Apr-28-2008 10:57TweetFollow @OregonNews Miley Cyrus Semi-Nude Photo Takes Internet by StormSalem-News.comExecutives at the Disney Channel are furious about the shot, which is a far cry from the star’s usual squeaky-clean image.
(NEW YORK) - 15-year-old Miley Cyrus, teen idol and star of the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana, was pictured half-nude and topless, with only a satin sheet or blanket protecting her modesty for the June issue of Vanity Fair. The photo was taken by famed celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz. Cyrus said that she was happy with the shot, declaring it "really artsy". But she has had a change of heart now that the picture is in the public domain. "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," she said in a statement. Executives at the Disney Channel are furious about the shot, which is a far cry from the star’s usual squeaky-clean image. A spokesman for the network said: "Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines." But Vanity Fair defended the photo in this statement: "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." Miley's sister, 8-year-old Noah, was at the shoot, along with father multi-platinum recording artist Billy Ray Cyrus.

Natalie December 22, 2010 1:08 pm (Pacific time)
The cute girl grew up fast like every other girl. So what? At least the photo is not tasteless. Strange that everybody complains about her pic but not her photographer exploiting children.
Ruby December 22, 2010 12:25 am (Pacific time)
You people are acting stupid. I bet most of you have shown your back off...it's no worse than being in a bikini. I'm not a big fan of her but to hate her for this is just stupid.
jamie June 18, 2010 5:36 pm (Pacific time)
She is a discusting young girl!!! She should be banned from performing her sick half naket gyrations in front of young audiences!!!!! Where are her parents?

leaveheralone October 28, 2008 6:19 am (Pacific time)
dont be carried away by their criticisms miley.. just keep doing ur show nd keep up the good work!
Lil September 3, 2008 12:16 am (Pacific time)
I think it is a visually beautiful image regardless of age etc. I think everyone needs to forget about what they should think and just view it as a stunning piece of art.
NATALIE101 July 27, 2008 9:57 pm (Pacific time)
I THINK SHE WAS REALLY STUIPD TO DO THAT!
Steve July 26, 2008 1:40 pm (Pacific time)
The problem here is that she is only 15. This is a very sexually provocative photo. I sure would not let my 15 year old daughter pose like this. I believe the Cyrus family knew exactly what they were doing and did it just to make more money.
Freddy R July 17, 2008 9:10 am (Pacific time)
Ok guys would u just leave her alone so she made one mistake everyone makes them besides she probably feel bad enought now she has to hear and read about how poeple feel about her cmon people and shes not even showing any privates what's the huge deal am with u all the way miley ur fan from NY

taarox96 June 5, 2008 2:20 pm (Pacific time)
i used to be a really big fan of her. but now she is becoming a retard who thinks she'll get people to like her because she poses half naked. i also think shes just trying to get nick jonas back. what a loser!

i no this is old, but this really isn't all that bad, is it? i hate miley and all she stands for, but i really don't think it's all that bad.
ZH May 15, 2008 10:42 am (Pacific time)
That was a bad mood for her career wise, and it doesnt say much about her parents as they were there watching, bad parents in my opinion, how can you let your daughter do that no matter how artistic it may seem, never mind that the media is always trying to twist things in any way they can...the parents are to blame
Wisam Katoue May 15, 2008 7:11 am (Pacific time)
Hi u guys grow up if she was on a beach or at prom night she would show more of her body in a dress or bikini so grow up.
TYLAR H May 12, 2008 7:23 pm (Pacific time)
HEY MILEY WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? THAT COULD RUIN YOUR CAREER.
May 12, 2008 4:17 pm (Pacific time)
miley cyrus is a good singer and she is extremly HOT!!!!!!!
bobo May 12, 2008 2:21 pm (Pacific time)
Miley is WAY too young for this! i mean, i get that she wants attention and all, but this is setting a very bad example for all those younger fans of hers! just saying sorry isnt really gonna help AT ALL!
An_Cafe May 12, 2008 12:08 pm (Pacific time)
Miley sings worse than a dog! She looks like a horse and needs to go choke on a pole! i wish she would just quit singing and go hide somewhere far away in a madhouse! After all she is untalented.
Randomnesss May 12, 2008 12:05 pm (Pacific time)
looks different in the pic but still HOT!!!!!!!!
Lol. May 11, 2008 7:40 pm (Pacific time)
Okay, here is the deal.. I can see the artsy part of the photo ( i think she looks like mona lisa ) but because she has soo many fans , a lot of them young , this is stteing a bad example! I mean think Miley is great but I really hope this was a once in-a-lifetime thing.!
haley stone May 11, 2008 4:52 pm (Pacific time)

