Miley Apologizes For Racially Offensive Photo - Sorta.
Finally!
After ignoring the controversy for several days, Miley Cyrus is finally addressing that photo where she and her friends are slanting their eyes and mocking Asian people.
In a message on her official fansite, the Disney star says:
"Ive also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! Well, Im sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context!
In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy
face. When did that become newsworthy? It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing to me. If that would of been anyone else, it would of been overlooked! I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new 'BAD GIRL'!"I feel like now that Britney is back on top of her game again, they need someone to pick on! Lucky me! haha Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know what is on my heart. You guys know me and have been by my side every step of the way!
You guys know my heart and know the most important things to me are my friends, family, fans, and GOD! In NO WAY do I want to disappoint any of you! But, when I have made mistakes in the past, I feel like Ive owned up to them and apologized.
Anyway, I really wish everyone would stop focusing on my personal life and get back to focusing on what I love! Music and Acting! Hopefully, I will be touring again this fall! Yayy! =] It will be a nice change to be back out on the road
again! xoxo Blessings.. Miley =)
Hmmmm….
Is that enough?????
Do U think Miley offered an adequate apology? Was she sincere?????
Thoughts?????

A Worthwhile Cause
Etta James Wants Beyonce's Ass Whopped!
this whole "controversy" is reallyyy stupid!! i feel really bad for her and shes right people are trying to make her into a bad girl and waiting for her to fall but shes doing good and everyone needs to get over the past !!
Re: MERdvm – Re: NJK – Re: jasmin2 –
right on you guys each of you hit each point…i agree with you guys 100% i like some of her songs (don't think she can sing well but then again who can nowadays) but she needs to be responsible the fact is she isn't a kid anymore even when i was that age i knew how to carry myself with dignity and respect for myself and other people around me.
OMG, so she just insulted more people? Sounds like:1) she’s sorry everyone out there is not funny like her 2) she thinks Asian are goofy looking and 3) as a Role model to kids out there it is ok for her to teach impressionable young kids to make fun of goofy people- only the day when she's chooses to not being a role model… but when she's just a regular person. Can u shut that off? Um does is she having an identity crisis… is she Hanna or Miley?!? Hmmm List when ur famous tween: 1) disrespect costars - Selena and Demi, 2) disrespect Disney - photos with dad and "leaked underwear photos" and 3) disrespect the largest population of kids that can buy her music cause she can understand what is wrong? That’s would be first class ticket to hell. (Put her in a room when there are more then one Asian guy in the room, they would have kicked her trailer trash ass). That would be funny… you know like goofy funny.
She's wearing a Iron Maiden t shirt. Is nothing sacred any more?
No, that half-assed apology don't mean shit.
For all you fucktards out there defending this little bigot. SHE IS A DISNEY STAR with MILLIONS of YOUNG FANS! You don't think all that million she's making can't teach her how to behave?
TOLERATING RACISM, PROMOTES RACISM. Miley just taught all her millions of fans how to mock Asians and if you "THINK" this is okay because she's only 16 then this says a lot about you, your morals, and how your children will end up.
haha okay i love miley but…
it's "would have" not "would of"
please use proper grammar child
Alright, fuck this bitch. She has to be the dumbest fucking moron I have ever seen. She has not even a basic grasp of the English language, for starters, "If that would of been anyone else" ok bitch, it should read "If that would HAVE.." but I think what you were going for was "would've", and of course you make the mistake again. Then you say "…I feel like Ive owned up to them and apologized" again, wrong. It should read "…I feel like Ive HONED up…" but I suppose we can't blame for being a retard considering you still believe in an imaginary friend. I just wish these fucking celebrities would just shut the fuck up and do their jobs, specifically the idiots and religious zealots. Tom Cruise and Nia Long, you are on my shit-list too. Really anyone who thanks God and pushes their faith at awards shows and any other chance they get, fucking jerk-offs.
