Miley Cyrus ‘Embarrassed’ by Vanity Fair

Miley Cyrus says that she’s “embarrassed” about semi-topless photographs of herself in the June 2008 issue of Vanity Fair.

“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,” says the 15-year-old Disney sensation, who posed with a blanket wrapped around her chest. “I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.”

A Disney Channel spokesperson adds: “Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines.”

The Miley photos, which were taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair, hits newsstands next week.

UPDATE 1: People reports that Miley’s parents left before the final picture at the photo shoot but her grandmother and teacher were there. Miley also added, “My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy. For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie. 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. 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.”

UPDATE 2: The New York Times has a piece on Miley’s topless photo scandal. The Vanity Fair article was written by Bruce Handy and quotes Miley as saying, “Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought it was really cool. That’s what she wanted me to do, and you can’t say no to Annie.” She also said of the photo, “I think it’s really artsy. It wasn’t in a skanky way.”

It is one thing for her to apoligize for the pics that showed up w/ her showing her bra but for those done in a photo shoot by Annie for Vanity Fair is BS. She knew what she was doing. As evidenced by her non professional pics she thinks she is sexy & wants to be considered so by the world. She also claims she stays grounded by her faith & family. Where was all that during the photo shoot? A 15 year old girl going on 30 is not going to be manipulated into doing something she doesn’t want to do, especially someone w/ her celebrity & w/ her team of people & her mom around. Disney probably got pissed & that is who pays her bills so she had to back peddle. She is a joke. Total wannabe. It is time for her to go away now.

ilovemiley @ 04/27/2008 at 7:40 pm

its ok girl!
we love u

BULL!!!! She is backtracking. She obviously knew what the hell was going on and it’s so stupid that she’s blaming vanity fair and one of the best photographers in the world Annie saying she was manipulated. She is 15 and she knew every second of the shoot what was implied. No one was taking advantage of her. I think Disney knew about it and from fan and parent outrage they were forced to disassociate themselves and miley from the pictures. It’s RIDICULOUS!!! We know you want someone to blame Disney and Miley when you were very aware what you were doing. Vanity fair is a respectful women’s magazine and Annie is a WOMAN! why would she deliberately exploit a 15 year old girl? No one put a gun to your head MILEY!

I DON’T BUY IT FOR ONE MINUTE!

She knew what she was doing. Apology not accepted.

why would a 15 year old even think about posing semi-topless for a magazine at all….

kara Fowler @ 04/27/2008 at 7:41 pm

oh come on… annie leibovitz is an incredibly experienced, renowned photographer, it’s not like it’s some sketchy smut. Miley is young, yes, but she and her people made a choice…

tinkerbell @ 04/27/2008 at 7:43 pm

i still cant believe she would actually do this!

Damage Control

Give me a break. There’s been enough photos to suggest she knows full well what she is doing. Too bad Mom and Dad seem to be MIA to put on the brakes.

Sure Miley. Sure. You were naked, topless, whatever it was. You knew you didn’t have a top on didn’t you? Or did you think they were going to “digitalize” it on? Please.

wow what is going on?

Little miss sunshine @ 04/27/2008 at 7:46 pm

She had the choice and she chose wrongly. She has to learn from her mistakes.

Manipulate?? why would the parents of a 15 year old girl let her do this in the first place?

So not buying it. She has people, parents, etc.

Her Mom can go with her for coffee, but doesn’t go and approve pics showing up on a cover of a mag.

I blame Miley, her parents, the photo. and Vanity Fair.

OMG who was the sicko that comvinced her to do this?! I really feel bad for her. But is is really nice that she came out and apoligized to the fans.

why did she do it in the first place dumbass

When I first read this, I thought how could she not know what it would look like. The I realized she’s FiFTEEN, the age where little girls start thinking they’re grown but are not. This is all on her parents one of them should have stepped up and just said no.

clearly it’s not fake! .. atleast she apologized to her fans.. she’s still an idiot and i can’t believe she had the guts to blame the photographer for this.. it was her an her parents decision .. she should feel embarassed!

and her quote “i’m going to make mistakes i’m not perfect. i’ll learn from my mistakes.. ” blah blah blah.. is complete BULL! . learning from her mistakes ya right! .. this is what like the 3 time you had to learn from your mistake??

wow .. i guess her plan to have all the attention on her has finally worked. it’s sickening to see her on Vanity Fair ..

