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.”

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. 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 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 …

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?

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.
