Behind The Scenes At Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair Photoshoot
Posted On: April 29, 2008
Vanity Fair fired back at Disney’s allegations that they took advantage of young Miley Cyrus. Disney’s statement made it sound like Annie Leibovitz and the editors at VF gave Miley a lollipop and told her to take her clothes off and not to tell anyone. Terrified of outraged parents response to a photo of Hannah Montana Disney threw VF under the bus hard.
A Disney spokeswoman said that “a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines,”
Vanity Fair’s response was to simply post these behind the scene photos of what really happened. The pictures show a happy, relaxed Miley and as far as we can tell, there is no gun to her head at any time. Good for VF for fighting back. The following statement was also posted on the VF site with the pictures.
Um, was Cyrus—or Disney—at all anxious about this shot? “No, I mean I had a big blanket on. And I thought, This looks pretty, and really natural. I think it’s really artsy.”