she shouldnt of had to apologize in the first place
The only person in that photo not making that 'goofy' face is the Asian guy.. I feel sorry for him - NOT Miley. I don't believe Miley's apology or 'excuse' for a single second.. I also feel terribly sorry for Miley's PR/manager.. I hope he/she is getting paid top dollar to look after this girls public relations. I would think more highly of her if she had just come clean and said, "Hey, I'm sorry.. we were making fun of Asians etc etc.. I'm just a kid, kids do this sort of stuff blah blah.. "
oh hells naw
i am asian and read that
it does NOT sound like an apology it sounds like she's using the situation to tell everyone to get out of her personal life
what
the
fuck
If that's an apology then acting class isn't the only thing she should be attending.
wtf is she wearing?
When did "I'm sorry you guys took it wrong" become an apology for her actions.?
Is this one of the Olsen twins?
Goofy Faces? Is she serious? The fact that she doesnt see that this is a problem is kind of disturbing.
This could not in the slightest be interpreted as an apology. It is offensive that Miley Cyrus would even go so far as to DEFEND herself. Making silly faces?? PLEASE. Those squinted eyes and peace signs are blatant mockeries of the Asian race. As an Asian American, I am appalled by the idiocy of a girl who is only one year younger than I. I am still shocked that people think it alright to make racist gestures such as the ones made in that picture, and that it does not spark an outrage. Acts of racism against Asians are so ridiculously NOT taboo in today's popular culture, and that is demonstrated by the existence of Cyrus' recent photograph and the fact that she has yet to actually say "I'm sorry".
perez, honestly, shut up
if miley were caught talking like a ghetto girl from the projects someone would be bound to find it offensive. if she were doing anything remotely questionable she would be put up to blame for it, but don't we all do questionable things, leave her alone, shes an idiot anyway.
is that enough?
was i sincere?
THOUGHTS?
god damn
That Miley Cryus…it's always the media's fault, isn't it? Take responsibility and learn how to make a proper apology! She did the same thing with Demi and Selena as well. She needs to learn some respect and start being sinceare. She's a bitch and I can't wait for when she ends up in rehab with no career.
She totally turned a potentially sincere appology into an uneccessary promotion of herself. At the end, she switched it around to how much her fans love her and how good of a person she is…
Ughh annoyingg…
boring. can't wait for hannah montana to disappear forever like lizzy mcguire. bc it will happen. and then we won't have to hear from her all the time.
who gives a shit about that picture. it wasnt offensive so everyone get over it.
so not an apology. i feel she does all these shananagans for press, cause if she didn't, she wouldn't be on the news. she knows what she's doing to get attention and she's really good at it. but she doesn't need to act like she's not loving it. like her life's all drama and peeps making her the "bad girl."she feels like she's the next best thing to britney spears?? please. no comparison.
you're a douche. all kids make silly faces.
my 7 and 8 yr olds make the same faces she did,
omg they are racist? umm…no.
get off of this girl already…we all know you hate
her.
Good. Now where's the apology for those boots?
Would have, not would of.
This is so ridiculous. Seriously. She is a kid taking a pic with friends. She didn't do this at a photoshoot for Disney or anything. Lay off her for real. She's only 16.
so asians…have "goofy faces"?
-bitch-
seriously, what is this chick famous for?
she has no talent, and she's not even that pretty
and her teeth are effed up.
get a stylist.
What a spoiled little brat. Granted she is just a teenager, her father should have raised her to know that its not ok to make fun of people. Not to mention, she is famous and in the public eye so she should just be careful all together about what she does and what she says. Just cause she's a kid doesn't make it okay especially because now there are probably thousands of little girls around the country who now think it's okay to make fun of not only asians but anybody they want to and not say sorry and its okay…"But Hannah Montana did it!" See the point?
that's exactly what i would have said. i think this is a perfect apology because she said that she did not mean to make fun of anyone, and that the press is making her seem like a bad girl now that there's nothing else exciting. these are both true!! miley was just having fun. she wasn't making fun of anyone (she was even with an asian person in that photo), she was just having a good time. love ya miley
when all of us get drunk and take pictures of ourselves with kissy faces are we making fun of people with belles pallsy or cleft-palets? no. miley is with her friends, making a funny face, WITH someone of the asian persuasion… people need to back off on things like this and start bothering the celebs that doing way worse things.
