICTURES OF HERSELF ON THE INTERNET AS IF SHE’S SOME PORN STAR. IT REALLY NEEDS TO STOP!!! PICTURES LIKE THAT ARE ONE OF THE REASONS CHILDREN AND TEENS ARE BEING RAPED AND MOLESTED. IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN AS CONTORVERSIAL IF SHE HER IMAGE WASN’T MARKETED AS A CLEAN DISNEY CHANNEL STAR. AND WITH SUCH FAME AS BEING A STAR ON A HIT DISNEY TELEVISION SHOW COMES RESPONSIBILITY AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE FANS AS YOUNG AS 2-5 YEARS OLD. ALL THE HOLLYWOOD CELEBS WHO SUPPORT HER WITH THESE IMAGES ARE FOOLISH PEOPLE TOO. IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP AND FACE REALITY, SHE IS NOT ONLY AFFECTING HERSELF WITH THESE SICK, LUSTFUL IMAGES, SHE’S AFFECTING CHILDREN AND ARE GIVING THEM THE WRONG MESSAGES. PEOPLE NEED TO STEP OUT OF THEIR OWN WICKEDNESS AND ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM THAT’S HITTING THEM IN THE FACE. THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN PEOPLE, WHERE HAVE OUR MORALS GONE… DOWN THE DRAIN I GUESS.

I was very upset to think Miley’s parents would permit these shots as well as letting them publish them for the public. I don’t approve of adults doing this, much less children. As to the picture of Miley & her dad, I found that appalling, too. It appeared to be a romatic pose - not a father/daughter pose (incestial). I am SO glad my 12 yr. old granddaughter does not like Miley’s style of performing. Where is this going to lead Miley’s future (another Lindsey Lohan)? You can’t convince me the photographer has more power than her parents. Billy Ray, I’ve lost respect for you now, too.

People need to stop making excuses for her! Most 15 year olds do not take pictures like that! If a kid is brought up right she wouldn’t even want to take pictures like that! Disney is a kid friendly organization and what she’s doing is not kid friendly and not appropriate!

Why do people have to read something sexual into these pictures? Apparently you cant appreciate anything atristic.It takes a really perverted mind to think of these as anything “suggestive”.So dont let your kids watch her anymore, mine will along with a million others, but thats your choice.If you all are so naive that you dont know how typical teens act, you need to open your eyes, before yours get there.

I think the media need to get a life. There blowing this all into porportion. The picturs are of a 15year old girl, she’s a beautiful girl.Don’t let people hide what the good LORD gave you.Miley is a great role model and she’s not going to become like the other slutes,such as Paris, Brittany or lohan she has more class then that and her parents raised her to be better than that….Look at all the teenagers on myspace the parent arent watching them..So who are you to judge anyone..It’s not like she’s showing her private area’s….

The media needs to get a life i’m 32years old and grew up with billy ray and I love miley. Do you people have to make such a big deal over her back being exposed. She’s an beautiful little girl and I think she has way more class then Paris, Brittany, or any other teenage celeb does. With all the crap they show on tv. GIVE ME A BREAK. What about all the teenagers posing themselves on my space there parents are not watching them oviously. So dont judge mileys parent’s people!!!! YOUR NOT ANY BETTER!!!!!

I love Miley, and everyone makes mistakes. She’s a human. All girls go through the same mistakes. Just because she’s famous she can’t make regrets?

I really believe that she has learned from this mistake and that this can be a learing experience for everyone.

She’s a good person. Just give her a break.

The photo is a disgrace! Parents are definitely to blame as they allow this 15 yr old to dress and wear makeup as if she were a “hooker”. Allowing their daughter to be in public like this, they should be arrested for child abuse! This goes for all the girls in the same age group who have similar appearances which are totally uncalled for. Yet, these type of girls are the first to yell rape. There is no excuse for this type of appearance.

I don’t see anything wrong with the pictures. I thought the one showing her back was beautiful and artistic. It made me think of a little girl that had gotten into her mothers makeup and was putting on her mothers clothes to look like a grownup. I thought it was innocent and beautiful. I’ve heard people say the one with her dad looked incestuous and I didn’t see that at all. I thought it was a cute shot and I would have been comfortable sitting with my dad like that and wouldn’t have given it a thought. I’ve read where people said they wouldn’t let there daughters sit like that with their dad. Are they so afraid that a little innocent show of affection is going to cause some kind uncontrollable sexual feelings between either the father or daughter that they can’t be trusted???? THAT makes me sad. I don’t see anything wrong with these pictures at all. As far as people saying how could she do this she is supposed to be a role model to their kids, how are they going to explain this. The only thing to explain is the ignorant people that are getting upset over this, and the PARENTS SHOULD be the role model for their kids not a 15 year old girl.
