Its a pathetic state of events when a father blames a network or a television show for the demise of his family. Its a great life example though of how greed and living vicariously through a child does nothing but destroy the purity of what a family should be.
Mr. Achy Breaky is feeling it now. In a December interview with GQ Billy Ray Cyrus wishes the mega hit “Hannah Montana” never happened. Wishes he had stopped the fame train. I don’t see mention of him wishing he didn’t jump on to that same train for his own profit but I’m sure in his heart or in his soul its there. I’ve covered this before. A child should trust their parents to do whats best for them. A child’s job is to do nothing but be a child. Think about it you basically have 16 years to not have to fend for yourself (if you’re lucky). Your parents, and of course I’m speaking law of averages so please no stories of how you’ve raised yourself since you were 7 in the jungle or something. There are extreme cases, save those for Doctor Phil.
The damn show destroyed my family,” Cyrus told GQ magazine in an interview for its March edition. “I’d take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just everybody be okay, safe and sound and happy and normal would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah. I’d erase it all in a second if I could.”
Well, no the show didn’t, you did. You didn’t set restrictions and guidelines for a healthy relationship with fame. You blew it like a crack whore and now? Well now he has the nerve to compare his daughter to Kurt Cobain and Anna Nicole Smith. Are you kidding me? What a terrible terrible thing to even say. Parents make mistakes, responsible parents help fix them with all their might. Billy Ray needs help
“I’m scared for her,” Cyrus said of Miley. “She’s got a lot of people around her that’s putting her in a great deal of danger. I know she’s 18 but I still feel like, as her daddy, I’d like to try to help. Take care of her just a little bit, to at least get her out of danger.
“I want to get her sheltered from the storm. Stop the insanity for a minute. When you go through what she’s been through, it takes a beating on you,” he said.
Daddy you’re the one who put her in peril. You dressed her up, made her a vehicle to jump start your career and rode her coat tails. This is by far the saddest story I’ve read in forever. As a mother it hurts like you would not believe to see a a beautiful and talented girl exploited. What difference is this than selling them to slavery? Not much,we dont emotionally support them we get caught in the mania the victim? The child. The fortunes should be spent on therapy to help her handle this all and at age 18 the ability to get away from the pimp of a father who sent his baby down the wrong path.
