Miley Cyrus’ daddy appeared on The Today Show Tuesday, offering the so-called “first” public statements on his daughter’s naked photo scandal, which appeared in Vanity Fair, masterminded by celebrity photographer Anne Leibovitz. Here’s more from People mag:
“I didn’t know they were going to strip her down and wrap her in a blanket,” Cyrus, appearing to promote his NBC show Nashville Star, told show anchor Meredith Vieira. Of the seemingly topless shot of his daughter, he said, “I was surprised when I saw it … but, hey, that’s life. Stuff happens.”
“I had just finished a movie down in Florida. I flew in because Annie had specifically asked that I come in and do a shot with Miley. I had worked with her before. She’s a great lady. She’s a good person, a great photographer. I was scheduled to be in Washington State the next day to play for the troops returning from Iraq and then the next day in Anchorage, Alaska.” He left early to catch a plane for that special concert.
He also defended the father-daughter photo, in which Miley, dressed in jeans and a top that bares her midriff, lounges across his lap.
“I’m sorry, if I offended somebody. That’s just a daddy who loves his daughter a whole lot,” Cyrus told Vieira. “Miley and I just got caught up in this adventure of this dream and what we do for a living, and, again, we both love acting, we love making music, and we love each other. I’m her Dad, she’s my daughter. If a daddy hasn’t hugged his daughter recently, I recommend he does.”
I’m afraid I reckon there’s a little strange love goin’ on here, but that’s just me.

Your headline called Billy Ray a liar. There was nothing in your article to back that up. So,it looks like the only lie was the headline. I guess it is just you.

It’s aweful that someone can think that about a father and a Daughter. I’m sure this happens with SOME people, but Not Billy. You should be ashamed of yourself for this. The only thing that is a lie would be the title of the article. You need to back your words up before you publish something. Taking a photo with your daughter in a normal teen agers’ shirt is NOT bad. It seems YOU need to get your priorties straight before ‘bashing’ a very loving family
