Idiotic former country singer Billy Ray Cyrus has announced that making his daughter star in kiddie TV show Hannah Montana has “destroyed my family.” He also said “I’m scared for Miley,” and suggested she might go out like Michael Jackson.
Now, I’m not The Stranger‘s Parenting Issues Editor. (That’s Charles Mudede.) And, in fact, I am not even a parent. But I would like to offer a tip to Billy Ray Cyrus: Instead of talking to GQ and random followers on Twitter about your daughter’s behavior, maybe you should talk to your daughter about her behavior. You disgusting little man.
But, Billy Ray, she’s only being Miley!
Miley refers to him as Billy, might be the problem.
It takes a village.
Welp, since she’s smokin’ pot, she’s right close to OD’ing on dilaudid.
He also blames David Lynch for Hannah Montana. As Red Foreman would say, “Dumbass”.
If only we heeded Bill Hicks’ advice so long ago.
A good parent always blames their children for their divorce. Usually publicly. Also, his hair.
@2 I like your understanding of causality.
He also blames “The Devil” for his family’s problems (drugs, break-up, horrible music and television programming, etc). Yeah…that’s the way to go. Don’t accept any responsibility for your live being fucked up. It’s “the devil”. They are just pawns in the whole Good vs. Evil kerfuffel.
What has she done that’s so bad? Smoked some pot/silvia? Showed up mostly naked in a few photos? Dated idiots? Nothing about that is outside the usual 18-year-old experience these days. He should chill out and be glad he’s raising Hannah Montana, not Montana Fishburne.
Oh, salvia. I stand corrected. Fuck, she’s going straight to elven hell for this.
All things considered Miley is doing pretty damn well for a celebrity kid. Nothing she’s done is terribly out of the norm for teens breaking away from their parents. She’s just doing it in view of the paparazzi instead of at college.
So he supports a father’s right to abortion now?
Moral of the story: Father’s need to screw their show biz daughters for every penny they make BEFORE they turn 18. I think that’s what he is really upset about.
Remember that one time Billy Ray Cyrus make got Sam Machkovech fired from Amazon? He’s a fuckface.
@9 – But only for about 30-seconds.
@ 6 – I’m pretty sure Basehead @2 was just poking a bit of fun at Charles Mudede’s post here.
@8, 10, 11 I too fail to see what Miley’s done to be scared for. Seems to be handling the transition to adult celebrity better than most. Maybe we’re missing something. More likely though, BRC’s just upset about losing her a prop to his own faded faded celebrity.
@5: OH MY GOD, I KNOW, RIGHT? Seriously, BRC, what is going ON with the moptop?
@14: He whaaaaat?!
@4: “He also blames David Lynch for Hannah Montana”
WHAT
I missed the part where he isn’t *also* talking to Miley.
Sad excuse for a man. Maybe we need a modern Cliff Huxtable. Those parents on Modern Family are a little too self-aware.
Maybe he shouldn’t have done the Romance Novel Cover photo shoot with her when she was 14. That was creepy.
These people crave fame and fortune and when they get it, they cry and complain. FUCK YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER, DIRTBAG!