Unfortunatley for me and a ton of other people i’m sure .. that fake apology is basically saying that OJ Simpson didn’t kiss his wife.. fake fake fake.. there’s no way in getting out of this now miley ..

kiss your fans goodbye ..

I love miley, shes got away with words!
I support you miley and i know you will learn from your mistakes.
I love your pictures, nude or note- YOU ROCK!

LMAOOO LOSER @ 04/27/2008 at 7:50 pm

I knew her damage control team would use the word “artistic” to describe the shoot.

not even a full day and there already doing damage control. hahahaha

why she even do it?
im a huge fan but so confused.

why would her parents let her do this in the effing first place?
gross!

I’m not buying it. I think she is full of sh*t.

Linda Blair @ 04/27/2008 at 7:51 pm

Sorry, but she looks like the possessed chick from The Exorcist in this photo.

haha i mean OJ simpson didn’t kill his wife.. and i agree.. she’s 15 mega successful .. she knows what she was doing .. she has no one to blame but herself!

Im sorry but i do not feel sorry for her at all. How many times are we suppose to but these I’m embarassed stories and i have learned from my mistakes. This is what her 5th photo scandal? Every time new pics come out the statements basically say the same thing. I am soooo tired of heraing the same thing. Her parents are at just as much fault as anyone

Stupid Girl @ 04/27/2008 at 7:51 pm

Miley doesnt care that people hate this cover. Its her team of handlers who issue this statement to save her face

i think that’s artistic. Because she’s 15, that’s why she announced that statement. I love Annie’s work and somewhat likes Miley..
anyway, i can’t wait to see the pic! in the issue.

Poor Miley? Are you kidding me? She did this herself. At any point during that photoshoot she was uncomfortable, she could have declined to do what they were asking her to do or do something else. She chose to do this and as soon as there was negative backlash against someone who touts herself as a role model for young girls posing provocatively, she tried to backtrack and make it sound like she didn’t know what she was doing. She knew what she was doing and if she didn’t, then that is a sign that she should not have the fame that she has. If she can’t see that her behavior (this photoshoot, her ****** myspace photos) will be judged by the parents of the children who look up to her, she is fast on her way to being like Paris, Britney(unless Britney has a real mental illness, in which case, she can’t help it.), Lindsay, etc.

doesn’t she have parents to go with her to the photo shoots??

tinseltown @ 04/27/2008 at 7:52 pm

yeah right.. okay we hate you miley. go and die

The picture ain’t that pretty! She looked fugly and ****. Cheap shot.

Let me just say this. Why does everyone here support these people when they do bad things OMG. You guys are out of your minds. Miley does she is 15 she has fans that are 12 and younger, what is that going to tell these kids. But there are people still out there, who support her bad behavior. I don’t get it. If that was my daughter, I would punish her until the cows get home. You don’t do that. Give me a break. didn’t we all learn from Vanessa Hudgens not to pose, and take pictures because they could leak. I mean come on. I have much respect for Vanessa Hudgens. Because, she took those before she was famous, and accidently leaked. I have no sympothy for Miley, she posted herself on Myspace. I know a lot of you are going to bash mouth me, and that’s okay. I don’t care what you guys have to say. Just go ahead and say it. I wish that people stop thinking that she is innocent. She is not innocent and she is not a good role model.

alexandra @ 04/27/2008 at 7:53 pm

POOR MILEY!!!!
She don’t deserve this!
This is bad!!!!
I tottaly support Miley!

oh PUH lease. Vanity Fair released a statement saying that Miley, her parents, and some other people SAW the photo when it was taken because it was taken digitally and they loved it. They thought she looked beautiful.

Stop with the f*u*c*k*i*n*g sob story, Miley. No one’s buying it.

She looks like she just ate a baby.

