Miley Cyrus Apologizes for Revealing "Vanity Fair" Photos

Disney superstar Miley Cyrus (aka "Hannah Montana") was recently photographed by Annie Leibovitz for a series of photos to appear in Vanity Fair magazine. In the yet-to-be-published photos Miley appears to be topless and wrapped in a sheet. The photos haven't yet been printed, they'll make their debut in the June edition of the magazine, but they've already hit the web.

Since the existence of these revealing photos and the photo shoot have come to light, the Disney actress/singer has come under fire.

At only 15-years-old, Miley has already been the subject of scrutiny in connection with risque photos. Just one week ago, several photos of her draped across her boyfriend's lap and showing off her green bra were released online. At least three other sets of not-so-innocent photos have been leaked online over the past year.

Miley issued a statement on ET today about the Vanity Fair shoot:

"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. I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."

Disney also issued a statement supporting Miley in playing the "victim" card:

"Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."

Considering that Miley is such a huge star and only 15, it doesn't seem likely that she would be allowed to participate in a shoot like this if her managers, handlers, and parents didn't approve it.

Vanity Fair defended themselves, telling the New York Times:

"Miley’s parents and/or minders were on the set all day. Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley."

It seems to me that the only concern anyone in the Miley camp really has now is how this negative publicity will affect their sales, Miley's image, and ultimately their pocketbooks.

Shame on you guys

I think it's really desperate and low of Vanity Fair to take advantage of a 15-year-old girl to try and make sex sell their magazine. I mean, come on. I'm sure that there are enough stupid grown women more than willing to pose half-naked for your magazine to prevent you from not only taking advantage of a child, but trying to destroy the image of a young girl who is a moral role model for teens and tweens everywhere.

i dont see what all the fuss

i dont see what all the fuss is about, some people call this art. She is not naked, compared to the Paris Hilton and LyNDSAY Lohan, this is nothing. This is getting ridiculous

the fuss is...

The fuss is that Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton and others you might compare her to are ADULTS. Miley Cyrus is a 15 year old GIRL!! It's time adults grow up and stop expecting children to look and act like adults.

miley cyprus is a slut and

miley cyprus is a slut and there are pic of her kissin another gal so shes a bi-since she has a boyfriend and a girlfriend....also jus like vannesa hudgens she was reavling her bra...so she should be banned and also high school musical is gay so is vanessa who is a stupid porn star

she is a

she is a slut and she is gay because she be kissing gurls i bet u she like hat song " i kissed a girl and i liked it"

nobody has proof that miley is a slut

nobody on this earth has proof that miley is a slut. if someone had pictures showing her sleeping with two, three, or four different guys at one time that would be different. i do agree that she should not be advertising herself in almost nothing cause a lot of young girls look up to her. she not only is disrespecting herself but she is disrespecting her fans. i am sure that her dad isnt too thrilled about this either. i am 24 years old and enjoy watching hannah montana and listening to her music but as long as she tries to act like another christina aquilera or britney spears then thats her choice but it is ruining our kids today. i have a 6 year old girl and she tries to wear tube tops or really short shorts. this needs to stop before it gets out of hand. i have mileys back no matter what. we love you miley.

finally, someone who understands!

THANK YOU!

Miley Cyrus picture

Ok I feel Miley is NOT a victim here--- Did she not know she had her clothes off when this picture was taken?? COME ON!!!!

She could have told Vanity air that she was uncomfortable with the idea of the portrait but she went along with it..as did her parents--

I just don't feel bad for her.. she knew they woudl use the photo and she undressed herself and posed for it!

chillax everyone

i think everyone that is mad at miley for doing this needs to chillax. this is art and i think it's a very beautiful picture. just because it shows her bare back does not mean she's a hoe and should be fired and yada yada yada. i bet if some photographer came up to you and said you would make money if you just showed your bare back you would do it. so chiiiillllll.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!

im not really a big miley fan but l0l i still love her. ecspecially her music! (7 things) hahaha!!! anyway. when they released that vanity rair photo i was like ARE U KIDDING ME???!! that photo was super gorgeous and its not like no one else doesnt have a back. if i did that and put it on the internet it would just be a photo. but since she did it they like attacked her.

but the other photos......... some of them were innapropriate because again she is a role model and she gonna live up to that. but on the other hand,dont 4get people she is 15 and she having fun. teenagers take pics of them self all the time. its not like u having seen a green bra before. its just like a swimming suit top! DONT FREAKOUT!!!!

i love u miley and i got your back on this one.

love always,raven |=) age: 13

hannah m.

WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?

i think she did want to do

i think she did want to do it and didnt realize that it was going to be this bad and now regrets it

Lay off Miley-From a mad mom

I am a mom of a beautiful daughter who is now grown, but she was in dancing for years when she was little. One of the most beautiful pictures that I still have hanging on my wall was a picture taken prior to a recital when she was 10 years old. It is a picture of her in full makeup, looking over her shoulder, bare backed with one of those colorful fluffy boas draped accross her. She looked elegant and lovely and my daughter along with 99% of the rest of the dance team was photographed the same way with never a bad thought or word uttered as us proud moms showed off our beautiful little angels. Hang in there Miley, you are my little 6 year old second cousins idol.

