Billy Ray: 'Nothing Funny' About Foxx's Miley Rant

Billy Ray Cyrus stands up for miley cyrus after jamie foxx rant

Billy Ray Cyrus is standing up for his daughter! The singer/actor says Jamie Foxx's rant about Miley went too far.

On Thursday's "Bonnie Hunt Show," Cyrus says, "It was hurtful. There wasn't nothing (sic) funny about it. And, quite frankly, I think if I said those things about his daughter, he might not find it so comedic."

During an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Foxx publicly apologized for the derisive comments he made about Miley on his Sirius Satellite Radio show. "The Soloist" star explained to Leno, "Sometimes as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far." He continued, "Miley, I apologize, so I'll call you."

Don Imus got the boot from his radio station for huring racial epithets. Jamie Foxx gets a slap to the wrist.

Why are blacks better than whites? I want a black person to respond to me and give me an answer.

It is so unfair that blacks get away with it and whites don’t. I wonder why?

Whites get attacked by the media in a hearbeat and blacks get treated like they are God’s gift to humanity.

White people don’t have groups standing up for them. I didn’t see the Naacp , jesse jackson, al sharpton or jerimiah wright coming to Miley’s defense.

They have kept their big mouths shut and I DON’T LIKE NONE OF THOSE CHARACTERS.

They are in your face screaming preachers. I am sick of them.

Sure, Miley could have different groups to defend her, but these black screaming in your face preachers would come out and say what an injustice it is for someone protecting Miley.

I don’t make apologies for my statement. The more I understand how this world really works, the more I don’t like blacks. And this is my opinion. I am very vocal, opinionated and I say it as I see it.

No, really - what is Miley apologizing for? I STILL don’t know. Does anyone? Please don’t tell me if it’s the Radiohead thing.


- THEY were rude to HER

Sally, you are as DUMB AS THEY COME. Miley is a teenage kid, her thought processes are not fully evolved. Jamie Fox is a black man whose thouhts processes have fully evolved and he should know better.

Teenagers do stupid things and Miley did opologize and sincerely meant it. Jamie gave a half assed apology.

Sally, it’s APPLES AND ORANGES. NICE TRY SALLY, BUT I DON’T BUY INTO YOUR BULLSH*T.


- Sally, it's APPLES AND ORANGES. NICE

What the F U # K does Miley have to apologize for?!?!?!?!?! She’s SIXTEEN, sally! Remember?


- jamie foxx is an azz

betty, miley apoligized but that’s isn’t good enough for you. so why should jamie’s apology be? hypocrite.

4/17 5:22 Because Miley has just turned 16 and children/teenagers should be off limits. They even attacked her physically with the gum thing. These are some sick people if they think that was humor. Jaime should have called the family if he was really sorry not on the air. He only apologize because he has a new movie coming out. If that was white people talking, you better believe. Al and Jesse would be out.

To - THE CYRUS FAMILY ARE MCCAIN SUPPORTERS AND REDNECKS. That might not necessarily be the reason he singled out Ms. Cyrus (I guess one is as good as another), but I tell you this: IT IS ABSOLUTELY THE REASON THAT IT IS BEING IGNORED AND FORGOTTEN IN THE NEWSPAPERS AND GOSSIP SITES. As long as you don’t put down a so-called minority(which I guess that conservatives are probably a minority now - how ironic), a liberal, or a low moraled celeb, you’re okay in their minds. God, country, conservatives, v!rgins, and other G-rated people, however, are all fair game. What a screwed up society. This is what they want - the breakdown of values, morals, family. Looks like they’re gaining on us.


- they WILL be sorry, that's the funny part

DEAR FOR THE RECORD: You make such excellent points. It’s been happening this way a lot lately, and I’m CERTAIN it will be the standard now. It is so infuriating when specific incidents are ‘swept under the rug’. The media are allowed carte blanche in controlling who we like, who we lambaste, who we ignore, and who we empathize with. I don’t know how they get away with it, or more importantly, how they sleep at night. This is what pi$ses people off who are usually fair-minded. Those who aren’t,and who ALSO have agenda, are not usually bothered one way or another. In plain English - it S U C K S. (excuse me)


- subjective reporting is NOT reporting; it's gossiping

I find it quite disappointing, and I’m really bitter that this “issue” is being swept under the rug?

How is this lesser an issue for Foxx, that it was for Don Imus? “Nappy headed ho’s” resulted in a major job loss, and being labeled a “racist”? While Foxx and his goonies get nothing but “hush” over this whole racist rant!? Even the news of Hulk Hogin has rated higher than this one, with his “off the cuff” remarks about “understanding” what O.J. was going through??? That, by no means, make Hulk a determined killer???!! Not to mention, it’s all too obvious that Hulk is WHITE??

It’s almost like “this is understood behavior” from a black man. But ANYTHING by ANYONE white should be held to some “higher standard” or something? Therefore focused on more in the media circuit, and punished to full extent of the law??

Jamie was completely OUT OF LINE, competely “RACIST”, and competely in-sincere with his Leno apology! Jamie Foxx at the VERY LEAST should LOSE his Sirius Radio Show??!!! AND, Jamie Foxx should be dragged about the media making apology after apology, and be DUBBED a RACIST!! THAT, my friend is FAIRNESS! That, is EQUALITY! That, is NECESSARY!

Sad sad double standard in these events, so conveniently being SWEPT UNDER THE RUG!!

DEFLECTING FROM THE REAL TOPIC HERE: What you are all trying to throw everybody off by adding Chelsea Clinton INTO THE MIX. No can do, NOT.

THE REAL TOKIC HERE STILL REMAINS THE SAME: A 40 YR OLD MAN “BLACK MAN” INSULTED A WHITE TEENAGE GIRL.

