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.”

I love miley but what she did was really really dumb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i thought she would be smarter than this
atleast she apologised
i just hope she wont do anything dumb like this again!!!!!!!!

i didnt like her from the start. now look what she has done! taking half nud pics, showing her bra, and the myspace pics! its crazy!! its like another lohan or another brittney! shes gonna ruin her life. this is just the begginging! its gonna come spiraling down untill theres nothing left but a ruined teen-age pop star. she wont even be a pop star, she gonna be a ruin teen age girl. what is this supposed to show all the people who love her? like the little kids, what r they going to think, it’s ok to pose for nud pics? post almost half naked pics on myspace? what r thay going to say if they do? its ok mommy mylie did it and shes on tv! this is crazy and shes crazy! damage control isnt going to work forever she cnt rely on her people to take care of it. im mean its just total BS! oh im soo sorry i took those bad pics and showed u my bra but its ok, i no u will accept my apalogie bc im mylie cyrus! its not gonna work this time around.she says he going to ‘learn from her mess ups.’ but she messed up 3 BIG TIMES! i hate her and dont think shes worth it. its complete BULL! and were wer her parent? cheering her on? go mylie! go ruin ur life forever! i hink se should be done, gone forever, no more ’second’ chances.

it her fault! if she is that stupid to take those bad pics…she desirves it!

dumb, she knew hat she was doing. No one takes pictures like that without knowing what they were doing even if they were forced. All this fame is going to her head and now she thinks she is going to be a sex icon as well. The little girls don’t want to see their idol half naked in a magazine or anywhere else. She is old enough to make her own decisions and to anticipate the consequences. She can’t blame anyone else. There are millions of other fifteen year old girls who don’t pose half naked in front of a camera.

Miley loverrrrr. =) @ 04/28/2008 at 6:25 pm

i really like miley, i am a huge fan i feel like everybody is making
such a big deal about a shoot where nothing is really exposedd
she is completely covered so its not like we can see her *******
tits or somethign or her ****** it just like her having a litle dress
on or something. so back off fuckersssssssss. -loveyahmileyyyy

y are ppl feeling sorry for her. she made thismistake before y is it ok for her to get ou tof it so easy. ur not learning from ur mistakes. once u make a mistake after u do it again its not a mistaake anymore. goodness. wat the crack she is jus so annoying wit her photo scandels and ppl need to stop pickin up for her once she sees tht her fans arent wit her anymore thn she would notice tht they dont like it n i shouldnt do it. this isnt a mistake. uggh she makes me so upset.

She is no innocent little girl. She is probably creating more static electricity between her sheets than any of the pathetic people who give a crap. Hey Miley, want to come over to my house? We could eat Fruity Pebbles and Pop Tarts and wash id down with some Sunny-D. Then play hide and seek. As soon as you turn 18 I think you should call Larry Flint. Let’s see what you’re made of.

I think the New York Post has no right to blow this out of preportion nobody made a big deal when Lindsay posed COMPLETELY NUDE (Take it she is older but still a child actor) and now Miley has a satin sheet pressed against her chest and it’s the end of the world. Oh my god. She’s 15 yes but as she stated don’t blame her for making mistakes, she’d a normal person, whether you believe it or not and if you have something to write bad about Miley then you need to look in the mirror and check reality their are people in the entertainment world that are doing stuff worse than having a sheet over their chests. This picture is beautiful and Miley is a very beautiful and artistic girl and she deserves all the support she can get. And as for any pictures posted on the web of her you can just hold you tongue because their are far worse pictures on the peoples myspace’s who write bad about a sweet young girl. So before you talk I say look in the mirror and don’t take something so harshley. Miley handles these situations very well and I respect that. And to Luvn_hollywood11 she did get grounded but this was for a photoshoot and if you would read before you talk her family left except for her grandmother and teacher and so Trish (her Mom) was there she probally would have put her foot down. And how do you know she didn’t ground her for this you don’t live with her. Miley was there with herself making the decisions and so she chose a wrong move. In the long run this picture is beautiful and Miley should respect that she has the ability to take such beautiful photos. Never blame someone for their opinion because some people make mistakes yes and I’m sure everybody has something they wish they could take back so next time read the whole story or don’t open your mouth. Miley is beautiful and will still make it far and thats that.

I Love You Miley don’t be ashamed.

Alic

I think those pictures are artistic, and she sshouldnt be apologizing for these beautiful pictures!

The media has nothing to talk about so any little like this becomes a huge story!

what i dont agree is the other racy pictures of her and her bra and underwear she should have been embarrassed of those.

Not these!

The media should back off seriouslly….

Jesse pennington @ 04/28/2008 at 6:38 pm

Miley, don’t tell people you will never do it again. Do what? Pose for photos? Your a ******* celebrity, that’s what you do! If you set yourself up for failure by saying something definite like that, then you are bound to be appologizing again. I can’t believe I am wasting my time with this ****. Get a life…all of you!

well I hate that picture she is really ugly in that pic but I’m still a huge fan. I don’t care what she does I support her 100%

screw miley, wtf is so amazing about her

why is she sooooo important…?

