      Umm why is he wearing sunglasses during an interview, I'd say somebody's ego has got the best of him.

      Get a clue you fat freak perez. Meredith Viera asked him about the pictures and brought the topic up with him. He is not still talking about it, he is responding to questions about it. You are a disgusting person; who puts your opinions on people when your opinion means shit.

      How did Miley become so famous anyway? Can't sing, can't act for shit. The only thing she's got going for her are all those controversies, and you know the Cyrus clan loves it.

      It must be really bright in that studio

      I think the photo of the two of them is more disturbing than the topless one
      I also think that there are more important things to worry about than some ugly teenager worth almost a billion $$

      your an ass…merideth brought it up….dummy…those pictures were beautiful….now u move on bitch.

      21

      give me a friggin break. this is her FATHER, and i think it's disgusting that anyone would ever assume there is anything inappropriate about this picture. it's his little girl that he is posing with, what is so unnatural about that. get your head out of the gutter meridith, it's quite gross that you even broght that up. boyfriend / girlfriend, omg, give me a break.

    22. Shaza says – reply to this


      22

      Good GOD, he is an idiot. All he kept saying was "well things happen". And I liked the poop and turkey neck analogies. Hick is right, and take the F'ing sunglasses off. Is your DAUGHTERS fame blinding you??? Keep riding her teenage coattails. And that picture of the two of you is CREEPY as hell.



    23. 23

      can this kid get OVAH himself already? sheesh… first, sunglasses on inside at like 7am? if you're not drunk (which he prob is) then there's really no excuse…

      also: STOP PIMPING YOUR SHIT… no one cares about any show you were in or songs you did, so stick to talking about miley and stop trying to make it all about you…

      and why is it that all aging 'rockers' feel the need to frost their hair and get botoxed to within an inch of their lives? are they getting their style tips from miami retirees or somet? it is really super unsexy on anyone, but esp on a man.

      28

      Hey Sim… how can you even ask how she go famous? Do you have a well established acting/singing career? She got all that long before any controversy. The pictures are what people make them out to be…get your minds out of the gutter.

    29. whate says – reply to this


      29

      She asked him about this. You say they should move on, but the only way they can move on is if the people quit asking about a dead issue.

      Look, we all know in a couple years Miley will be out of Disney and onto her own Christina/Britney era. This should not be so shocking to everyone that a 15 y.o. girl is trying to look more sexy and wanting to grow up. They all do it, just most aren't celebrities doing it in front of the camera. Yes Miley will probably be a hoe-bag in a few years…so what.

      As far as the picture of them together, have you never seen how a photo shoot works, you're told look here, tilt your head, hand here, look at the light, etc. And Annie is such a pro and fast paced. I'm sure neither was trying to be sick like you guys, they were going for artistic. That is his daughter for crying out loud. He's no Joe Simpson.

      Her Dad is just trying to be a real parent. But I guess you guys prefer someone like Paris' dad who while his daughter puts out a sex tape and whores it up all around town he continues to give her access millions of dollars while being no where in sight. Yeah b/c that's parenting to be proud of.

      Fact is if Billy wasn't trying to be a real Dad and protect/help his daughter through this, you'd all be just fine hating on Miley alone. But Lord have mercy, someone in Hollywood actually trying to stand up for their kid and you guys just can't take it.

      Sad.

      Re: Dontl

      Exactly! I'm sure he'd love to quit talking about it as soon as people quit ASKING him about it in interviews constantly!

      31

      GOOD LORD PEREZ…

      HE didnt bring it up…SHE DID.

      He even mentioned "The more you stomp in poop, the more it stinks" MEANING…..stop talking about it and bringing up negativity!!

    32. Lucy says – reply to this


      32

      Um wtf? That woman started the subject about the Vanity Vair pictures, not Billy Ray Cyrus. He's just answering the question. He didn't do it like 'oh hey let's talk about that again'. geez

    33. ameli says – reply to this


      33

      actually, merideth brought up the vanity fair issue, not billy rae cyrus. she asked it while they were talking about nashville star.



    34. 34

      Did he have Mylie juice on his breath?

    35. susan says – reply to this


      35

      I saw this interview this morning and thought he handled it very well. Meredith brought it up and he did not blame anyone. He just said things in life happen and we learn and move on. Fall down and get back up. He even said he liked Annie and has worked with her before. So i suppose the trust was there and he had a flight to Iraq he couldn't miss.
      EVERYONE ELSE needs to move on. The family already has. He was only there to promote his new show.