Kikigirl101 @ 04/27/2008 at 7:57 pm

That’s all BS!!! She knew what she was doing. She knew what she was getting into when she had to shoot for ‘Vanity Fair’ it’s a magazine that is known for its sexy pictures of artists and a bunch of models. She can’t be that stupid! How the heck could her parents let her do that. She’s freakin 15!!! The pictures of her in a bra and underwear is her just being a stupid teenager and fooling around. But being topless in an actual photo shoot is serious. It was planned and everything. Her parents say they keep her grounded and that she’s a normal teenager, that they only want the best for her but is the best thing for her to be posing topless in magazines. What’s next? playboy?

xx-stella-xx @ 04/27/2008 at 7:57 pm

BULLSH*T.shes only sayin it bcoz of all the bad publicity shes gettin.

xx-stella-xx @ 04/27/2008 at 7:57 pm

BULLSH*T.shes only sayin it bcoz of all the bad publicity shes gettin.

luv vanessa @ 04/27/2008 at 7:58 pm

i still think shes ******.

So lame. It shouldn’t matter if it’s supposed to be “artistic.” She’s 15 years old.

lovee mileyy!! <3333
im glad she apoligized for those pics and has learned her lesson b/c she’s one of mt favorite stars….I don’t want her to ever changee!!!!! :D
loveeee mileyy cyrus

I kinda feel bad for her because her parents didn’t do anything to stop her from this photo shoot. She is 15 didn’t they realize that if anything it would royally screw over her reputation. I never thought the pictures of her in her underwear or with her boyfriend were bad because well she is a teenager and that’s kinda what we do. but i don’t think i have ever seen any 15 year olds topless in a magazine and why… because they have parents and reps that keep them from making stupid mistakes like that. weather they took advantage of her or not her parents should have stopped her from even going to this photo shoot.

i love miley but honestely, that’s ****. she’s fifteen, she knew what she was doing. she knew what she was doing in that photoshoot and all those other pictures that have leaked on the internet. if she really is that vulnerable, she should not be in the hollywood spotlight.

IF ANYONE IS TO BLAME- IT’S HER PEOPLE AND HER PARENTS.

Miley is 15 people, 15!

It would be her parents or whoever was there that told her the pictures looked okay. Miley obviously didn’t say ‘ hey guys, i want to take a picture with a blanket over me’
So, I would say whoever persuaded her ( the photographer) and others who told her they were artistic and looked great, are more to blame than she is.
Still, I personally do think they are artistic and pretty, but coming amidst all of this, isn’t helping any.

She’s so FAAAALSE!
she only wants to be innocent if it is good for her…
what a wh***

Aww!!

I still support Miley, and I agree.
Everyone is gonna make mistakes in life, and there is nothing you can do about it.

We aren’t perfect.

I dont understand i mean 4 the pics when she was with the boy she was being a teen n her parents prob didnt no about them but the vanity fair photos really i mean where were her parents to say no i dont want u doing this

this is bull. she knew what she was doing. i’m so sick of all her attention, she can’t sing and she can’t act. all her apology statements are the freakin same. and she’s always going on about how her family keeps her grounded, i don’t see how a 15 can do that & everything be ok at home, especially with all her other pictures.

shes on her way to destruction…

ok first of all, how could she not think it was not ****** to take a picture holding up only a sheet to cover her???? and anyways this pic makes her look mlike a vampire… i knwo it isn’t really her fault for this picture but still she took ALLLLLLL thos eother pics of herself.

Where were her parents? First, since she’s 15, at least one should be there for all photoshoots. Second, it’s hard to believe her parents couldn’t see and/or approve the photos.

“Ate a baby” Ha thats funny.

When you’re in a photoshoot, and you’re done taking the pictures, the photographer lets you see it afterwards. Not in Americas Next Top Model obviously but in real life modeling for celebs they usually let them see a peek. So that whole, “I had no idea it would look like that” crap is so false. I don’t even know who told her to say that cause most know thats not true.

“I’m not perfect.” Ha. Thats a bit of a understatement.

