One of the biggest stories last week was Billy Ray Cyrus’s extensive interview with GQ, in which he bashed Disney and lamented his daughter Miley’s wild ways. Miley still hasn’t issued a formal statement on anything her dad said, although she and her mom Tish did step out for an “all is well” photo-op just hours after the GQ interview dropped. Now PopEater reports that the GQ piece was just the beginning of The Mullet’s media campaign – and Miley is not having it.
Billy Ray Cyrus certainly knows how to burn a bridge. First he angers his daughter Miley after comparing her to Anna Nicole Smith. Then he attacks Disney, saying ‘Hannah Montana’ destroyed his family. Now he goes and upsets TV legend Barbara Walters after his daughter forced him to drop out of a scheduled interview on ‘The View’ this week.
“When Miley found out her father was scheduled to appear on ‘The View’ on Wednesday she went nuts,” a family friend tells me. “Only last week Billy shot his mouth off in GQ, and now he planned to sit down with the [Barbara and Whoopi] and talk more crap about his family. No way would Miley or her team let that happen.”
The GQ interview started off a firestorm after Billy Ray’s bombshell that he feels isolated from his daughter, blaming everyone but himself. “I’m scared for her,” he said in the interview. “She’s got a lot of people around her that’s putting her in a great deal of danger. I want to get her sheltered from the storm.”
Billy Ray’s comments had come out of nowhere, leaving everyone, including Miley, to wonder why her dad had decided to go public with private family matters.
“At first Miley defended her dad wanting to believe he had been tricked into saying bad things by the magazine,” an insider with knowledge of situation tells me. “Miley truly wanted to give her father the benefit of the doubt, goodness knows she’s said things she wishes she could take back. But after she found out about his media trip to New York no more excuses could be made.”
True, you don’t accidentally end up as a guest on ‘The View.’ That is a heavily planned event! Billy Ray’s representative confirmed to me that his trip to NYC had been canceled, at least for now.
[From PopEater]
I have two theories: One, Miley finally called her father and told him to quiet down. Or two, Miley called her management and screamed “CODE RED, THE MULLET IS GOING ROGUE!!” But seriously, she probably called Billy Ray and convinced him that she’s fine… for now. From what I remember of the GQ piece (’m pulling from memory, because I don’t want to reread that six page epic diatribe again) is that The Mullet is promoting his new album…? So, yes, he probably had more media appearances planned, in service of promoting his album. But all anyone would want to talk about would be Miley and how The Mullet thinks Jesus doesn’t approve of salvia.
These are pics of Miley yesterday. Seriously, her face is just filling out, don’t call her fat.

Miley and Tish probably threatened Billy Ray, there was some story floating around that Miley told Billy to STFU because of some dark secrets she knows about him. I would like to believe Miley and her dad have a good relationship, but I just don’t. Her face looks swollen from partying too much I think. IMO

Guess she showed Billy Ray who’s boss. He’s a hypocrite, Michael Lohan 2.0. Miley seems tougher that Lindsay or Britney. Maybe she likes to party but I don’t see her going down in flames.

She has always had a round face – there is definitely no way that girl is fat for sure. She is a bit smarmy though.

I never really
thought he blamed everyone but himself in that article. I remember a part where he said something about how he never knew how to parent his kids and thought that it was really important that he was a friend to them, which he now realizes was wrong.

I think it’s less that she’s gained weight or that her face is particularly bloated, and more that her face just doesn’t look good photographed from certain angles.

“blaming everyone but himself??” I am pretty sure there were a few quotes in his interview that fairly explicitly expressed regrets about his OWN parenting.
This piece seems so anti- Billy Ray Cyrus that I wonder the motivation. The first sentence claiming he “attacked Disney” stands out suspiciously to me. The View is on ABC after all…

@Saskia #1 “My 60 year old cleaning lady has those exact same shoes.”
Don’t’ know if your comment was snarky but the shoes she is wearing are Toms. They cost about 50 dollars and every time you buy a pair, Toms donates a pair of shoes to children in third world countries. It is a very progressive company and many people, especially young people wear them bc of their social responsibility.

Can’t stand her, but also can’t blame her for not wanting her dad to do that. He should know better than to do this publicly.

@Ginevra: ITA. And it cracked me up when Michael Lohan tried to align himself with Billy Ray, because Michael loves to blame Dina for all Lindsay’s troubles, not himself. I was particularly impressed that Billy Ray said not one word about Tish in the GQ interview.