gertajana May 11, 2008 4:33 pm (Pacific time)

you people are so retarded it like youve never heard of trick photography so get a life and stop being 40 year old pervs looking for teen pictures on the internet im going around to stop people thinking this scrap because ITS NOT REAL
Sandra May 11, 2008 2:14 pm (Pacific time)
what a person she is becoming different and more stupider
May 10, 2008 10:21 pm (Pacific time)
OH COME ON PEOPLE!! the only reason everyone is reacting to this picture is because she is famous. This is how magazines and newspapers make their money. There is nothing revealing or perverted or illegal or sexual ect ect ect about this picture. The only thing revealed is her back, BIG WOW. Get a life people. This is just art.
laurie May 10, 2008 2:05 pm (Pacific time)
miley needs to stop thinking that she can do whatever she wants she is barley 15 and saying sorry is not going to help this might pass but youll always be in our minds and we will always remember what you have done. nice going and plus rom edels dont do this unlike you!!!
Moh da Bro... May 11, 2008 12:48 am (Pacific time)
Damn conniving perverts. Do you think that it has to be nasty? Do you look at baby photo's of yourself and cry?. Cry because your mother defiled you during your first steps. Or when you had your first birthday. Seriously the human body can be for more than sex... You disgust me with your indecent thoughts. Wrong ad right are relative. So the only people who find this perverted are those who were raised that way. Just how white kids were raised to hate blacks. I am 16 so I bet no one cares what I have to say but here. I see no problem with this. She only showed her back... While in china you used to be able to buy young prostitutes. You have to look at degree. No one here is god so you have no right to say what is right for all human kind.
GhostWriter May 10, 2008 1:06 pm (Pacific time)
The picture is awesome. Daddy's little girl is growing up. Critics and Bible thumpers, get a life.
brandy p. May 10, 2008 9:29 am (Pacific time)
miley your better than this dont throw your life down the drain like brittney spears or jamey spears my grandmaw want buy any clothes from you just because of that picture im your nomber 1 fan and im 11 just dont let that happen again or youll get kick of hannah montannah and i dont want that to happen next time think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i still love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miley fan2000 [andrea] May 10, 2008 7:14 am (Pacific time)
Its not Mileys fault its the photographers fault. If her parents were in there at the time that photo never would have been taken and she wouldnt and shouldnt have to say sorry for what happend in the past now. Besides the photographers made her do it. Think about it, they dress celebs up, put on their make up and pose them.
Anonymous May 10, 2008 4:22 am (Pacific time)
I don't get all the fuss. I think it's a reflection of the dirty American mind that this photo is seen in such a negative, sexualized light. To me it looks like a painting from a two hundred years ago. It is beautiful and it is artistic.
Meeee May 9, 2008 11:56 pm (Pacific time)
Another brittany? lindsay? vanessa? gosh why are all young celebritys WHORES? sad day when the young is being exploited at such an age.
hannah May 9, 2008 4:39 pm (Pacific time)
i think that this photo is really scary isnt she suppose to be our roll model now shes shown everybody what a bad influence she really is and all shes doing is just following linsay lohan and britney spears .
UK sanity check May 9, 2008 11:10 am (Pacific time)
you gues make me laugh, this is a really artistic shot, and frankly nothing is on display that you wouldn't see if she was in a bikini, The American Media makes me laugh, maybe one day you'll appreciate what Art and porn are, for now, you confuse the two, Dumb Dumb Dumb people
Gemma May 8, 2008 10:09 am (Pacific time)
This picture isn't even of Miley Cyrus. Sure she did take pictures of herself, but this isn't one of them!
danie May 8, 2008 1:37 am (Pacific time)
ok im a guy and this is just crazy cause she didn't show her whole body so and it's for vanity so what vanity show's half naked girls not whole so i think you should give this girl a break
Casey belford May 7, 2008 9:44 pm (Pacific time)
YO.
LET THIS GIRL do what she does.

