NEW YORK — Singer Billy Ray Cyrus says he wasn’t around when Annie Leibovitz photographed his 15-year-old daughter, Miley, wrapped in a sheet with her back exposed for the June issue of Vanity Fair magazine.
“(Miley’s) publicist was there, and everyone seemed in control,” the 46-year-old country star said in an interview Tuesday on NBC’s “Today” show. “I didn’t know they (were) gonna strip her down and wrap her with a blanket.
“So I was surprised when I saw it, you know, but … stuff happens. That’s life. Things happen, and sometimes things get a little out of control, and you just gotta deal with life.”
Cyrus said Leibovitz is a “good person and a great photographer” but that looking back, he would have stayed to chaperone the photo shoot. The Associated Press