I think Disney should be very careful. First, Annie Lebowitz is “artistic” and Vanity Fair is a respected publication. I’m sorry that Disney’s stable of teen girls can’t behave - with provocative at home photo shoots and teen pregnancies, but that isn’t the fault of Vanity Fair. I believe that Miley and her family knew exactly what they were doing, and only after the green bra photos hit the internet are they now “embarassed” by this “unfortunate” manipulation of their “girl”.

How could she not know what she was doing
and lets say teenagers are vulnerable
WHY are her parents allowing it?
“everything i do is for jesus”
-Miley Cyrus
is this for jesus too?
I’m not sure jesus would approve.

obviously she knew what she was doing…when you are 15, you can’t be that dumb. The only reason she is saying this because now she knows that people don’t like it, and she’s afraid of losing it all!

Responding to MILEY CYRUS’ statement that she feels “embarrassed” by an upcoming photo of her semi-topless in the new Vanity Fair issue, editors at the mag tell ET: “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. In fact, when BRUCE HANDY interviewed Miley, he asked her about the photo and she was very cheerful about it and thought it was perfectly fine.”

i don’t forgiv e her one bit. I liked her at one point and i didn’t at another. I liked her again but now it’s just gone way too far with this “pictures” deal. SHE’S the manipulator to all of AMERICA she’s manipulated everyone around even THE JONAS BROTHERS and i’m not gonna stand for this she needs to be…to be…GROUNDED!!!

the first time she did i was like oh ok at least she apologized and explained herself for it but this is like the 3rd time already enough is enough. My little Sister is a fan and i made her look at all her provocative pictures and she’s so sad that she would do this. I made her throw away all her cds and other hannah montana crap

Well Count Dracula, thats what you get for trying to grow up too fast.

aw i love miley =]

I’m glad she apologized, but there’s no way a 15 year old doesn’t know what’s going on. She was there when the photo was taken. She posed for it. It’s not like someone forced her to take her shirt off and pose topless. She wasn’t manipulated because she did this willingly and with the intent of the picture being seen.

Ugh, that Christian and Disney brainwashed kid is so annoying. Why doesn’t she just apologize for her “music”? THAT would make sense.

haha. she dosent feel bad, she is just saying that so she can cover up that she is really a ****!

beach_ball @ 04/27/2008 at 8:10 pm

please that is completly stupid, if she didn’t want to do it she shouldn’t have had to… She chose to. she’s not 3 years old, she’s 15! she new this one for a magazine it wasn’t like her little photographs all over the next when she exposes herself in a bra or panties with her girlfrieds, which I think is worse.
This is a totally elegant picture, and she apologizes for this intead of showing her green bra to everyone…
she’s a moron…

what about her hooker pictures she took with her friends? They were worse than t his!

Miley Thanks 4 apologizing

go annie lebowitz…she is the only true artist in this scenario.

MAN she is one dumb ****!

she is full of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i’m really glad that she was able to apologize and be mature about this whole situation. i do honestly think that she is a good kid, she just slips sometimes- everyone does. :)

go miley !! :D

I’m not buying this whole i’m embarrassed crap the only reason whys he’s feeling like this is because she knows this isn’t the first time and she knows this can instantly tarnished her career as it should!

im not bying it.
slutt!
YEAH RIGHT.
“she is SORRY”

shes soooooooooANNOYING.

BAD ROLE MODEL

The point should be, is why at 15 would she allow anyone to take these pics in the first place. I call bullshit on her story. Disney better start cracking down on these wholesome ho’s their sellin’ to the kiddies.

“People reports that Miley’s parents left before the final picture at the photo shoot but her grandmother and teacher were there”

Miley: “That’s what she (Annie) wanted me to do, and you can’t say no to Annie.”

Annie Leibovitz is a shark folks. She even asked the Queen of England to take off her crown but she is wiser than 15yo Miley.

Way to go Annie. You waited until the parents left and moved in like a shark. Disgusting manipulating creature.

wow. some of you people are actually believing this disgusting 15 year old’s BULL? she knew exactly what she was doing. just like she knew exactly what she doing the 3 other times she took pictures of herself. and that apology obviously was forced and done just so her reputation wouldn’t go down more than it is. and in the ‘apology’ she says she will ‘learn from her mistakes’? you’ve already made 3 mistakes, idiot- and obviously, you haven’t learned. wow, does she really think she will convince people that she didn’t know what she was doing? that she thought topless photos were going to turn out ‘artistic’? come on.