Re: catxcore – Are you as stupid as you look you fucking look, you bigot?
Gotta go with Miley on this one. I have, in the distant past of my teenaged years, made that exact face for a picture and it had nothing to do with ethnicity. You do it to look tired and dopy. Stupid? yes. Malicious? No.
We forgive her. Now let's move on so she can replace that aging hag madonna as the new queen of pop.
whatevs!
SHES FYCKING 16!!!!! OMG, LET IT BE AND LET GO!
i cant believe she thinks she's the new britney. HA
she's so stupid! she kept sayin "it would OF been…" instead of "It would have been" hahahahahahaha! ditz! she and jessica alba should hang out, go back to school or something..
haha
she didnt need to try and make a goofy face,
her face is already goofy lookinggg.
She shouldn't have had to apologize.
Re: GoBritneyBitch – #32 Perez needs to be put in jail for being so damn U-GL-Y.., his parents don't have no Alibi.

Two ugly people having kids should be against the law!!!!
No the girls and guys in that photo were imitating Miley but they couldn't find blond wigs.
She have tiny eyes, no one notice that?
she didnt even need to say this much, i would not have acknowledged it at all…just the media trying to stir up drama
What concerns me more than the squinty eyes is the fact that everyone in that picture looks considerably older than she is.
She didn't even need to apologize.
Kudos to her.
I love Miley, but was this honestly the best she could do?
Seriously, Miley, ily, but at least own up to this?
hey perez! i commented a photo of hers before saying she was trying to be like Trace's girlfriend Hannah Beth. if you want proof that i'm one hundred percent right, go to hannah beth's myspace and look at her pictures. she even has a pic in THESE TIGHTS!!!
They look much better on HB…. just saying.
she is just an idiot. "In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy face." now she has to apologize for calling asian people's face goofy.!!
Miley's a total dumb ass. You can tell she thinks what she did was perfectly okay. '-_-
She needs to smarten up… and gain a real singing voice.
all that was, waas a big fuck you to everyone who felt that picture was offensive.
I think that was a good response
I mean there wasnt much to apoligize for, she didnt do anything
it was verry harmless and not a big deal
and I think she handelled it well by saying what she actually thought and nott lied and pretended to be very sorry and give some fake apology
Poor Miley! This is just a picture, its not a big deal! As Miley said, now when Britney is back on the top, they just need to pick non someone.
Btw, Miley is great rolemodel!
i hate her and she should really stop and keep it on the down low
that dumb bitch,you can clearly tell it was just "goofy faces" theirs an asian in the middle and the others have their eyes slanted.She's one dumb bitch,if your gonna apologize do it rite and dont beat around the bush.fuck yes your 16 and your age fkn shows!!!
well.her answers sounds sincere for a teen
but wtf!she's an artist.shouldnt she have more mature apologizes??
didnt her daddy taught her?
Hahaha totally agree with Mistress. This girl is full of shit. Buy some new tights. Please.
Re: laynie –
hi sorry but just because an asian person is there, does not make it okay.
and besides, he is like the closest to the camera, everyone else is behind him. What if they're doing it behind him to make fun of him? He may know, but still. They're a bunch of douche bags. And miley is a whore.
haha..notice how theres an asian-looking dude in the background
wow, what the fuck, leave her alone
Can we just leave it at,
Shes a no good pathetic attention whore wannabe poser WHO THINKS SHES HOTT. With a retarded face, and a voice to match,
Who's friends are old enough to be her parents??
Cause seriously.
Everybody hates Miley fucking cyrus.