Yikes!

As someone who works with pediatric sexual assault victims...this is exactly the mentality that puts so many young girls at risk. When did it become "lovely" and "angelic" to dress little girls up like adults and put them in provocative poses.

Lady, of course no bad words were said because the other little girls were dressed up and shown off by other women with the same mentality with you. And I assure you any pedophile that might catch a glimpse of your little angel I'm sure thought she was gorgeous.

Moms....wise up. Protect your daughters and let young girls look like young girls. Then they will truly look like angels and really no bad thoughts will be had.

Shame on you!

miley

miley you are hot......call me......i dream of you and love you id do anything with you be mine ur frekin sexy

I used to be a huge fan,

I used to be a huge fan, 'till I found out she put those pics up... and don't even say that she's better than me 'cause she's not... I'm not that kind of person to say that but... too late! If I where her, I would be a better person because I have this friend and her little sister LOVES hannah and she looks up to her, so...
BE A BETTER PERSON MILEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you think about it its

if you think about it its kind of like shes wearing a dress with no back. what the heck is everyone getting so worked up about. shes not naked. showing her boobs to the whole world or anything/.

listen to this

Okay, she is just a teen like me. we all take pictures of ourselves and some dirty ones are included, but this isn't dirty. she was just taken advantage of and that's not fair. I'm not a really big fan, but its not like she dropped the f bomb or something. ha, its also not like a certain high school musical( who seriously was involved in a retarded sex scandal with a piece of shit looking guy) starlett who actually showed her REALLY tiny titts and...ewwwww. I'm gonna stop. So to all you fucked up people who are talking shit about miley....fuck off. I swear to fucking god. She is WAY better than this and deserves better from you low lives sons of bitches. piece....

What? How old are you like

What? How old are you like 16? Learn to speak properly, and gain a real world perspective.

Not your child!

shithead. if its not your child, then dont pay attention to what they do and dont due! MYOB!!!!

Ha, you said: "its not like

Ha, you said: "its not like she dropped the f bomb" and then go on to say fuck multiple times yourself. Not like I care, it's just funny 'cause it's hypocritical.

i don't understand what a 15

i don't understand what a 15 year old girl is doing on the cover of vanity fair anyway.

they want miley to pose

they want miley to pose naked for a playboy magazine!!!!!!! i hope she doesnt do it or else she might loose her fans!!

idont get this

she probally think she wants to have sex.

Dress up....

I'm sorry.. but not only does she barely look her age, let alone old enough to be considered "sexy" but they made her up in this pic to look like she has a Kool-Aid moustache... What's the point? Why do people look up to this? When I was 15, I cared about how I looked.. but it wasn't my goal to be sexy, nobody saw pictures of me partially clad, or in my teeny tiny underwear that were OOPS leaked on the internet... HONESTLY

victim?

ok...wth. Miley knew what she was getting herself into when did the shoot. Her "aplogies" are only because she doesnt want to lose fans, well guess what...if she didnt want to lose them, why the heck did she do a half-naked shoot in the first place. She's old enough not to be babied so much. A victim my butt!

I'm going to have to agree

I'm going to have to agree w/the "yikes" post. Unfortunatly, we do not live in a world where the back of a 15 year old girl is seen as "art" or "natural." To the thousands of pedophiles looking for this type of thing, what parent would willingly allow their 15 year old child to pose like that? It is bad taste, and kind of awkward to look at - why weren't there any red flags going up, like "hey, this may be controversial, I'm holding my breast with my back fully exposed, clearly naked." Not smart - and sad if it's to get publicity. Vanity Fair, and more people should know better.

My only problem...

Is that one picture, where she is laying across her dads lap, just a little............weird. But other than that, I stand by her pictures, they DO show her in a natural way, and I think her apology was more than satisfactory.

I have to agree

It was soooooooo weird...its her dad not her love interest

miley

i think that when miley took the picture she didnt know it was going to turn out this bad but wants it did she regreted ever taking the picture

Puh-leeze

The hell with miley didnt know what she was getting into and she was taken advantage of. I can tell you she knew damn well what she was getting into when she took this picture. It looks like she just had sex or something with the way her hair is all messed up and shes sitting up wrapped in a sheet. She is 15!!!!! She shouldnt be doing this kind of shit when little kids like my little sister look up to her. I didnt disrespect her for her last "scandel" because all teens take pictures like that. But here she looks like she is trying to be some teenage sex symbol. She is only apologizing because things erupted in her face like this. I was never a fan, but now i disrespect her even more. Enough is enough. Get a clue miley!!!

Miley ...