Every single time she comes off of a movie or big tour, within weeks she fills out a little. She’s a teenager who eats/drinks junk when she’s not working. Big deal.

Billy Ray has always been about self promotion. He may have regrets, but the timing is suspect, since he has a new album dropping. I remember him on DWTS and he plugged Hannah Montana shamelessly every chance he got. I’m sure he loves his family, but I think he’s also an opportunistic user. I also think the apple didn’t fall far from the tree in this family.

Having had many years of observing teenager’s growth- Miley seems to be doing it backwards. As they get into the upper teens, they lose the face and neck fat; Either Miley is a heavy duty boozer or she’s having a major reaction to birth control pills. She looks terrible.

@Sumodo1 – Thanks for the laugh for the day!
I too thought BR blamed himself also for his families disaster. I thought it was nice to see someone finally taking responsibility instead of deny, deny, deny like the lohan clan.
I don’t think Miley is fat just put on some weight you could see it in her arms and face at the Grammys. She is looking hard these days sort of like her mom.

My feelings about her face bloat is she went on antidepressants after the bong thing came out. It is always something that seems to happen. those sucker will put massive weight on you. Britney Spears is on a diet of them. One of the reasons she had the hair shaving incident. Doctors told her she was on the wrong mix. But fact is those things make lots of people get fat. Slows down your thyroid and act crazy.It under reported.The woman who shot her 2 kids in Florida was taking them. Mark my words it had everything to do with SSRI’s

The girl is finally doing something good to those who need by wearing Tom shoes but somebody still has to make a very unnecessary comment.
and you guys are CRAZY if you think she is fat. Her face look rounder but in no way she is fat. Please, people. Then, when there are celebrities who give in to people’s mean comments and start dropping pounds, everybody criticizes them for not keeping what was a “healthy” weight. But when they have a normal weight, they are called fat. I really think this is ridiculous.

You people are assholes with all the fat comments. Isn’t it hard enough for girls dealing with weight and self esteem issues every freaking moment of their lives? Isn’t it hard enough for ALL of us? It doesn’t matter if you’re a star or not, it sucks to have your weight scrutizined. I don’t know about you all, but I went through the ‘Freshman 15′ weight gain, and also later when I was on anti-depressents (and yes, it does cause inexplicable horrendous weight gain). I was 15 pounds heavier than usual and was called ‘fat’ and ‘fat face’ and although I am quite thin now, I never got over that shit and I’ll bet most of you haven’t either. I don’t usually rant like this, but jeezus, give the girl a fucking break.

Okay, SOME PEOPLE have fat faces. Not evryone is blessed with the slender face gene, yall. It sucks, and yeah, you put on a tiny bit of weight, it all goes to your face. I remember Conan O’Brien talknig about this happening to Irish folk, which is true I guess, I too am living proof.

@50 Indeed the people calling her fat are assholes. Probably fat assholes themselves that they have to attack an 18 year old girl. Nice distraction from the fact that Billy Ray went ‘rogue’ long ago by absconding his parental duties. Anyone seen pics of his 10 y/o child?

Well, when you’re a teenager, you’re metabolism changes, for better or worse. She’s definitely not fat, but her face is a bit bloated, but that could be from eating too much junk food and not getting a goodnight’s sleep, either from too much sleep or not enough.
Besides, after seeing too many skinny girls in Hollywood, when we see a girl who’s a normal weight, we all think she’s overweight.

@mymy: SSRI’s don’t usually make you gain weight. It is the ones used to treat bipolar disorder (allegedly what Brit has) that can do that.
I’d hate to see anyone forgo treatment for simple depression because they were afraid they were going to balloon up! Goodness.

This statement makes me believe Billy Ray’s story about the machine taking over and the people around her not looking out for her best interests and getting between him and Miley. Her team? Why would her FATHER not be on that team?
As for her face, it was always round. When she is too skinny she looks like a lollipop because her face is still round, not fat.

I’m not going to lie, I am worried about her face getting rounder. Seriously, not trying to be funny but she is getting a double chin. But maybe it is the angle at which she has her head turned. As for this whole ordeal with her father, I’m kind of on the fence. While Billy Ray is ironically calling out his daughter’s career and actions (funny how he’s doing this now that Miley is of legal age to handle her own money), everyone was trying to rally behind Miley and say that she was (is) just being a teen and making her own mistakes, so everyone’s to blame in this ordeal. Not just Disney. Not just Miley. Not just Billy Ray. EVERYONE!
