Update On Miley Cyrus / Vanity Fair Pictures Scandal
Apr 28, 2008 AT 05:55 pm
There is a lot still going on and both sides aren't too happy about it. Click here to see a bunch of pictures Vanity Fair posted online to show that the Cyrus family was completely involved in the shoot. The Huffington Post chimed in with quotes from Jamie Lee Curtis regarding the "topless" shots as she had a similar issue. Christian groups are angry and want Disney to do something about Miley. Annie L came out with a quote of her own defending her work.
"I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted," says Leibovitz in a statement issued Monday. "Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it. The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful."
And lastly, the ladies of The View each gave their opinion on the matter. This thing just won't die will it?
thats a shame! you know what? when i saw that i was like wow! that girl is just 15, doin all dat. i used to look up for her. i dont like her now. i remember i went to her concert.
Passerby (not verified) said: ur crazy to hate her now a swim suite shows way more than that.my 14 year old cousin wears stuff that shows more than that . mylie is not a little girl no more & people need to get over it she toke it its over so leave it alone at least she is not pregnant like jamie spears!
Alan (not verified) said: I just hate the way the media wants me to act and think in a particular way, it makes me very angry.
Mylie did nothing wrong, she should have stuck to her guns and kept to a simple message - "the pictures are beautiful and in good taste"
I grew up in the 80's - this is so tame its laughable.
People have lost their minds - we allow the media and the conservative right wing to dictate what we think, hear, read, say.
Fwck me George - that's all I have to say !
Passerby (not verified) said: It is really sad that people would attack a 15 year old girl for showing her back. If we are going to attack her then we should go to the beach and attack every teenager wearing a bikini. I think the people that put her down are insecure about their own lives. Like the saying goes "misery loves company". Stop being jealous of her accomplished life and get your own!
I think it is so stupid that people are gettin mad at mylie just bucause she took a pic in a towl!!!i still love her shows and her music,and i all ways will!!!!!
Passerby (not verified) said: Actually she isn't nude. If you go back and look at the pictures you will see that she still has pants on. She is sitting on a stool, and the sheet isn't a sheet at all. So seriously people quit over-analyzing things and live a life of your own rather than that of a "movie star"
It's really sad that this is the only thing we have to pick on her for. so sh took a picture in sheets? it can send the msg that she's sexually active but geez....honestly, its an artistic shot for a fashion mag geared to adults and she's growing up. i dont want to buy that mag and find a cutesy pic of a pop princess! how long can we expect her to keep this impossible wholesome image up?! she's not perfect just like we aren't. i dont think she did anything wrong! if she were lying in a bed it'd be different....but she's not sending any sort of negative msg in my book.
The picture that I saw was the one with her back out. It's not a sexy picture at all. Especially with the coloring added. It looks kind of like a portrait. Also she is 15 almost 16. She wants to be seen as more then a little girl. It's her back. Give me a break. If she had a bikini on you would see her back. Anyway like I said the picture is not sexy, and she's slouching.
Miley Cyrus should be kicked off Disney Channel. She has no talent and this is pushing it way to far. What kind of 15 year old girl takes a public photo under bed sheets? Talk about a ****. We're looking at the next Brittney Spears here, people. Be cautious, be very cautious.
Oh my gosh! ok I don't think it's artistic and all that crap! I think it's pretty ugly
1. She needs to act her age
2. She admits she was wrong so get over it
3. she made a mistake, no one's perfect
4. you don't take pictures in a sheet [artistic or not]
5. I'm pretty neutral so whatever.
Mylie is a beautiful young girl,she should not be doing photo shoots like this.
My little sister is just 4 yrs old and she eaven said that its wrong.Mylie is still a child,but she needs to think.Her father may or may not have a problem with it but i know alot of parents do.I do think that some people are going to crazy about this,but if people do make a fus about this Mylie will think its ok.
why her father or mother let her do it is byonde me,but she is throuing her carrier down the drain just when it gets big.
Okay, so i think most of the above statements (except a few) are inaccurate.
For starters, it is not Miley that should be attacked. She's a 15yr old girl----as far as im concerned she is still a child; therefore, any irresponsibility should fall directly on her parents.
Secondly, the picture is WAYY too promiscuous for a girl her age. I mean, that backless picture is far from artistic. It is the classic shot of the naked WOMAN under white sheets and wearing red lipstick. I stress the word "woman" because that is an image (whether we like it or not) that pop culture has en-grained in our heads.
The fact that so many people are defending it does not say much about where we are headed in society. Since when has it been acceptable for a minor to pose almost nude on a magazine such as Vanity Fair in such a suggesting manner? And people wonder why there are so many Pedophiles in the world today???
Miley should not be the person attacked for this. In fact, she is the victim. That being said, she is also seen as a role model for many YOUNGER girls (and i stress the word "younger" because girls less than 15 look up to her). A child knows no better, so if they take someone like Miley as an example of a beautiful young girl that they want to be like, what makes you think the won't imitate her and act more promiscuously (wearing the sexy-vixen red lipstick is one of those acts).