i think she is suppose to be a ro-model and this is not really what a ro-model especially for little kids , but i have seen other girls and and it is wrost so i am not blamming her for being a teen
Ryan F. May 5, 2008 10:43 pm (Pacific time)
I really dont see the big deal about this whole vanity fair fiasco. I dont Know if people have nothing better to do with their time, but none the less I will have to explain my opinion, even though no one will read it because im only 16, but here it goes anyway. If Miley had a skipy little string around her in some way indicating she was wearing something under that silk, like a bikini for example, I would not be writing this coment right now nor would any one else for that matter. If you want me to debate this opinion of mine leave your coments for me to laugh at. ps.I will respond...
Casey May 4, 2008 11:47 pm (Pacific time)
It would look good for someone in their 20s but not in while they are 15, and her parents told news that they did not except to this... but later they confessed that they were there, her parents are liars.
May 4, 2008 6:55 pm (Pacific time)
I wish everyone would just leave her alone she is old enough to decide what she want to do with her life. even if that means not being on the disney channel she getting older and maybe wants to be more than just Hannah Montana. no one asked you guys to tell her what to do and i think those pics are very good.
madi May 4, 2008 11:26 am (Pacific time)
i think that you ruined everything and no one is going to look up to you. every fan is dissapointed and what are the little girls supposed to think?! nice going!
michelle osorto May 4, 2008 7:18 am (Pacific time)
Hannah Montana why did you get like that nude now i am mad at you because you got nude and they kick you out of the Disney channel but i am going to miss seeing your beautiful face and i am going to miss you
Skylar .J. Carlson May 3, 2008 11:04 pm (Pacific time)
hey guys.... shut up... its not her fault... shes just expressing herself.... maybe she thought it would be a good (artistic) picture... but its not her fault that some of the perverts that are out there have to be like dat... if you guys think shes a good role model keep it that way... you dont have to hate her for just one picture... if you really admired her... not for her looks but for her personality and originalty... then you wouldnt care what she did... yeah you would probly think its screwed up taken a picture of yourself half nude... well i wouldnt call it half nude... all u see is her back... and besides... we all have one... we see it every stinken day... so dont critisize.... just think of it this way.... all of that pressure and everything going on... sometimes its hard to handle being a star... especially a singer... yeah she has a great i mean awesome voice... but dont think that just cuz one stupid picture that you cant think that anymore... just all of you pplz think about it... its life..... its her decision............. and miley if you ever do read this i want to let you know... even though theres pplz critisizing and judging you because of one pic... dont let them get you down... your a wonderful person... and i hope you still get to go on acting and singing.... luv ya like a sister... Skylar .J. Carlson

True Fan May 3, 2008 1:12 pm (Pacific time)
I believe that no one is at fault and that it is art. You can't blame her for anything. She's not nude and it's only a back, everyone's got one.

Unknown Girl May 2, 2008 6:01 pm (Pacific time)
I can't believe that Miley Cyrus is half naked like that! That's not like her. Right now she is probably feeling gulity about what she did. I bet that Disney might fire her, like they almost did to Vanessa Hudgens. What is her Dad (Billy Ray Cyrus) thinking of right now. OMG! OMG! I thought she a good girl. I guess not. She's probably going to sue the guy that did this to her by putting her picture in a Magazine. SO CRULE! I bet she wants to be like Vanessa Hudgens. Not that I don't like her or anything but she shouldn't taken that risk of taking a picture of her semi-naked. OMG! OMG! OMG! Probably the parents that have kids that like Miley Cyrus won't let them watch her shows anymore. Just like Vanessa Hudgens.
Mike May 1, 2008 11:19 pm (Pacific time)
I see no problem with the image what-so-ever. Being an artist myself I have drawn many men and women naked and clothed and everywhere in-between. This image is semi-nude of the back, we see NOTHING of the front. Very tastefully done I thought. This is a clear case of ultra conservative people projecting their own hang-ups onto society. Just because some of you are incapable of viewing this picture without imagining X-rated situations involving a 15-year old, which lets face it, says waaay more about you than it does about the image in question, doesn't mean the image is sexual in nature.
Someone May 1, 2008 9:15 pm (Pacific time)
i may only be a teenager but what you people arent getting is that no one the age of 15,16, or younger should be doing this! Seriously do you think about what your doing in the eyes of God? Do you see how much the world has changed? Centuries ago you could only get naked in front of your husband or wife. And look at us now all you have to do is type in something sexual and press enter and there you go, you have a whole long page of pictures which is disturbing! Think about Miley's fans and look back at Adria's comment! And shut up about the Puritans, theres alot of people who think you shouldn't see a woman or man naked unless your having sex i mean seriously! How did Ashley Tisdale last longer then Miley when she is a hell of alot older!
***jazmin*** May 1, 2008 5:43 pm (Pacific time)
Dude,i feel so SORRY for you about that stupid pic.I am like one of your biggest fans and you don't see me making a big deal out of it. It's not really that big of a deal it's that there are people that can't mind there OWN buisness.You shouldn't have shame in yourself for trying to do something right.The people who should be ashamed of themselves are those who are COWARDS because they go out and say a bunch of BULL and later try to cover it up because they know that it all comes back to them.I know how you must feel rihgt know, ANGRY and SAD.But don't worry ,you are still my IDOL.

