Disney star Miley Cyrus has issued a statement apologizing for a series of racy photos that appeared on the internet last week, also for a revealing shoot for an upcoming issue of Vanity Fair magazine.
A number of photos circulated on the web early last week showing Cyrus draped across a former boyfriend and another showing off a green bra.
In a statement to People.com Cyrus states, "My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy. For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie [Leibovitz]. I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed."
"The pictures of me on the Internet were silly, inappropriate shots. I appreciate all the support of my fans, and hope they understand that along the way I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect. I never intended for any of this to happen and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone."
Cyrus adds, "Most of all, I have let myself down. I will learn from my mistakes and trust my support team. My family and my faith will guide me through my life’s journey."
The 15-year-old’s employer, Disney, issued their own statement about the Vanity Fair controversy in which Cyrus appears to pose topless.
"Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines," the statement reads.
