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.”

the photoshoot is NOT BAD
soo STOP ******* SAY IT BAD LOSER
that’s bull right there!! she knows what the h*ll she’s doing!! so this proves right there she’s a sl*tty wh*re!!!
jeeeeeeeeezz miley.
after the edgy pics on the internet, you’d expect her to lay low for a while but i guess not.
i wonder if joe jonas’ statement that “we have her back and love her to death” applies here too?
Annie is a pervert and you are a stupid moron Kid.
Wow, what a speech from a 15 year old! and I absolutley love her! She had the guts to apologize for the photos and the Vanity Fair pic! And hey, I agree! She is just 15 and all of us make mistakes along the way! I mean come on! give her a break! You can’t expect her to be perfect cause nobody is! Besides! The pics didn’t show anything at all! Other people in the planet do worse things to humanity and we don’t make a big deal out of it like people are making a big deal out of this! She’s on tha right track, trust me!
peace out!
rock on Miley!
aww i feel really bad about this.. poor kiddo
Miley Miley Miley…..
I don’t understand how Miley Cyrus, continues to dig herself into this hole.
She was already on thin ice for her leaked photos with Thomas Surges. That can not be covered by some flimsy excuse. These are the photos that will surely push some fans (and fans’ mother & fathers) over the edge.
While I wouldn’t even begin to tag these photographs as risque I would say, however that they are quite a bit out of Miley’s age range.
Miley shouldn’t say she was just “embarrassed” about these photos. It’s time for her to step up and take responsibility for these pictures. Not just simply disregard them and hope for the best.
If she really is as mature as she claims to be, she should at least have the class to appear on some sort of, radio, talk show, news show, etc and personally explain these photographs.
While I am personally not religious in anyway, I think it should be against any parents morals to pose nude. No matter if she is covered.
Older actors and actress’ have posed nudely & covered. But they are old enough to the point where the pictures can be viewed as tasteful.
For a 15 year old, these pictures are not in my opinion appropriate.
I think also, That Mr and Mrs. Cyrus should have guided Miley and chose not to have these photos done.
The family already knew that their daughter was on thin ice, because of Thomas Surges photos. They should be more aware that pictures like this may not be appropriate after something like that.
I hope Miley chooses to make the right choice, and come clean about the photos.
Until then she must face the wagging of the tongues from this picture.
Please do not call me a Miley hater. Because I do not hate anyone. But I think it is only fitting that she discuss these pictures…and soon.
Best of Luck,
Lizzy
Eww why would you allow your 15 year old to pose like that? Do you want creepy 50 year old men jacking off to it? Of course Miley’s dad wants to be her “best friend” not her father… Kids have have alot of friends but only one mom and dad.
what the hell shes playing it off now that its all out.she knew what she was doing and so did her parents.this is what money does to you,you get bored because you have every thing in the world ,so you start out with these pics and then drugs(which im sure shes already did looking at some of the pics lately she looks like she was high and then theres the vedio her and mandy did were she was making fun of demi and selena they both were missed up on some thing.so im not buying their lame excuse.
Miley is a dumbass.
she knew what she was doing and she could have said no,
she needs to get fired from disney. she is a baaad role model.
yeah it doesnt show any bad part !!
LOL
it not like the Vanessa pic
yeah it doesnt show any bad part !!
LOL
it not like the Vanessa pic
cant stand a liar ,so that would be miley and her dumb ass parents.she sure follows her faith
A 15 year old girl being asked to pose naked by an adult photographer…sounds like someone is guilty of child pornography to me. Miley is young but she certainly knew she was naked so it is silly for her to try to say she didn’t think it was what it was… a naked pose.
Sounds to me like fame and fortune has clouded the family’s better judgement.
Neither Miley nor her dad are very talented or good looking so I guess they are getting while the getting is good.
So be it, but stop trying to play it both ways..sweet and innocent has just left the building and the world is not buying the poor little girl taken advantage of routine…at least I hope not, sheesh.
she’s 15 not 5
she knew fully well how topless pictures would look
i think she needs a break from the spotlight to get centred again
she’s a talented girl who just has to much put on her shoulders
god bless and i wish her all the best xoxo
**** o.o
i liked her at first.
now i hate her
what a bad example for kids :P
she looks like a homeless man in this photograph, one that the years have aged him.
Annie Leibovitz is highly respected and a renowned photographer and Miley knew what she was doing.
shame on you miley for blaming AL.
disney needs to get rid of her before she tarnishes there name.of course g her parents and she miley is going to cover up.because she dont want to give up all that money shes making off of the poor little kids.shameless hussy
Oh my gosh. This is kind of depressing. I’m a really big Miley fan. On one hand I forgive her, in her own words, everybody makes mistakes. And I believe that she thought it was artsy and stuff. The lady “annie” was probably very manipulative, like “Oh, Miley it will be such an artistic masterpiece no one will think it’s ****** or anything. Very high class.”
But I also have to think, because I know I wouldn’t do something like that, I don’t know what it feels like to be famous, but I like to think it wouldn’t change me so much as to do something like that. I have such mixed feelings about this. But I don’t like it.
a smart girl wouldn’t pose naked in the first palce…durrr…..now shes just gonna have to pay for it xD
i feel bad for her. the world is out to get her. she needs to realize people want to see her fall, so she needs to be super careful. vanity fair is going to sell tons of magazines from that tho. poor miley.
okay, im not her hugest fan or anything. i like her and her music a lot. this isnt the classiest picture or anything, but it was a professional photo shoot. not something she did herself. yeah she has some other ‘inappropriate’ pictures on the internet, but those pictures are seriously a teenager having fun. unfortunately, people seem to think they have the right to judge miley on everything she does. this actually is a gorgeous picture of her, she looks amazing and the only skin shes showing is her back. she is a phenomenal person and is very talented. people need to calm down and realize that she will make mistakes, just like everyone else.
wow, miley… my ******* ass. since when is skankiness artistic? aha! the attack of the rebelling disney star. XD
