Billy Ray fears for Miley
Will she become another Anna Nicole?
In an uber-revealing,
uber-melodramatic interview in GQ, the country star blames
"Hannah Montana" and the evils of Hollywood for tearing his family
apart.
"I'll tell you right now -- the
damn show destroyed my family," he tells GQ. "It's all sad."
When asked whether he viewed his family as under attack by Satan, the
God-fearing
singer and showbiz dad responds: "I think we are right now. No doubt.
There's no doubt about it."
He fears for the future of his
megastar daughter, Miley, as she grows up and makes mistakes in the
public eye.
"I'm scared for her," he says. "She's got a lot of people around her
that's putting her in a great
deal of danger. I know she's 18, but I still feel like as her daddy I'd
like to try to help. At least
get her out of danger. I want to get her sheltered from the storm. Stop
the insanity just for a minute."
Fired up, Cyrus rambles on about such casualties of fame as Michael
Jackson, Anna Nicole Smith
and Kurt Cobain, drawing a somewhat bizarre analogy between Cobain and
his daughter (who seems
legitimately confident and self-loving).
"That's why I'm concerned about Miley," he says, referring to Cobain.
"I think that his world
was just spinning so fast and he had so many people around him that
didn't help him.
Like Anna Nicole Smith -- you could see that train wreck coming."
Bill, I have some advice for you:
Number One, fuck all that Satan horseshit and concentrate on the real threats.
Hollywood is full of sharks and you're just now finding that out?
Now that your daughter has been grown into a billion dollar sex machine,
NOW you're wondering what you could've done differently?
Where the hell were you when she was 12, 14, and 16?
You just stood by and let them tart her up?
You did everything BUT drive her over to Paris Hilton's house.
If *I* had a daughter in Hollywood she wouldn't be pole dancing at 16.
And since when are pants optional for a girl too young to vote?
Where were you when she was a MINOR and you could control her?
You should've been worried about her in 2007, not 2011, Billy Ray.
He went on to say:
"I've never made a dime off Miley. You got a lot of people have made percentages off of her.
I'm proud to say to this day I've never made one commissioned dollar, or dime, off of my daughter."
Maybe that's the problem - where the hell were you?
You just turned her over to those TV jackals like she was Charlie Sheen?
The barn's empty, Billy Ray, and you're out shopping for new barn doors?
I feel for you, but I'm also real glad you're not my Dad.
Last thing, Billy Ray.
You need to go to Church!
