Miley Cyrus ‘Embarrassed’ by Vanity Fair

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.”

miley is a teenage sl*t! she deserves the blame.

Miley, you’re obviously backtracking, doing damage control, and coming up with ultra lame excuses to justify. Too late, we already think you are a _____!! Shame, shame, shame on you. First, no shame and then, no backbone!! Busted and burned!!

Someone (her mom or dad maybe?) has to get a hold of this girl and move her into the right direction. Smack her across the face and tell her she’s only FIFTEEN! Why is she trying to act like an adult porn star? This seems to happen a lot with Disney doesn’t it?

If only Walt was still around….

god…. miley ur really really stupid. if you know everything you do is going to be on the public eye, and most of all your a DISNEY star now… honey you cant go around and take naughty pictures, ****** pictures and put them on the internet… gosh…. and second of all, that photo shoot wasnt spontanoius it was planned, ok… of course you knew what you where doing… good god … did you really think we where gonna buy that ?

That one girl @ 04/27/2008 at 10:40 pm

Artistic? Okay. Really, I’m not buying it either.

At a point of time, I looked up to her. Even though I’m only like 2 months older. I thought she was cool and hip when she was Hannah Montana. But once I saw her performance on American Idol, pictures that were leaked on the internet..I just thought, “Wow, she is making a fool of herself.” I don’t look up to her anymore. So many messed up things she did. Well not really, but still. Lindsay Lohan clone? I think so.

SHE IS SUCH A ***** WHO JUST WANTS ATTENTION. THIS IS DISGUSTING, LIKE CHILD PORNOGRAPHY!

She’s a girl who can’t wait to be old, but she has the brain of a 5 years old….what a clueless kid!!

“ok sweety we’re gonna need you to take your top off”
“isn’t that too much?”
“no it’s very artistic”
“really??…ok!!”

AND…she was supposed to see those pictures right AFTER the photoshoot and she still let them get published.
She knew what she was doing and that wasn’t one mistake!!

There have been 2 times now where her ’sexy’ myspace pics have hit the internet. So who leaked them??? hahahaha Guess who?
And now her and her parents did this photoshoot and blame the photographer/magazine???? Artistic??? Whatever. Think about it….how many awesome pics of Miley could of been taken for this cover, but they decide to take one like this???? STUPID.
Please, stop insulting my intelligence.

WHO THE **** CARES?!
younger people do photo shoots way worse than this
and its not even like shes doing anything inappropriate
shes covered up where nothings exposed
have you never seen a vanity fair cover before?!
they are ALL like this
just grow up and accept the fact that shes a teenager and shes going to mess up from time to time.

she is trying to look innocent, she knows that she lost fans cuz of this, and now she is saying that she didn’t know that the photos would turned like this.
MILEY, If you’re posing topless, it’s not gonna get on camera with clothes on!
There are 2 reason that she did this: for the attention, she noticed that the jonas brothers are getting more populair, miley loves all the attention, she loves the paparazzi, she even invited them to Nashville, but didn’t follow her, so that’s why leaked the Myspace photos, so she would get the attention back, but the paparazzi still don’t come to Nashville, so i’m wondering what she would do next.
and alsoto get away from her hannah montana / disney image,

Hakuna Matata..

So much for being that 12 year old Hannah Montana that these kiddies thought they knew.

Seriously, its either she was drugged up or she wanted her image portrayed as a ****. You choose, Miley.

Your self-image is sinking lower… and lower.. and lower.

I honestly cannot wait how her new little album is going sound like — lyric-wise.

“I stand out in da clubz, they won’t let me in because I’m 15.. So I tell ‘em that I am Smiley, they let me in kindly. I go home with some fo’ that I don’t even know. The next morning I wake up, wit ma drinkz all around me, with this playa right beside me. I take a prego test, to see if I’m a pest.. I’m having triplets!”

She’s getting stupid-er by the second, seriously.

OmG! some of you act like just because your 15 means that your not capable of thinking! … Sure .. her parents are partially to blame for this.. but if anything Miley is even more to blame!.. It doesn’t matter that she’s 15 she knows what she was doing.. and she could have said no .. regardless that fact that she was being photographed by a very experienced photographer .. she could have said NO this is too far.. the fact that she NOW is saying that she’s embarrassed over these photos is just a way to get sympathy votes for herself.. anyone who feels sorry for this girl are just complete idiots for falling for the fakest apology ever! ..