I’m literally showing this pic to all my Sister’s little friends because they were watching hannah montana they are outraged they turned off the tv in disgust.

she wanted that picture to be taken!did it ever occur to her that shes just 15 and mostly her fans are 12andbelow! and shes calling that picture “artsy” ?? what a ****!! from the moment she became famous i knew that shes guna be the next lindsay lohan! ****!

I don’t really like her, but it is easy for things to spin out of control and even though it started with the right intentions, to be seen as something it wasn’t supposed to be. I hope things work out for her.

Where are the Jonas Brothers and Brenda Song? They need to come and support her now.

I somehow feel sorry for her. However it’s suspicious that she’s suddenly embarrased by the photoshoot. You and your grandmother were not embarrased when it was being taken? What did your parents think?

I just feel that with the noise over internet pictures (which were not really bad to me) not dying away quietly and ET covering the photoshoot, Disney and her parents decided to do damage control.
I’m sure they saw the picture and article before ET got it. It seemed they waited to guage reactions before acting.

This doesn’t make her a bad girl, it just makes her parents and family quite irresponsible and hypocritical. They know her fanbase, they could have said no. They also know she’s at the age where she needs careful guidance and they abandoned that responsibility.

The photographer, Annie, is world renowned and Miley blames the entire thing on her. Come on. Miley knew showing up to the shoot what she was going to be doing. As always, the Vanity Fair photos are gorgeous, but Miley needs to learn about what she is getting into before she turns around and points the finger at someone else.

his doesn’t make her a bad girl, it just makes her parents and family quite irresponsible and hypocritical. They know her fanbase, they could have said no. They also know she’s at the age where she needs careful guidance and they abandoned that responsibility.

No it makes her look stupid for believing this was artistic she’s 15 not 4 she’s a ***** and her career is going to go down!

The girl may be famous and a celebrity but she is still only 15 years old - where were her parents when this unfortunate and irresponsible photosession took place?

And I must say that I am more than a little surprised that Annie Leibowitz who usually is such a good photographer wanted to do these tasteless half naked photos of a 15 year old girl!

for frigs sake, are you kidding me? is this girl for real? what’s the big deal? srsly doesn’t she have people who advise her on all this stuff? I do not believe for one second that she was manipulated into anything.

ROCK ON MILEY!! This magazine tricked a 15 year old girl into this picture!! NEVER BUYING VANITY FAIR AGAIN!!!

BOB I suggest you read this before making anymore comments!

Responding to MILEY CYRUS’ statement that she feels “embarrassed” by an upcoming photo of her semi-topless in the new Vanity Fair issue, editors at the mag tell ET: “Miley’s parents and/or minders were on the set all day.

In fact, when BRUCE HANDY interviewed Miley, he asked her about the photo and she was very cheerful about it and thought it was perfectly fine.”

I honestly don’t see why people are all upset about the VF photograph. Yes, she is fifteen, but the photo shows less skin than we would see of her wearing a normal, one-piece swim suit. The pose seems tasteful to me. I wouldn’t want my daughter doing it at fifteen, but after all of the photos that Miley has taken and posted of herself at this point, I would probably just be thankful the ***** put a sheet on this time.

I’m personally only offended by how she looks from the neck up in it.

I have to say, the friend pictures were with her friends and like she didnt know they were going to be posted all over the web but this is different she got paid by doing this photo. I have to say i gave up on her from this day on.

i feel bad for her, but i dont believe that wasnt fully aware of what she was doing when she took that photo. she’ll have to learn from this mistake.

she looks emaciated.. its not a good picture.

did she serously think that they would like, photoshop clothes on her?! SHE POSED FOR ANNIE! she allowed it. plus, she’s had like, 4 “mistakes”! i mean, we know nobody’s perfect, but FOUR times!?! you’d think she’d learn!

jeeeze miley!
your loosing your fans, girl.