It's true little kids are looking up to her .. and i liked Miley Cyrus .. but after what i just heard .. i don't know. Like the people that don't care what Miley did i don't care it's your problem, i don't care what you think, but i just think it was wrong and some of you people think it's normal but it's not here she is laying on this un-known guy ... like helloo. And she's going to have serious problems when she grows up like when she is an adult.

Miley ...

It's true little kids are looking up to her and i liked Miley but after what i just heard .. i don't know.Some of you people are okaii with it but some people aren't. Like she's only 15 like helloo ... don't you think that's pretty young. And if she continues this she's going to have serious problems when she is 18 or older. Some of you think its normal taking pictures of yourself naked or half naked but it's not. Like if you people wanna think its right then go ahead i'm not stopping you, i don't care what you think but i saw a picture of her laying on this un-known guy ... that's not really good ... it's bad!!!

MIley ... what have you done!!

Get a life.

I think this whole situation is ridiculous. This is a beautiful, natural, and artistic picture. It's showing nothing but her back. I'm sure that half of the dresses and tops girls wear on a daily basis are twice as revealing and "sexy" as this photo. She's not even showing a sensual facial expression. This is a beautiful picture showing a girl transform into a young woman. Find something better to do than tear others down to satisfy your boredom and low self esteem.

&

&did yall know that now she's looking into making a movie *i forgot the name, its based off a book* that would include nude scenes with HER BEING NUDE!!

miley.. miley... dont rush it.

Wow,

I think you guys are absolutely ridicolous, Miley isn't a freaking slutt, she's a teenager, like me. We like to do crazy shit, so what? This picture isn't even bad, it's not porno, goddd. Get a lifeee faggots.

This picture would not be

This picture would not be considered as child pornography if it appeared anonymous on deviantart but it can be depicted as child pornography because it is Miley- Disney's spectacle role model for teenagers- and it is in Vanity Fair.

It all depends on the context and I am sorry to say so but it was a terribly wrong decision.

Miley postponed her college education as well. Somebody has to guide her. Tell her that now she needs to build some intellectual capital, else she will regret it all her life.... Bad decisions, bad parenting during a very crucial period of a teenager's life... Pity.

Oh, wow, big deal

Okay, guys, really? She's not showing anything. It's just like a backless, sleeveless dress. Girls - teen girls and up - all over the world wear dresses like that, and just because a famous teen does it (sheet or dress!!!) everyone has to make a big deal. Get over it!

Lay Off!

All you guys who have nothing better than to goggle at this site all day, lay off Miley Cyrus! It's her life, so why do you care? I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but this world is goin' down the drain enough without everyone freakin' out about one person's one choice one time! I'm in Canada, and 12 years old, but I know enough not to mess other people's lives up by making pointless sites like these, while you can be doing something useful in your life! I'm not a particular fan of Miley's, but I think she's talented, and she probably doesn't want everyone blowing up in her face like this. I especially agree with the posts "Wow", "This picture would not be", and "Oh, wow,big deal". You guys have some common sense, in my opinion.

Get real

So lets get this straight she is less than one year from legally being able to have sex with someone under 18...at least in Michigan. For all of you parents out there you better believe most girls as good as they may seem ;) have done about everything but at 15 and every year that age gets lower and lower. So what to do ? you can criticize and act like it doesn't happen try to shut your teen out and shield them, (this will only cause them to be really bad later trust me i dated one of these girls...lotta fun) or you can approach it from a realistic angle and realize that Miley is the least of your worries. It needs to start with real parenting that doesn't shield the child from reality and lets them decide whats right and wrong. You just need to instill good values, preferably not religion based, religion can be added on top of the values but should not be the basis of decision making. Interesting side note, the US is really the only country that a good portion of the population still believes in Christianity, 95% of Europe just writes it off as something that was... is Europe bombing anyone? No so you can have good values based on getting information from as many different view points and place before making a decision without a religious core (basically unbias informed decisions). I'm a republican by the way. If you make to many decision for your children in general they begin to feel like they are incapable of making decision on their own and wont trust them selfs, they lack self respect and that takes you exactly to where your running away from. :) funny how that works huh. If you enstil realistic values that are based on helping man kind as a whole then there should be now worries about small temporary figures such as Miley. They will be able to sort it out as long as they can trust in what you have taught them, and that it can not be questioned or proved wrong (ie: religious base, this can be added later if you want) as long as they are values that are shared around the world no matter the religion... i can guarantee you your child will make more realistic, informed and logical decision. I would like to hear any responses you may have to this, my email is don.j.dawson@gmail.com. I am an engineering student (and its 1:30 am) so my grammar may be a bit off but my type could really care less as long as the message gets across. By age 19 i had worked in India for a biomedical engineering company for 3 months, worked for 2 other companies where i created system that were implement world wide and created jobs. I currently have patents in the prototype stage as well, i'm not a joke, did i mention i just turned 20. I had no fear of leaving home when I went to India for the job because i knew what i had been taught were absolute truths, the rest was just details that varied from one part of the world to another. I made amazing life long friends while i was there. My mother is a psychologist and my dad is an engineer.