Do you actually believe that these are the first time she’s seen the pics! .. After they take the pics they show it to Miley and the people she’s with .. clearly she approved of it .. and is she stupid enough to not know what she was saying during the interview! My gosh .. if this is how people precieve 15 year olds to be .. as stupid people who can’t think for themselves then you know what that’s really sad.. cuz that’s how Miley is… and that’s not how a lot of 15 year olds are..

she’s stupid for even agreeing to go with an edgy photoshoot like this .. the whole article of her apology was just her saying that she was a stupid child and a victim to the whole situation! ..

The fact is that she knew what she was doing .. and her apology couldn’t be even more fake than her personality and how she comes off to be .. As far as much of the comments on this site goes.. she’s lost plenty of respect of the people in the society and maybe even some of her fans.. which i seriously can’t even understand why people are still fans of hers ..

And don’t any of you say that “she made a mistake .. people make mistakes” … Yeah people do make mistakes.. but people don’t make the same mistakes 3 or 4 times like Miley has .. This whole good girl act that she’s trying to portray has been fake all along..

i think her “BFF” mandy has changed her alot! she used to be a girl taht little girls looked up to and she was like by adults to but ever since she and mandy became friends, she has turned into a little ****. think about it, once mandy came along she gt dumped my Nick, lost Lesley pretty much as a friend, moved on to taking really grody pics of herself for myspace and she moved on to a new boy toy who plays beer pong, and is always around other girls. Her dad and her old friends need to sit her down and show her how much disasters Mandy has caused her… i do feel sorry for miley. i think she just needs to be away from mandy long enough to see her old friends and turn back into the miley we all used to like. Good thing she is in Tennessee with her family and her old friends and SOOO FAR AWAY FROM MANDY!!

hot as ice @ 04/27/2008 at 11:00 pm

she will. Be paris + britney + Lindsay = miley^3 she will be in rehab in 2 years and in one year she will have a sex tape

Monkez rule!!! Miley sux @ 04/27/2008 at 11:05 pm

Miley is definitely a ****! Annie does a lot of the vanity fair covers. She wouldn’t decieve a 15 year old!!! Obviously Disney is trying to cover up 4 their moneymakers lack of sense! That’s not being harsh. I liked Miley at first, but she is obviously headed down a bad road. People may say she’s the next Vanessa Hudgens, but there’s a difference. VH learned from her scandal , MC hasn’t.

she had a lot of “mistakes” this year…she should have learned when the first set of myspace pics leaked. how dumb are you to post ****** pics of you on the internet unless u’re a stripper or myspace *****

Miley, Miley,Miley. Girl- do you think the rest of us were born yesterday? My dear YOU were born yesterday but you sure ain’t so dumb now are ya. Golly gee. News flash-no 15 year old should be in ANY magazine topless- the implication of the photos is SEX. PERIOD. Nice move Annie Liebowitz and Vanity Fair- I did not know kid porno was chic. I won’t be buying your magazine again anytime soon. You all just lost my respect. And Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus- you two are a joke. SELL OUTS. You were away from the shoot when this happened- B.S. people. But go ahead and live off your daughters riches-cash the check she earned by baring her childhood to pedophiles and go buy yourself something shiny and expensive. I have six nieces and will not be buying them one thing Miley ever again.

I guess God’s ok with Miley lying as long as it’s for damage control.

She looks like a used up, beat up crack ***** in that picture. Disgusting.

she looks like smiggle from lord of the rings in that pic

wtf?
Give Miley a break. I think everyone is way too caught up on it. SHE DID IT TO GET PAID. Lots of actresses do it. shut up. -.

-
And for those saying that Miley is going to ruin Disney channel, most kids who watch Disney channel don’t even read that magazine. I don’t read it. I don’t plan on reading it. The only way they’d know about this is because parents talk about it. Or people on the internet are writing about it. GAWD.

and as for those personal pictures, they were PERSONAL.

It doesn’t mean your nosey ass has to go look at her PERSONAL pictures. >.
