Annie Leibovitz Defends Controversial Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair Photos, Says Picture “Misinterpreted”
Annie Leibovitz is an artist — there’s no disputing that. Her famed pictures of celebrities are top notch, and yes, sometimes controversial. The latest Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair photo, featuring the Hannah Montana star topless, but well protected by a satin sheet, is causing quite the buzz today.
And why not — at the center of it all is a wholesome 15-year-old Disney star — Miley Cyrus has been one of the better positive role models for young girls, but her increasingly scandalous behavior (you know the many racy pictures of Miley Cyrus on the Internet) are causing some raised eyebrows.
Annie Leibovitz released the following statement, defending the controverisal semi-nude picture she took of Miley Cyrus for Vanity Fair, saying:
“I’m sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted. Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together, and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it.
The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful.”
