Miley Cyrus performs with stripper pole
Miley’s father Billy Ray Cyrus defended his daughter Thursday during an interview with Access Hollywood. He said “You know what? I just think that Miley loves entertaining people. She loves singing and songwriting. I always tell her to love what you’re doing and stay focused for the love of the art and not worry so much about opinion.”
In an interview with US Weekly magazine he said “I give my kids a lot of freedom to make the art they wanna make, and make it in their own voice. I think it’s important.”
Miley’s show “Hanna Montana” airs on the Disney network. Disney executives distanced themselves from the controversy. They released a statement that said “Disney Channel won’t be commenting on that performance, although parents can rest assured that all content presented on the Disney Channel is age-appropriate for our audience — kids 6-14 — and consistent with what our brand values are.”
Now, I certainly have nothing against watching females dance around a stripper pole—as long as they are adult females. Miley is not an adult. She’s only 16 years old. She’s still a child. I think she should wait a few more years before she starts using poles.