    36. john says – reply to this


      36

      Perez….did you actually watch it? He was ASKED about it. He didn't just bring it up. I didn't think he had harsh words for them. Your credibility is going out the window quick.

    37. poop says – reply to this


      37

      wow, what a jackass! when i saw BRC in the crowd before the break, i told my husband that he would probably wear his sunglasses in the interview. matt lauer wouldn't even dignify that white trash idiot with an interview. i'm sure he was thinking, just as i was, what a class act tim russert was and how someone so good and decent and brilliant had to die, while this clown gets to live and make millions off of his daughter. billy ray cyrus should take a page from the russert book of parenting and focus on his daughter's education. i'm sure she will be pregnant or in rehab before she's twenty. he doesn't care though because she's the family cash cow. he and dina lohan should die.

    38. Amy says – reply to this


      38

      Perez– you are the one that needs to move on now… His words did not seem harsh and he was asked about them… He said "these things happen and we need to move on, that's life". That does not seem harsh at all. You can't stand that little girl and you should keep your mouth closed when it comes to her. I have never posted here about it but I get sick of reading you bash her. She is kid… You need to get over it….

    39. FATHO says – reply to this


      39

      get a life perez, she asked him and that's why talked about it. Do you get money for bashing Miley Cyrus JUST LIKE KATY PERRY PAYS YOU TO BASH LILLY ALLEN?

      you really suck mario, don't you have any talent? go doing something usefull like sewing your own clothingline, instead of letting poor childlaborous in Taiwan do it.

      Re: Shaza
      i agree with the coattails comment.

      but, whatever. they're not the worst thing that's happened. some one should have informed him on a more dignified way to deal with this, though, and, that picture of the two of them IS a little on the weird side. but, this is old news.

      TEAM CYRUS CLAN!

      44

      That STUPID Meredith Viera asked him about it as though he had killed someone. SHE is the one you should be ripping on here, not Billy Ray.

      I can't stand Meredith Viera. Drunk idiot.

      45

      Fatty Perez.. you suck.. you tried t make this non-story into an story. He was aksed about it.. and he didn't say anything bad about the photographers… and the sad part thing is.. he did say he didn't see the pics before they went into the mag. That is such a lie.. of course he saw the pics before they went into the magazine.. they all did.. Billy Ray…. white trash, Miley, white trash… Fatty Perez…. just plane ole trash….

    46. go aw says – reply to this


      46

      Um, Billy Ray is not a "real Dad", he's a showbiz dad and no better than a creepy Joe Simpson. These parents are disgusting. Fame and the Hollywood machine will turn his daughter out. He's not "protecting" her at all, he's pimping her out and pretending that just because he's *there* for the photo shoot that it must mean he cares more and is more *hands on*. I personally would never put my children out there for public consumption, allowing them to do their own interviews at 15 and navigating their way through a very adult industry. it's bad enough that you allow your kid to be a child star, but to capitalize on that even further with photo shoots is obnoxious. Why is a 15 year old posing in Vanity Fair anyway?! Isn't Teen Beat still around??

    47. amber says – reply to this

      Meredith is the one that brought it up! The media needs to get over it and leave the little girl alone!

      The deal is, the photos could have been proofed via the internet….

      49

      In the video he said he wasn't there for the shoot only for the pictures he took with Miley, but even those were unacceptable. If Miley has enough responsibility to do what she does now I think she knows enough to know that when you are 14 or 15 or however old she is and a photographer asks you to take your shirt off you say no. Especially when your fans are 8 years old.
      This just shows that her and her parents have bad judgment and have let mileys so called "success" take over from the realization that she is just a young child.

      I love that he keeps bringing it back to his failed music career and Doc ( a failed tv show). I'm sure all they see when they look at their kids are money signs.

      52

      perez, why are you such a liar? he was 1) asked about the pictures & 2) expressed no 'harsh words' for the magazine or annie. what's your deal? do you not recognize that your whole reader base is growing tired of your petty, shallow self induging website? own up for being less than honest and more than unkind - and change your ways!

      meredith wouldnt let it alone, he seemed cool about the whole thing.



    54. 54

      I like how everytime they are talking about Miley he starts talking about his own career. What a dumbass. I do feel sorry for Miley.

      omg perez they asked him about the pics maybe you need to get over it already.

    56. Micha says – reply to this


      56

      Perez…Did you even view this video before you made your comments? Billy Ray did not have ANY harsh words for the photographer or the magazine. In fact, he was very easy going about the entire situation!

