Considering the fairly random people that have voiced their opinion on Miley Cyrus’ recent rash of racy photos – from Bill O’Reilly to Joe Jonas – it’s nice to hear from someone a bit closer to the situation for a change.
Annie Leibovitz is the woman behind the controversial Vanity Fair photograph that depicts Cyrus topless, albeit covered by a blanket; and she says the image “simple” and “beautiful.”
A behind-the-scenes look at one of the Miley Cyrus topless photos from Vanity Fair. It’s caused quite the uproar across entertainment news – and legitimate news – sources.
“I’m sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted,” Leibovitz said in a statement issued Monday. “Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it. The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful.”
It’s also inappropriate for a 15-year old Disney star. But that’s something Miley’s parents and handlers should have been aware of long before this scandal spiraled out of control. Unless…
… they wanted it that way. What do you think?
