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.”

I agree actually. She knew that it would come out for the WHOLE world to see it, so if she loved her friends so much then she shouldn’t of done it. I still like her and all but this was a BIG mistake for her to do. Even though it is her own life to live, but it was still a bad choice to make.
HA! stupid miley she knew what she was doing & now she saying she feels embarrassed?!
her quote is ridiculous. YOU CAN SAY NO. don’t make it into vanity fair and annie’s fault, it is your body you can do whatever you want with it and she chose to do it. she should take responsibility for her actions for once in her life.
Rumors are going on that Disney are going to fire her
Listen. Miley is 15 years old. For those of you who are parents, do you really expect a teenager who has just skyrocketed into fame within one year to be able to be trusted with handling major events such as these? If anyone, it’s her parents who are to blame. They raised her. They are responsible for instilling the values and beliefs that she will grow up with. And if they supported her picture for Vanity Fair, then it’s no wonder that she decided to go along with it. Miley can’t be expected to handle herself as an adult would. Give her a break.

and of course, the apology was not her own words but prepared by her agent and/or parents after they found the picture had outraged Disney.
miley you look very pretty and artisic i accept your apoligie
poor miley :(
your damage control is too late girl, you already took the pics and you knew what you were doing! don’t blame anyone else
It would be a different story if we hadn’t just seen her coyly exposing her bra and then sprawled across her boyfriend’s lap with her midriff exposed. I don’t think there’s much doubt what she was doing with the boyfriend when the camera was turned off.
OOo.. keep us posted Jasmine.
first she was a ***** then when her second scandal came out she was a hoe and now with this she’s just a *****
first of all she is way too overexposed!!! she goes to every event she’s invited to. jst cos your suddenly successful you hafta show your mug everywhere. stay home once in a while
“you can’t say no to Annie.”
MILEY YOU ******.
its supposed artsy like anya on ANTM
Why is everybody making such a huge deal?
They were done artistically.
And it was Annie Lebowitz! How is gonna it be ******?
I feel so bad for her. She takes a beautiful picture and all you little brats can do is make fun of her and insult her?
You guys are terrible.
puhhleasee. no one forced her to take of her top. that was her own decision. dont try to apologize.
artistic my ass dude if u pose topless people are going to think your a ***** no matter how “artistic” it looks.
Why Vanity Fair would even consider doing such a controversial photoshoot with a mere 15 year old is beyond me
I think the image from Vanity Fair by Annie Leibovitz looks tasteful. I dont see the problem. Annie is a very artistic photographer, shes not looking to make dirty images.
Its all been blown out of proportion to stop the backlash against Miley. Because of the personal images that were released to the web.
she’s 15. she needs to mature in more ways than just physical. stop trying to blame a world renowned photographer and fashion magazine for YOUR mistake.

She is just a teenager who makes mistakes people, get over it and move on, if thats the worst she ever does then thank gosh. You people act like your all saints. At least she can say when she has made a mistake and learn from it and move on.
I wish Miley the best of luck, your a great person who is human like the rest of us.

there’s nothing artistic or beautiful about a 15 year old posing n.ude. if she was older, u culd make that arguement, about the human body being beautiful and wat not, but she cant even drive. and its not like someone took her top off for her. she did it willingly. her parents left, she took her top off, and posed n.ude knowing full well that shes a idol to many little kids, and that this culd tarnish her rep. excuse us “brats” for finding something wrong with that.
wake up and smell the roses my friend. u dont need to make excuses for miley, wat she did was wrong, period.