      Once again, you spread hurtful comments about people, and have nothing to back it up with. Do your homework before you make comments like that!

    57. oh says – reply to this


      57

      not being funny, but they were hardly harsh words?
      he seems pretty chilled about the whole thing?
      and as everyone else has said, he was asked about it, it wasnt brought up by him.
      dear me perez.



    58. 58

      Hes talking about it because Meredith brought it up!!! Geez

    59. and says – reply to this


      59

      whats the betting you dont even bother reading these comments?
      maybe you should take some time out to sit and read them, and realise people are getting a bit pissed off with some of the things you say
      i love checking out this site, but some of the things said on it dont half get my back up
      just be careful perez, youre losing support

      Ultimate stage dad! He is a has-been who exploits his daughter for his own personal gain. What's up with the shades in the studio? He looks like a jerk. The "good-ole boy" dialect really gets to me. Not everyone from the south speaks in metaphors (in every sentence!) I didn't think the picture was bad but he ges on my nerves!

      Gee you pimp your daughter out for money adn then bitch when their is a back lash from the public. A real trend families pimping out their daughters over the past 8 yrs. and making women and girls look and behave like idiots. (Jess & Ash Simpleton, Brittany & what's her names Spears, Paris the Dumb Hiton, Lindsay and what's her name Blowhand, Tara Reid…the list goes on and on. The media needs to realize it's okay to be sexy and smart! It's also okay to be attractive and not have plastic boobs and weight 80 lbs. - yuck!

      65

      you didn't pay attention. Billy Ray didn't bring up the pictures - Meredith did. Also, his response was - things happen - you learn and move on. Get it together Perez.

    66. yeeee says – reply to this

      he was asked the questions, so of course hes gotta answer them.

      69

      What harsh words? Perez, you're an idiot, as usual. He's obviously not that upset about it, and he shouldn't be. The media tried to make this into something bigger than it was, not the dad.

      oh dio, who cares?! it was her SHOULDER!!!!! and when this first came out, didn't reports say her parents were there all day and approved everything at the shoot? now billy says he wasn't…lies!



    71. 71

      NOT A FAN OF BILLY RAY, BUT… MEREDITH BROUGHT IT UP, NOT HIM.
      .
      I'VE NOTICED OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS THAT THE TODAY SHOW TEAM HAS TURNED INTO BOTTOM FEEDING SMUT MERCHANTS. THEY SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED BUT I DOUBT THEY ARE.
      .
      IT IS ALMOST LIKE WATCHING JERRY SPRINGER!!
      .
      THE MORNING AFTER ONE OF THE CLINTON OBAMA DEBATES, MEREDITH'S FIRST QUESTION WAS ABOUT BILL CLINTON AND MONICA LEWINSKY.
      .
      MATT & MEREDITH = TRASH

      Okay, anyone with half a brain could tell that he didn't bring up the issue himself. HE GOT ASKED. He didn't have a choice. You are insinuating that he was the one who started talking about it.

      73

      miley studied acting?
      wow i would have never guessed.
      she sucks at acting soo much!
      i think its funny how whenever she does something wrong.. she always apologizes.
      she's 15 she can think for herself, when they told her to take her shirt off
      i think she could have said no on her own
      but i guess she always needs daddy there to make every decision for her since she obviously can't think on her own.
      she has had everything handed to her since she was little.
      to me and im sure to many people too we know she is fake and if daddy hadn't always been there she would have none of this "fame"
      she's a major slut too.. i swear everyweek people are talking about how she has a new boyfriend… or there are pictures of her all over a guy
      if she hasn't gotten it already.. she needs to go back to texas or wherever and go pick up crap.. where she belongs

      billy ray cyrus secretly wants his daughters pooter.

    91. Alexa says – reply to this


      91

      Okay first, he was ASKED about the photos. If he would have brought them up on his own then perhaps I could see your complaint.

      Second, if he would have stalled or tried to avoid answering the questions the title would have read "Billy Ray Dodges The Media About Daughter Miley's Recent Photo Scandal." It is a damned if you do, damned if you don't catch 22 situation.

      I think that the Cyrus family has accepted the fact that there are a group of people in the world who don't like them. And that is fine, no law that says people have to. BUT the spin doctoring going on is ridiculous.

      I just hope that the Jo Bros, Demi Lovato, or any other celebs who currently have all the Miley haters firmly planted on their jocks never make any mistakes EVER in life. They will be crucified in the media by adults twice their age, have words that most sailors don't use associated with them, or have drawing pasted on their pictures that are vulgar, rude, and downright lewd.