Miley Cyrus Semi-Nude Photo Takes Internet by Storm Today people are so gullible. Cheap contrived publicity at it's best. Where is your head at Billy? Annie Leibovitz well done you pulled it off, you were able to capture a child in what presents as a suggestive pose. What next? Is every little fuzzy headed fifteen year old want -to-be going to try and imitate this stupid action. The kid isn't showing anything she wouldn't show at the beach or by the pool, its the suggestive underlying inference that has everyone in a spin and this was consciously contrived photography. This could well be a dangerous precedence. I for one wouldn't like to see others try to imitate it thinking it is a pass to fame.

miley cyrus is an amazing singer and actor its stupid how shes not even showing any breast or anything else ive seen young girls wear alot worse as you can tell shes wearing jeans on and shoes its nothing bad
Adria April 30, 2008 12:57 pm (Pacific time)
I cant believe I used to look up to Miley. I always wanted to be exactly like her up until now. I went to one of her concerts and I loved it. I think she is going to be the next Britany Spears. I about fell into tears when I saw this photo all over the internet. Our school has banned any type of Miley stuff. I am really disappointed!!!!!!
robin May 1, 2008 12:43 pm (Pacific time)
What a dumb story. Really she is such a pretty girl and this shows the ugly side of what she could be... Its hideous and that is from an art side. It looks cheap and amateur. And to think I looked this up. Wow a back now that is news...
HAHAHA May 1, 2008 1:29 am (Pacific time)
damn this little hoe bag lost her contract for sure, even Ashley tisdale didn't skank out yet.

I will never understand some people. If this picture was of an unknown girl, painted in oils and hanging in a New York City art gallery no one would say a word.
True Blue April 30, 2008 10:39 pm (Pacific time)
Who says its provocative? I am so fed up with this hide the naked form. Society is so stuffed that its off back to the middle ages. Get a life people she has one and making every little puritan run to the computer just to go, Oh! My God. Look at that. Why? Because she can. Get over it.
Felisha April 30, 2008 10:26 pm (Pacific time)
Yes,it is a big deal because even though she is not showing her private parts she is still a young girl with just a SHEET covering her and nothing under that sheet.If u had children would u want your child to take photos like that being looked at by people young and old and being called names??And im not saying this because she is a celebrity im saying it because it is wrong for young girls no matter if they are or are not celebritys
Justin April 30, 2008 5:53 pm (Pacific time)
There are nudist colonies all around the world who openly post nude pictures of kids from any young age and up. Its not like she is actually naked and even if she was, its only natural. She is a role model for young girls and she is setting an example that nudity just is not about puberty. If anything, this is helping kids realize that life might just not be about mindless reproduction and something a little more important than that. People just get so worked up about something that the public eye is not used to seeing, or does not think they should be seeing. You need to lighten up a little and see things from the view that it was intended and not from the view that your mind immediately takes you to. Why do you think that no ones is looking at this and saying it is art? It is the media's fault in the first place for taking pictures or showing commercials of any person (especially women) and making it perverted. As for the stories of your personal experiences at the age of 15 or with a 15 year old relative or friend... if its that big of a deal you should take care of it and stop worrying about other peoples situations that they have in control. peace.

Women have a freedom and depth of emotion, expression, and understanding that men will never understand. This young lady is expressing just that. It's a shame that there are so many people in the world that are uncomfortable with themselves and have to project their own baggage onto this poor young lady. Shame on you people.

She's 15 get over it i got a 15yr old sis and I had to kick some guys ass last week who thought he could call my house at 6:30 in the morning. A 15 yr old will do it regardless of what is around them. The fact that all she had was a sheet signifies sex. If she was in a bikini at the beach it would be different the way she is sitting up holding the bed sheet looks like she just got &^%$# or something. It can be art but a lot of u r right it's how u portray it. Why cover her in a sheet and not a bikini or a shirt with no back. Plus it leaves the mind to wonder if the bottom half of her is covered. basically the image is set to make her look naked. In life u r only really naked for a few reasons Birth, death, bath, and sex. Seeing how she is doing neither of the first three what else does it leave you with?

