Regarding daughter Miley Cryus‘ “lap dance” video (where she grinds on producer’s Adam Shankman‘s lap), Billy Ray Cyrus said:
“It’s what people her age do…I give my kids a lot of freedom to make the art they want to make, and make it in their own voice.”
Go directly to jail, Billy Ray. Do not pass GO and do not collect $200. First, you cannot compare Miley Cyrus to other teenagers, simply because she isn’t like the rest of them. Your daughter has record deals, concert sales, and a whole department at FAO Schwartz. She’s a brand you’ve marketed all the way to Jupiter, and while other teenagers are writing term papers about cell division, yours is filming music videos of herself playing a grand piano on a beach. Second, the fact you think lap dances are an “art form” is the worst. It’s even worse if you’re calling it such to argue that as an artist, she’s free to express herself… and gyrating on a man who’s 28 years older is a necessary part of that profession.
