Rosie O'Donnell Sort of Defends Billy Ray Cyrus

by at .

Billy Ray Cyrus may have come out and directly blamed his daughter's involvement in show business for recent troubles, but Rosie O'Donnell doesn't think he meant it.

Asked about the country singer's rant to GQ this month, in which he said Hannah Montana "destroyed my family," Rosie told Access Hollywood that Cyrus was just being a concerned parent.

“I think he’s doing what a lot of us are doing that have teenagers, including me, [saying], ‘What the hell is going on here? I thought I was in control of this place and now the kids are acting out. The animals are ruining the zoo!’”

Does O'Donnell think Hollywood is responsible for Miley's behavior? No. It's just a teenager acting like a teenager.

“A 16 or 18-year-old girl is going to separate from the parents no matter what. They’re going to smoke some salvia... they’re going to drink some beer. This is what happens when kids are 18 and they’re trying to separate."

    Doesn't anyone see the similarity here with what happened with Britney Spears? Maybe it's the case of your parents controlling you and making money out of you throughout your early teens. At some point you will want to get out and start controlling your own life. No wonder she reacts more strongly than most teenagers. There is no way that either Britney or Miley can be judged as normal teenagers anyway, since their experience is totally different.