OF ALL THE TEENAGE GIRLS OUT THERE INCLUDING HIS DAUGHTER, WHY DID HE SINGLE OUT MILEY? OH, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE CYRUS FAMILY ARE MCCAIN SUPPORTERS AND REDNECKS.

IS THAT THE REAL REASON JAMIE FOXX INSULTED MILEY?

I COULD POST PLENTY OF “BLACK JOKES” BUT I DON’T WANT TO RESORT TO JAMIE’S LEVEL.


- THE CYRUS FAMILY ARE MCCAIN SUPPORTERS AND REDNECKS.

the truth be known? chelsea clinton and miley cyrus are both white and that is what they both have in common.


They are not black girls.

come on people…..where is the fairness toward all mankind?

quit being so bigoted towards white people.

I am not here to win the popularity contest.

SHUT UP OR PUT UP


- chelsea clinton and miley cyrus are both white and that is
Posted 04/19/09 09:13 AM
 

WOW!!! where did this comparison of Miley and Chelsey come from? I really do not get it…. I think someone needs contacts or glasses Miley is a very pretty young girl Chelsey never was even slightly attractive but even so neither should be abused by ignorant adults black or white.. what is with all this racial BS they are just plain stupid,ignorant,idiots that talk like that and should be punished

TO: Tanya well there you are…Posted 04/18/09 08:54 AM: You are so right!!!!! There IS a nauseating pattern emerging - and it’s denied right to our faces. Underdogs come in EVERY color - but, not to the liberal media. Not a mention past a 4 line blurb about this idiot foxx and Ms Cyrus. Do you know why? Because ‘they’ don’t like Cyrus (she’s probably conservative) and they DO like foxx(mm, let’s see,who do you ya think he voted for?)THAT’S what ‘they’ go by now. Think back to when Miley posed in Vanity Fair. For some sick reason, the pprs couldn’t get enough of it. Weeks and weeks of coverage. Now, she’s a victim of a disgusting, sexist, perverted. and yes, racial verbal assault - nothing. Double standard, much? Remember Imus? Richards? Gibson? Remember SHARPTON all over them?? Remember the DEMAND (just to be rejected)for public and repeated apologies? I’m infuriated at this now even more as time goes on. Their subjective coverage based on whom ‘they’ anoint worthy is against every rule of journalism. This is in part what revs up everyone else - many are slaves to what they read, because they’re too lazy to do their own research. That’s why we’re in the boat we’re in now. People are like blind mice, following the liberal media’s lead, no matter what. They rule the coverage - they rule the mindsets. They say who remains unscathed, untouched, unbothered.

TANYA, THERE IS ANOTHER ANGRY WOMAN COMMENTOR BY THE NAME OF LATOYA, ARE YOU RELATED TO HER? READ HER COMMENTS ON ANOTHER STORY.


- HEY TANYA
Posted 04/18/09 09:19 AM
 

tanya well there you are , another commentor verbally assulting children. Now you are comparing Miley to Chelsea calling her Chesea’s twin. What is up with you f*cked up people. Tanya, PUT ON YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES AND ACT LIKE A WOMAN INSTEAD OF A SLUTTY PERSON. SHUT THE F*CK UP. GET A LIFE AND PLEASE LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE.

YOU ARE PROBABLY PART OF THE BLACK PANTHERS, AL SHARPTON AND JESSE JACKSON AND REV JEREMIAH WRIGHT.

AND TANYA, I THOUGHT THE NAACP WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP OTHERS BESIDES BLACK PEOPLE. YEAH RIGHT, I DIDN’T SEE THEM COME TO CHELSEA CLINTON OR MILEY CYRUS’S DEFENSE. WHY? BECAUSE NAACP IS BIASED AND DOESN’T DEFEND WHITE PEOPLE.

WHO THEN IS LEFT TO DEFEND THESE 2 GALS? HMMMM…LET ME LET THINK….I KNOW SEVERAL GROUPS THAT WOULD GLADLY DEFEND THESE 2 GALS,….BUT OF COURSE…THEY WOULD BE MET WITH OPPOSITION.

ONLY BLACK PEOPLE CAN PROTEST….ONLY BLACK PEOPLE CAN MARCH….IT IS NOT FAIR. ALL GROUPS FROM THE ARYANS TO THE NAACP SHOULD BE TREATED EQUALLY AND YET , THEY ARE NOT.

I AM THE LAST PERSON TO BE RACIST BUT THERE IS A PATTERN EMERGING, WITH BLACK PEOPLE. THERE SHOULD BE FAIRNESS ACROSS THE BOARD. ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, YET, IT SEEMS THAT THE WHITE PEOPLE ARE LOSING GROUND WHEN IT COMES TO FAIRNESS.

AND LIKE I SAID, I AM NO RACIST, I AM FOR THE UNDERDOG WHOMEVER THEY MAY BE. I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO BE TREATED EQUAL. NO SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR ANY RACE.

I agree that it’s very uncool for an adult to insult a teen like that….BUT- I have always found it odd that people used to go on about how what a horribly ugly teen Chelsey Clinton was ( and that was ok?) , but one remark about Miley ( Chelsey’s twin!) and it’s a huge deal….I don’t get it?

Welcome to the world, Trini. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. The rest of us have to rise above. Double standard, talking out of both sides of mouths,hating in others what they themselves do. That is who fair people are forever up against.


- the beginning of the end

Did ya’ll notice the NAACP didn’t do anything? I want to know why………. The NAACP is there like stink on poop when…….. a black person gets called names.

Why didn’t the NAACP……..come to Miley’s defense?


- Trini

I want to know why EXTRA is not talking about this. Why are you covering for Jamie Foxx when you didn’t give Imus a break? This is a huge double standard!!!
