Lately it seems that Billy Ray Cyrus’ world has been crumbling down around him. In a recent interview with GQ magazine, Miley Cyrus’ father talked about his daughter’s poor choices and out of control actions, as well as what he thinks caused the tragic breakdown of their family.
To set the stage for this present situation, let’s look back about eight months ago when Miley came out with her controversial music video, “Can’t Be Tamed.” This was certainly not the first incident that caused many to look down on her (there were others like dancing on a pole, posting suggestive pictures, and posing almost nude in a "Vanity Fair" cover…), but it is one of the most shocking, especially since she once proclaimed to be a Christian. Since then, Miley Cyrus has released other music videos that mimic the same sexual content. In addition, she has also had her fair share of scandals in the past year. Not too long ago she was caught giving a lap dance to a 44-year old man, and later on she was also video taped smoking drugs from a bong at her 18th birthday party, which was held in a bar. These actions pushed many people away, including her fans and even her own father.
According to Billy Ray Cyrus, he blames some of the downfall of his daughter on himself, saying that he wishes he would’ve been a better parent, rather than a friend. Admittedly, he also stated that the TV show that made Miley famous is destroying their lives. "I hate to say it, but yes, I do. I'd take it back in a second," said Billy Ray, talking about “Hannah Montana.”
Cyrus is certainly a concerned father and rightly so. Taking into account the path she’s on right now, he says that he doesn’t want to see Miley end up like Michael Jackson, Kurt Cobain and Anna Nicole Smith. Billy Ray expresses his concern well by saying, "I'm scared for her. She's got a lot of people around her that's putting her in a great deal of danger. I want to get her sheltered from the storm."