OH MY GOD! POOR MILEY, BUT WELL, MILEY YOU SHOULD BE MUCH MORE CAREFULL, YOU WORK FOR KIDS, IN DISNEY REMEMBER?

I’M YOUR FAN’TILL THE END, BUT PLEASE BE CAREFULL :S

Miley messes up so she turns around and points fingers. How old are you sweetheart, 3? It was YOUR choice and nobody else’s. Learn to take responsiblity for your actions. You would think by 15 a girl would be able to do that….. we have another Paris in the making….

artistic photo+15 year old child+ holding a sheet+ come hither look= soft core photograph

i feel bad for miley because it must be hard being in show business….i support miley 100%….dont always agree with everything she does but i dont agree with everything anyone does so yea

i wish miley all the best!

POOR MILEY SHE WAS MANIPULATED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND THAT PIC IS NOT SO BAD I MEAN SHES NOT NAKED LIKE VANESSA OR WHATEVER AND SHE WAS THINKIN THAT WAS ATISTIC SO I SUPORT HER !!!!!!!!! MILEY WE ALWAYS LOVE U

POOR POOR MILEY !!!!!!!!!!!

you didn’t realize that you had no shirt on? “Artsy?” You’re fifteen-you don’t need to be “artsy”!! I don’t get it… how was the situation manipulated?

come on miley…start wearing some clothes. first the stupid myspace pics of you trying to be grown up, and then this?

Ok, the leaked ohotos were one thing-they were supposed to be private anyway-nobody was supposed to see them, so it’s not a big deal at all, just an unfortunate thing that they got out.

But as for the Vanity Fair ones, that is completley innappropriate, and her apology is total bull. Also, “you can’t say no to Annie”, um when your a 15 year old “good girl” and she asks you to pose like that, you need to get a backbone and stand your ground…

Miley obviously wanted to take those photos!

I fell really bad for her …
this Annie suck

she’s so ridicules
he’s patetic
and tour of this site for losing time talk about her
the persons like she are complet stupid
this is not most important thing of the wolrd
GROW UP

she’s so ridicules
he’s patetic
and your too, of this site for losing time talk about her
the persons like she are complet stupid
this is not most important thing of the wolrd
GROW UP

she’s so ridicules
he’s patetic
and your too, of JUST JARED for losing time talk about her
the persons like she are complet stupid
this is not most important thing of the wolrd
GROW UP

Wait, so why exactly is she embarrassed? She had seen and approved these photos before they were going to be published! What she should be embarrassed about is her myspace photos not the magazine shoot!

She truly is the next Britney Spears/Lindsay Lohan…..x 10

Lindsay only just recently did a photo shoot like that, and she is 21

I don’t understand why her parents left before the final pictures were taken or why the adults who were left didn’t object to them. I’m not sorry for Miley, she obviously knew what she was doing. Being a CHRISTIAN as she calls herself, she knows that talking off her clothes in front of a camera is not something to do. IF she’s going to talk it, she ought to walk it or shut up. I also boo the magazine and photographer for doing such a thing, they should at least have SOME integrity. They knew they were dealing with a 15 year old DISNEY star. They’re not stupid enough not to know there would be plenty of flack for this. They just didn’t care as long as they were making money. I don’t know what ‘ support team’ she’s going to trust. Where the hell were they when this fiasco was happening?

tell-tale @ 04/27/2008 at 8:39 pm

somebody @ 04/27/2008 at 8:34 pm

dude, she IS naked like vanessa. the only difference is she posed naked, nowing full well the photos wuld be on the cover of a magazine. just bcuz she thot wat she was doing was artistic, doesnt make it any less bad. in fact, it makes her stupid, since wen is a 15 year old posing naked for a magazine cover artistic? and she was actually pleased with it till the backlash. she new exactly wat she was doing and she did it anyways. and now shes pointing fingers at 1 of the best phtographers out there, blaming Annie for her mistake. quit making excuses for miley. she messed up, badly.

i love miley and i support her 110%

Don’t bring Vanessa into this. She took private pictures BEFORE she became famous that leaked. She apologised IMMEDIATELY to her fans without pointing ant fingers. She took RESPONSIBILITY for her poor judgement and weathered it.
Go and take a look at her GQ photoshoot and Flaunt magazine (ARTISTIC) photoshoot. She’s fully clothed and she’s 19.

