Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair Photos: Pimping a Child Star?
Miley Cyrus is widely thought of as a wholesome role model for young girls but last week some provocative and questionable photos of Miley began circulating on the internet.
The teenage actress (15 years to be exact) and singer has apologized for what appears to be a rather racy Vanity Fair photo shoot in which she appears wrapped only in a blanket. She said she was embarrassed by the photos, taken by veteran photographer Annie Leibovitz.
“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. I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.”
The Disney Channel, which airs Hannah Montana, places the blame on Vanity Fair.
“Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines”
Vanity Fair defended the photos and Miley’s parents, including her showbiz dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, were at the shoot. Although they claim to have left before the controversial photos were taken, her grandmother was reported to be there.