:/
THANK YOU MILEY FOR NOT BOWING DOWN TO THIS BS AND NOT APOLOGIZING…PEOPLE NEED TO GROW UP
oh who cares? She made a goofy face in a photo, no big deal. People around where I live do that all the time.
" In NO WAY do I want to disappoint any of you! "
BULLSHIT !
Re: GoBritneyBitch –
……I think you like Miley Cyrus,
So what? You say,
Um, this isnt the first time this little whore messed up,
With her pictures of her un attractive body,
Boyfriends like 10 years older then her,
C'mon,
Seriously?
I wouldnt be telling Perez to lay off :/
i am asian. i don't really give a shit what she does. i think if she was making fun of asians, whatever, if she wasn't, whatever.
if god was in her heart she woulndt have been texting in church -.-
I hate how people say that "since there is an Asian there, it's okay!" No, it does not. Does that Asian even represent all the other Asians out there? I think not. Anyway, what she wrote wasn't an apology at all. It's moreso of a denial. She doesn't even say that she is sorry or anything. And keep in mind that the Asian people are very critical of people. An example is the Edison Chen photo scandal. I mean, the guy had to quit show business because of it. Well his decision, but…
And it's 'would have', not 'would of'. In her Message. I'm a grammar nazi.
hahahahaha wow okay maybe if it was just her making that slanty eye face but no it was all of the ppl in that photo, that obviously wasn't just a goofy face dumb bitch. and hellllloooo? she's a CELEBRITY personal life is the whole great thing about being famous! you're whole life is on tv; DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!
gah, she just makes me wanna strangle her!!!! I FUCKING HATE HER FUCKING GUTS!
I signed up just so I could comment on this dumb bitches 'apology'
How were you not making fun of any ethnicity? clearly you were mocking the Asian people because you along with every other white person in that picture were doing the same thing. With the ONE Asian boy there. are you stupid, do you think that we all really believe that happened by chance? YOU were probably the one that orchestrated what 'goofy face' you were going to do. Oh and calling it a 'goofy face' is just saying that the Asain people have goofy faces. think about what you say, idiot.
and get over yourself.. everything you do is "NEWSWORTHY" your a celebrity, and everyone knows you (which is unfortunate).
Maybe if you stopped doing stupid shit then they'd pick on someone else. The reference to Britney Spears wasn't necessary. Good for her, she's doing well. She's picked her life back up, something you won't be able to do after you fuck yourself over.. which you're heading towards mighty fast. (hopefully) I wouldn't mind hearing less about Stupid Slutty Cyrus.
She's an absolute idiot.
and I can't stand listening to the broad talk.
and.. her outfit is really ugly in that picture.
all done.
Re: KevsaWcuboy –
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What the hell does Britney have to do with Miley?!
Miley was a dumb ho before Britney made a "comeback" and will be a dumb ho after. It's her own fault for doing stupid shit to get called out on
She's making Asian eyes…and claims they were "making goofy faces." Is she trying to say that Asians have goofy faces?
She obviously hasn't gone to school enough, by the way.
Telling us "I'm sorry, I had no idea this face is offensive to Asian people," and smiling at us like we can't see the clear proof otherwise in the picture is like Michael Jackson telling us, "I'm sorry if for some reason you liberal PC pansies took offense at my actions, but I had no idea drunken preteen boys didn't like being introduced to 'little Mikey'."
If she just owned up to it, people might still be offended, but at least they'd forgive her. A lot of decent people will make fun of racial stereotypes a bit among friends, without intending any malice–but if a black guy walks in for the punch line about "n*ggers" they'd at least have the decency to offer the apology, even if the guy doesn't want one. Ultimately, the apology (or lack of one) says more about your character than the supposedly racist act itself. When a guy tells a Jew joke in front of a bunch of Jews, and apologies for being tactless and offensive, they think he's tactless and insensitive. When a guy gets drunk, blames all the problems of the world on Jews, and then claims that the Jews were being too sensitive for taking offense, then people start thinking he's anti-Semitic.
