Billy Ray Cyrus responds to media scrutiny over daughter Miley’s Teen Choice Awards stunt in which she performed atop an ice cream truck fitted with a stripper pole. Watch vid clip below!
When asked about headlines that suggested the teen got a little ahead of her age by dancing with the metal pole, Billy Ray — who Access Hollywood caught up with at the Hellmans/Facebook Feeding America event in NYC on Thursday — said Miley remains focused on “entertaining.”
“You know what? I just think that Miley loves entertaining people,” Billy Ray told Access. “She loves singing [and] songwriting.” And while some might have taken exception to Miley’s performance, her father encouraged her to block out the negative comments. “I always tell her to love what you’re doing and stay focused for the love of the art and not worry so much about opinion,” he added.
So what’s your take? Is Miley really that oblivious to all the possible (negative) outcomes & public reaction over working the stripper pole for a teenage awards show? Or is she most certainly too focused on “the art” to have paid this any mind? Simply comment!
I don’t see anything wrong. Miley WASN’T doing a Pole(stripper) Dance, simply using the pole to balance as the cart was moving. I suggest complainers or reporters would actually KNOW what a POLE DANCE is before condemning someone!! personally I don’t care for Miley’s music, I see nothing wrong with the performance being replied to!!!!!!