When Miley’s fans were abusing Vanessa left right and center, they never realised that this could happen to Miley. Now you’re all trying to explain it away when she was paid to sit for this, who is the hypocrite now?

I feel sorry for her but they shouldn’t pass the blame, they should accept responsibility for the photoshoot. Nobody is perfect but she was not manipulated. Period!

I think the pictures are sad. Miley has a little baby face. VF sucks a** for running with this cover. Its one step above kiddie por n.

Mileys awsome and i totally know how she would think this is artistic and everybody makes mistakes right?I mean just leave her alone shes a good girl she obviously doesnt like it so why would they continue to sell the mag?Vanity Fair is just money hungry they used miley because she has a lot of star power

LOL, she can keep apologizing all she wants but it doesn’t make the situation any better for her. Of course she knew very well what she was doing at the time of the photoshoot, and should have thought about the fact that she’s only 15 and that surely everyone would get the wrong impression. She keeps making the same mistakes over and over again, she’ll never learn!

oh STFU. Her parents knowingly gave consent. This is more like them waiting to see the response and since it was negative now they’re trying to backtrack and act like the victim. Miley is just a tool in this entire money making/attention seeking scheme. But no way in hell is she embarrassed, she loves this. And all disney cares about is money but no matter what they want, really at the moment she’s bigger than them, they can’t do anything to her so they just have to agree and support her. She unlike other disney stars is entirely their product and their employee so I wish that once her star starts to fade (hopefully but unlikely soon) they’ll get rid of her. Ofcourse there’s always going to be the new miley coming…it never ends.

this is all BS she is trying to be the good guy (in this case girl) but she knew what she was doing when those pics were getting taken she is a total s*u* but i knew this was coming from the moment i first saw her ugly ass face

You go RUTH. GO RUTH. Couldn’t have said better myself.

Disney is falling to the ground. the people on Disney are now all crying, this has happened, there precious teen idol doing something so stupid.

if u guys believe her then shes gonna keep doing this again and again and saying sorry and then keep doing it and then saying sorry
thats wutz gunna happen the more u believe her
she’s gunna be a lindsay/paris/nicole/britney ect
dont get me wrong i love those girls(not like that ahha)
but miles starting at a young age.

she has lost so many fans with this!
And did she do this photoshoot for Jesus too huh??

Where are all the people who should be mad at VF for going with this cover??? They put a 15 year old kid on the cover of their “rag”. Wearing nothing but mess hair and a bed sheet. The over all feeling of the picture is “afterglow”. So VF is in the kid skin business. Yes Miley should have known better but VF should have too.

oh my gosh you guys are really really harsh. Of couse Miley should take some blame in this, and not try and shift it on others, but you have to see that she did apologize and i’m sure she’s truly sorry. She’s only 15 years old and one of the hottest stars being watched at all times. 15 year old girls do do things like take provocative photos and usually nothing more happens, but unfortunatly for her they get out there and people criticize her like crazy which probably does not do much for her self esteem. Please just lay off for like, 2 seconds and it would make this load a lot lighter on her.

Sorry for my spelling too, it’s quite hard typing in the dark ;)

she seems an anorexic girl.
duuh she’s so ugly

Really, she knew she didn’t have a top on.
so i don’t care if it was sopose to be artistic.
she knew what was going on.
and that to me isn’t a pretty picture, or artistic.
i find it really unattractive.

and seriously shes 15.
and topless?
she’s going down from here.

wait a minute. NO ONE HELD A GUN TO HER HEAD. TO SAY TAKE THESE PICTURES. NO ONE. SHE IS NOT INNOCENT. 15 is still very responisable. Why will make you guys think she is not innocent. when she poses naked on playboy, or Victoria Secret. Or when she does a movie with no clothes on. Come on give me a break people. She is not innocent, she never was and never will. If I was the president of Disney she would be fired. 1x okay, 2x pushing it 3x what on god’s green earth are you doing now. 4x your fired.