Oh please, just b/c she's some famos pop star doesn't give all of you people the right to be going against her. So what if she is semi nude, she is only revealing her back people, not her breast, not anything else. If you are the kind of people that take advantage of shots like these look again, try to see the message and real beauty behind this pivture. Please leave this girl alone, who I'm shure all of you have come to like her music and acting. Believe me, I've seen many girls who are 13, 14, 15, that show a lot more than just their backs. I DO NOT see any sexual messages in this picture, so just let it go by. With love, a big fan.

N-Norm et al: How do you YOU define

While she is young, times are changing and the western world is much too prudent. Shes not naked and not showing anything. Get over youselves

Personally I Think That The Picture Is Beautiful, I See The Artsy Side Of It. The Thing That Troubles Me Is That Her Family Let Her Do This..

The dad is a sad hick that used to sport a heinous mullet and would brag about his buttocks. Poor kid never stood a chance....

Vic is "right on the money" here (4/29/8:19 am). AND "the money" is why all such shots are made, with subject okay. It is established fact that response is in large part what viewer brings to the image. For LMA assignment in Chicago, I did ONLY ten-year survey of photos used in corporate Annual Reports, where they are major tool,with interviews with 50-or-so international photographers and review of some 400-600 ARs, each year... so learned something about images and how they shaped for impact purposes. Also have had correspondence contacts with Leibovitz, re other image-impact areas also part of ongoing reports in 3 of major business/industrial photo-mags.

Hubba hubba. As a 14-yearold boy, I think she is sexy.

"I think that it is art...it certainly isnt provocative." Of course it's provocative! And why shouldn't it be? Cordially yours, Sigismmond

Why don't you burn the witch, instead of burning out her head and heart, you GD Puritans?
Cordially yours, Sigismond
Vic April 29, 2008 8:19 am (Pacific time)
I think that it is art...it certainly isnt provocative. I think in this case, the perversion is in the minds and eyes of the beholders. To the alarmists out there, "Me thinks thou dost protest a bit too much"

Her BACK is naked. OMG!!! Alert the media!!! A 15 year old has exposed her BACK to the world, we will never be the same! You freaks who think pedophilia is exposed skin need to get some counseling. What about all those cute little butt cheeks that the diaper companies use to sell their products, you must toss and turn thinking of how that baby was deprived of it's innocence huh? Leave this professional actress/singer alone. She was not exploited, she was photographed. Sorry for all you envious, mean-hearted people who look for the dark side of things even when there is nothing there. Who are you to judge anyhow? Find a REAL purpose for your criticism!

She's 15 people. 15. Not 18. It's sad enough our society supports adolescent girls dressing like sluts. Why encourage this? What good does this bring?
Citizen Joe April 28, 2008 12:52 pm (Pacific time)
I think that the make up and hair need work. Her posture is poor. I don't see it as provocative. I see a lot more every time I go to the beach.
Cristina April 28, 2008 12:45 pm (Pacific time)
I believe it is a picture intended for art purposes. The fact that the world is turned upside down today and there is so many cases of perverts in it, doesnt allow the real art and beauty of this picture to be portrayed. But oh well this is the real world and that really sucks for her.
EazyMoney April 28, 2008 12:42 pm (Pacific time)
Big deal.. OOOOhhhhh TOPPPPLESSSSS Please... Topless means boobs exposed. If one goes to a topless bar you don't see women with breasts covered behind sheets.. If they were pictures of her swimming in a bikini would that be such a big deal? She's certainly covered more in that pic than if she had a bikini on. I vote this the biggest non-news item of the month...

Oh please you bunch of 1600's puritans! You think the human body can only be viewed for sex? I would have yourself examined if you think that is all people think about. So much for giving a little credit to beauty.
Paul April 28, 2008 12:21 pm (Pacific time)
That is gross. Absolutely gross. It's almost as if this magazine wants to encourage pedophilia.
Jilly April 28, 2008 12:19 pm (Pacific time)
ok it is wrong, but seriously have you seen pictures of non-famous 15 year old girls, there have been much worse. she is in the spotligh so she should be more careful but as for those myspace pics, honestly she is being a 15 year old girl, you think those were bad look at pictures from little girls in middle school and high school in my town and your own!
Skog April 28, 2008 12:14 pm (Pacific time)
i would for 15 years old. Shoot the photographer and anyone else involved with exploiting child models like this. No questions need to be asked.
Kristi H April 28, 2008 12:02 pm (Pacific time)
What was her father thinking? This is just feed for people who love looking at provocative pictures of little girls.. C'mon Dad!
