OlderMiley 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.”

miley u rock
im sorry for you!
dont worry its ok girl!

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.
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….
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…
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?
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.