The point is, society needs to check itself and stop victimizing the youth. It's so sad how young people loose their innocence so quickly because they are forced by the media to grow up so fast.
What is the problem with these pictures? OK, Miley is just a little girl, I admit. But what bad will now happen in the world? I mean, in which way the world is now a worse place than before those pictures? I just cannot understand you hysterical people whose world collapses everyday. Today because of Miley's pictures, tomorrow because of some other "scandal". OMG, those pictures are fully harmless although they are taken of a 15-year-old little girl. Somewhat sexy pictures perhaps but so what?
I can see how people are taking this the wrong way but i dont think theres anything wrong with it at all... its an artistic photoshoot.. i have seen young models with agencies in London and they do worse than this.. which is wrong.. but this is tastefull and i think its just an artistic photo for a magazine which is fine.
And some people really need to give the girl a break.. shes just a young girl who is a great actress.. and i dont think anyone can really judge her..
keep your bad opinions to yourself.
omg idk why ya'll are making such a big deal out of this its not like she is turning into brittany spears! ok so she messed up its no big deal
1. she is very famous but only fifteen
2. although she said she wouldn't we all new this day would come
3 she is only fifteen and she was innocently doing it for a magazine shoot
you ppl are acting like she was completly naked! ots just a bead sheet and if reese witherspoon had done the same thing then noone would've said anything!!! and sure miley is fifteen and reese witherspoon is a whole lot older but they are still famous actresses with pretty clean reputations and i am sure miley feels bad enough already about it so give her a break!!!!
i dont agree with the pics but i think some of u need 2 relax the world isnt goin 2 end i dont she is goin 2 be the next britany spears its just media she wants her fame but at the same time be a normal girl she admitted she was wrong hive her a break sh is still only 15 teen tryin 2 grow up in this crazy world we r in plus ive seen worse girls 15 taken nude pics of them selves miley its ok im still ur fan
Ok kids. First of all her Father was at the photo shoot. HE is the one that let. SHE is underage and it is HIS job to protect her which he clearly failed to do. How many of you would have said no if you were that young, that famous, that pretty and were getting that much attention?
Get over it and grow up!
I think that it is a shame that everyone would make a big deal about her photos all because kids look up to her! The way I see it is there is a huge problem if your kids are looking up to a 15year old...instead they should be looking to you as the parent as their role model and for guidance.
It appears a ploy to gain more attention. The photos are silly and by her saying she is so "ashamed" makes others with more revealing pics look worse so she gains again.
I think the more troubling picture is the one where she is lounging across her father. Now that is disturbing...
i dont see anything wrong with these pics of her because it is just the way that you all are looking at them. because you dont know why she picked to take those pics ,would you turn down a job.......NO..........so leave her alone. the only reason you all are calling her gross is because you are looking at them in a gross way. what if it were your child up there and people were calling them bad names......... you would probably cry or get mad too.she is only 15 she is going to make mistakes in her life nobody is perfect and that is what u people need to understand just because you seen those pics dont mean she is doing anything bad with her dad or anything her photographer said that she thought those pics were pretty and nice ................. she is only showing her back in them pics so give her a break.........i love her besides i dont think she has done anything bad.
thats a shame! you know what? when i saw that i was like wow! that girl is just 15, doin all dat. i used to look up for her. i dont like her now. i remember i went to her concert.
ur crazy to hate her now a swim suite shows way more than that.my 14 year old cousin wears stuff that shows more than that . mylie is not a little girl no more & people need to get over it she toke it its over so leave it alone at least she is not pregnant like jamie spears!

so you dont like her because of a picture she took?? wow you are a very shallow person.
i dont care what you say i will all ways love her so she made a mistake she admitted it just give her break
I think it is so stupid that people are gettin mad at mylie just bucause she took a pic in a towl!!!i still love her shows and her music,and i all ways will!!!!!
IIIIIII♥♥♥♥♥♥♥miley!!!! or smilie miley!!!!lol
NUDE
Actually she isn't nude. If you go back and look at the pictures you will see that she still has pants on. She is sitting on a stool, and the sheet isn't a sheet at all. So seriously people quit over-analyzing things and live a life of your own rather than that of a "movie star"
i did not think that thay were bad thy were taste full and artistic <3
girls at my school wear more reveling things (im in 9)
This can be looked at 2 ways:
If you're immature, you see it as "OMG! She's bad!"
If you're mature, you see it as "Ok, whatever. She's a pretty girl... and famous. What do you expect? ...She's only human!"
It's really sad that this is the only thing we have to pick on her for. so sh took a picture in sheets? it can send the msg that she's sexually active but geez....honestly, its an artistic shot for a fashion mag geared to adults and she's growing up. i dont want to buy that mag and find a cutesy pic of a pop princess! how long can we expect her to keep this impossible wholesome image up?! she's not perfect just like we aren't. i dont think she did anything wrong! if she were lying in a bed it'd be different....but she's not sending any sort of negative msg in my book.
