Hannah Montana destroyed my family: Billy Ray Cyrus
 [Arab News] Billy Ray Cyrus says the Disney TV show "Hannah Montana" destroyed his family, causing his divorce and sending daughter Miley Cyrus spinning out of control.If you haven't been paying attention, Miley Cyrus plays a sensible and likable young girl on the teevee. My grandson Sporkleman liked the show for awhile -- I think it's on Disney, but it might be Nickelodeon. Billy Ray plays her dad, and they hired some kid to play her brother. Like Lindsey Lohan and Britney Spears before her, as she's grown from a girl to a young woman she's apparently decided that being sensible and likable isn't a desirable image for her. Pushed every step of the way by Daddy, he's now unhappy with the product of all his labors... In a December interview published in the Feb. 22 issue of GQ Magazine, Cyrus said he wished the show that launched his daughter to pop stardom had never happened. "I hate to say it, but yes, I do. Yeah. I'd take it back in a second," Cyrus said. "For my family to be here and just be everybody OK, safe and sound and happy and normal, would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah. I'd erase it all in a second if I could." Cyrus and his wife, Tish, filed for divorce in October. They have three kids together -- Miley is the oldest -- and two from Tish's previous marriage. Billy Ray Cyrus said when he asked about the rumored video footage of his daughter smoking from a bong at her 18th birthday party in December, he was told it was none of his business. He refused to attend the party, saying it was wrong to have it in a bar. Posted by: Fred 2011-02-18 |
