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.”

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!!
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
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. >.

SHE CHOSE TO DO THIS YOU PPL! she just wants moneyyyy. READ THE LAST PARAGRAPH. THAT S**T!
i feel so bad for miley .. i hope people will not judge her .. shes just a kid .. its her parents fault .. why did they allow miley to do that .. i still believe in miley .. we all made mistakes .. thats part of being human ..
When you have a piece of a sheet covering your body and you know what your doing, don’t pretend to be shocked. This girl is a fake little ****. I can’t stand her and my daughter can’t either. She’s only 10.
Honey take your top off.
Once someone says those words to you it’s no secret what;s going on.
Annie Liebovitz is a pedophile. They should all be ashamed.

All I have to say is, she is straight up buck naked on that magazine cover!!!!!! OMG!!
shes trying to look innocence please ***** we know that your a hore she sucks and she looks like the grudge
first off, this is soo sad, they told her it was art? thats just wrong. BUT its not like she didnt know what she was doing. Better clean her act up . shes really a good girl and my daughter looks up to her and my daughter is only 8.
“She did it to get paid!” are you freaking kidding me!!!!… Like Miley Cyrus needs anymore money! She didn’t do it because she wanted to get paid she did it because not only did she want attention but because she was stupid! …
I mean how dare she blame Annie!!! COME ON!! that woman is one of the greatest photographers to this day who many people have respect for .. do you honestly think that the people who have worked with Annie are going to say that they were manipulated into doing something they didn’t want to! … and Disney most of all is extremely stupid putting the whole blame on Vanity Fair .. Disney targetted one of the best magazines for women and said that they took advantage and manipulated a 15 year old girl.. I mean are you kidding me! seriously! no one was manipulated.. it’s not like Annie said “miley you better do this or i’m gonna kill you” .. She never did that .. and Miley and her parents got to see the photos before they left the photo shoot .. so why are they just NOW saying something about it ?? There is no reason .. and it’s extremely sad that they’re.. as in Miley .. her representatives.. Disney channel.. is blaming VF and Annie for these photos..
It’s one thing to apologize and try to be mature about the situation .. and it’s another thing to apologize and try to turn the situation around as if you’re the victim to the whole thing .. if Miley really wanted to apologize for real .. she simply wouldn’t have blamed anyone for the pics … She should have apologized in a mature way .. and not have blamed Annie for these photos.. it doesn’t make her sound sorry it makes her sound pathetic and stupid! ..
There is absoloutley no one who should be defending Miley .. her apology was not only fake .. but it showed how immature she is by blaming the photographer which is respected by so many people not only in the world but also in the industry Miley is in more that Miley herself ..
i do feel a little sorry for her , but then again she knew COMPLETLY what she was doing, if she didnt want to go topless she shouldve said something.. but she didnt and NOW look whats happend
They don’t look so bad here.

u’d think this girl would learn to stay away from the camera. i am literally 20 days older than her, and i know that to go in front of a camera in my underwear, or covered by just a blanket would be trampy and label me as things that i dont want to be labeled. and im just a normal teenager. miley is in the public eye, and so many little girls look up to her when they shouldnt be. right now she is being a horrible role model for all these little girls to look up to. she needs to wise up and get out of the public eye before she turns into the next britney.
she looks like ryan sheckler’s little brother kane. lol
Maybe she would be less embarrassed if she was pouting at the camera while wearing a hot pink bra with a guy’s hand near her crotch. Get that shot Annie! It’s wayyy classier than what you originally did.
I don’t really get why people have to compare this with the issue of Vanessa Hudgens. Vanessa took the photos privately 3 years ago when it got leaked. Miley Cyrus and her parents knew fully well what they were getting into when the these topless photos were taken. Miley only apologized when she found out the backlash from it. How can anyone say that the girl was forced or even manipulated into this??? This was a professional photo shoot of a 15 year old girl whom the parents gave their consent to. Now that’s totally inappropriate.
“People reports that Miley’s parents left before the final picture at the photo shoot but her grandmother and teacher were there”
Miley: “That’s what she (Annie) wanted me to do, and you can’t say no to Annie.”
Annie Leibovitz is a shark folks. She even asked the Queen of England to take off her crown but she is wiser than 15yo Miley.
Way to go Annie. You waited until the parents left and moved in like a shark. Disgusting manipulating creature.
