Miley Cyrus exposed: says she regrets topless photo, but does she mean it?
Only a week after racy photos of Disney superstar Miley Cyrus appeared on the internet, comes a topless photo of the 15-year-old in the June issue of Vanity Fair. Okay, so you can't see her ta-tas -- she has a sheet wrapped around her and the photo was taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz -- but is this any way for young pop idol to be parading around? Definitely not, and Miley knows it, hence her apology before the magazine hits newsstands.
After the jump, the picture of Miley from the June issue of Vanity Fair and her questionable apology.
"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," she says. "I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about." Now this sounds more like the girl we know, who once uttered, "I've got to make really good decisions. More than just for myself, but for the girls who are watching me." The Disney Channel insists "a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines," but we have another theory: that Miley enjoyed posing for that photograph. The accompanying article was written by Vanity Fair writer Bruce Handy who quotes Miley as saying, "Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought it was really cool. That's what she wanted me to do, and you can't say no to Annie." Her final thoughts on the photo? "I think it's really artsy. It wasn't in a skanky way."
Is her apology fake? Is she wrong for posing half nude?