OMG Miley. i cant believe shes being a ****. Apology not accepted.
So you guys now she isnt going to learn this is like the 4th time with BAD pictures. Like the ones in the hotel, with the car, slumber party,her bathing suit and her bra pictures. Like when is she going to wake up ?? Vanity is a professional and its not like they pulled a gun on her head and made her do it. I think shes trying to protray herself as like sexy. with all this ****** pics shes isnt a great role model to the kids. I mean hello she didnt learn from Vanessa Hudgens ? i mean i respect her because she said sorry and she hasnt done anything that resque. but with miley shes done like 858373 pictures. like with the bra its like hello if your like doing this with guys DONT take pictures keep it in a DL. Next thing you know shes takin pictures with her breast showing ! I dont like her any morre i mean i dont hate her but definitely dislike her behavior. I mean like shes showing that every ****** 15 year old is a **** ? she protraying that people just want to get laid and girls are just a piece of furniture.im 15 years old and i dont do bull crap like this. my parnets will freakin kill m e. i mean for all we now she isnt a virgin, she probably had sex with that guy i mean we dont know. theres clearly another side of her that we dont know. i mean were was the religion when she did this. im freakin christian and no where in the bible says this is okay. taking BAD pictures! We dont know what goes throug her mind. All i can say to miley is GOOD LUCK !

but all i know she ISNT a good role model
say good bye to your fans cause one day you wont have any !

Jesse pennington @ 04/28/2008 at 7:25 pm

Andrew, the reason she is sooooo important is that we have been programed to believe she is. Why is anyone important? Is it what they do or say? What they believe? What they like or dislike? No, it is because we (the average folks) give them attention. Look at us. I could be doing ten different things right now that would serve me better than posting my opinion on some stupid web site but for some inexplicable reason, I am helpless against the desire to be heard. As if anyone cares. There are many ways to become famous. Usually, doing something really bad is the easiest way. Doing something really good doesn’t draw much attention. It could even make people jealous, bitter or suspicious of your motives. Ever heard of Clara Barton? Can any of you festidious bloggers tell me who she is? I bet not. She founded the American Red Cross. Who gives a ****. Just because she helped create a foundation dedicated to saving people’s lives doesn’t make her important compared to some marginally attractive 15 year old girl who’s daddy sang some stupid twangy song about his achey, breaky heart. Every day the human race is rought with the worst things the imagination can possibly summon. Here we sit lamenting a little girl playing dress up (or down) as if it matters. Why is she important? Because we let her be.

miley_cyrus_fan @ 04/28/2008 at 7:34 pm

miley is so pathetic
anything for attention
and you fans who dont care well you are pathetic too
i agree with you all about how she is apologizing to every one and that is stupid and so is disney channel they said she was munupulated ya whatever

I still support you GIRL!

i think miley was a little taken advantage of and people told her how good media the pictures were going to get her and thats not the way its working out

Jesse pennington @ 04/28/2008 at 7:42 pm

Allie, get a grip. Acctually, get an education. Learn about religion and the odds with which the world has always been at with it. How old do you think girls were when they would be married of to some man 2000 years ago. The source of our beleif of what is right and what is wrong is one in the same. That is the problem. How old are the alter boys that the local priest is playing with. You get this crazy about the back of a fifteen year old girl showing. When you go swimming, do you wear a wet suit? Ditch the religion babe, it makes you sound stupid and you’re not stupid. Are you?

Poor Miley, she has alot of controversy now and i’ve heard that some people manipulate her just to sell magazine…. that is just so mean

i feel truly sorry for her.

Don’t worry Miley, i’m here with you.

u no what!i was interviewed by debra r. about this. it was for good morning america. this will air on 4/29/08 so watch for my opinion!!!

wow.. she lost all my respect.

i feel bad for her. that poor thing.

mileyfan0617 @ 04/28/2008 at 8:54 pm

Iactually think that Miley didn’t think the pics would turn out like that.. it was a photo shoot for a magazine,, sometimes they look different then what you were hoping they would turn out like,,

I think the photo is beautiful and artisticly done, however, due to her age I believe that it was inappropriate.

Hey #372 and #373 … quit horsing around and pretending that you are her. And besides, sorry doesn’t cut it. Being the star that she is, with a very young fan base and a lot of influence over these fans, she and her parents ought to have thought about the consequences of their actions. Yes, she is 15 and most girls her age are discovering their sexuality, but these photos deride our social and moral values, of which she claims to have buckets of. What message does that send to her young fans and what moral standards does she set with these photos? That it’s okay for a 15-year-old MINOR to be promiscuous, because by and large that’s what these images imply?!?! If it were okay, do you think we would be having this debacle at all? The photos have offended and outraged scores of parents, and rightfully so, because any adult who condones promiscuity in a 15-year-old has to be absolutely NUTS. The social and moral connotations are staggering and therein lies the controversy!!
