Miley Cyrus Forced Billy Ray to Cancel 'The View'
Billy Ray Cyrus certainly knows how to burn a bridge. First he
angers his daughter
Miley by comparing her to Anna Nicole Smith. Then he
attacks Disney, saying 'Hannah Montana' destroyed his family. Now he goes and upsets TV legend Barbara Walters after his daughter forced him to drop out of a scheduled interview on 'The View' this week.
"When Miley found out her father was scheduled to appear on 'The View' on Wednesday she went nuts," a family friend tells me. "Only last week, Billy shot his mouth off in GQ, and now he planned to sit down with [Barbara and Whoopi] and talk more crap about his family. No way would Miley or her team let that happen."
The
GQ interview started off a firestorm after Billy Ray's bombshell that he feels isolated from his daughter, blaming everyone but himself. "I'm scared for her," he said in the interview. "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."
Billy Ray's comments had come out of nowhere, leaving everyone, including Miley, to wonder why her dad had decided to go public with private family matters.
"At first Miley defended her dad, wanting to believe he had been tricked into saying bad things by the magazine," an insider with knowledge of situation tells me. "Miley truly wanted to give her father the benefit of the doubt, goodness knows she's said things she wishes she could take back. But after she found out about his media trip to New York, no more excuses could be made."
True, you don't accidentally end up as a guest on 'The View.' That is a heavily planned event!
Billy Ray's representative confirmed to me that his trip to NYC had been canceled, at least for now.

All he wants to do is be a good father...he's admitting that he made mistakes and let things happen that he shouldn't. Of course, bring the spoiled little brat teenager that she is....she gets angry instead of appreciating what he's done for her. Typical.

First of all, if he went on the View he wouldn't be able to get a word in with all those loudmouth, abrasive, nerve wracking hosts on that show. However, I think he's probably desperate to get Miley to listen to him. We've seen several parents of teen stars use the media to get their point across. Of course the teens scream "traitor" and claim their parents are just using them for publicity. I have friends in the entertainment industry and you are just a money making entity, the powers that be don't care about you as a person, it's all about the dollar. Billy Ray is experienced in the industry and he knows how cut throat it is. He obviously loves Miley and has sacrificed much to try to be there to keep her safe, but if she's 18 she is considered an adult and Daddy has no more say in her career or choices. Just look at Lindsay Lohan and how her dad (I know he's not a saint, but I think it's her mom that wants celebrity) tried to get her help and even resorted to the media, but she didn't listen. Now look at where she is.

I am so grateful to God that I have a "small" but valuable life and that I am not a celebrity. I find them all so sad. Fame takes hold and suddenly "that" is more important than their own family. They are pathetic. They have everything in the world, many of them, but what's important and that's a good family life. They're either drugged out, familys broken, or they are so unhappy or can't keep a marriage together. They're lives are not God Centered, but materialistic and fame centered. I feel so sorry for them all.

It ridiculous to make people try to look like each other to validate their paternity. DO A DNA CROTCH ROT He's not your father and He knows it NOW--
Hey I got a picture of your ugly adopted mother NAKED I may release it to the press after seeing a bunch of naked chicks She aint so hot honey and neither are you!

Her "Handlers" are causing her father to reach out to her fans & the public for help. The "HANDLERS" are basically the "Contract." The devil is in the details... Literally ... He is correct in wishing Miley never did Hana Montana for Disney. You get Fame, Wealth and all the trappings of stardom but your soul is gone forever. They "owners of the contract" can control your life. Everything from the way you dress, to endorsement deals to your medical records. Bound by a piece of paper, she will never have "her" own life back. Michael Jackson's mother can't even release a book about her own son without going through the people who "owned" Michael. Billy Ray should have known that! Who's got the Achy Breaky Heart Now! Guess he had to fulfill his obligation for his Stardom! Ah, just like the old days when a fater would grant his daughters hand to her future husband.

What a spoiled child she is. Did not like her before and don't like her now. Never allowed my daughter to watch her show and never bought one of her CDs. Has no talent at all. Who is she to tell her dad what he can or can not do.

Just who is the parent here? Kids should be kids and not pushed into the spotlight. If she wants to be a star let her wait until she is older.

@Victoria, what planet have you been living on for the last 5 years? Miley Cyrus is a world renowned superstar, so saying she's too young to be a star and that she should wait till she's older sounds ridiculous. That ship had sailed by the time she was 13. She's an adult now and I doubt she's going to "wait" to be a star, since she's already the most successful teenage star in the world today.
@Rob Shuter, I wonder if you are aware of how utterly stupid the spin you've put on this story makes you sound? First of all, the only real fact in your report is that crazy Billy Ray was scheduled to be on the view and then cancelled. Do you really think that his daughter has some kind of mystical power over him such that she could force him to cancel the view. Whomever you've been talking to who claims to be "a family friend" clearly has taken you for a ride, if he/she is in fact even real. This unnamed source tells you "only last week Billy shot his mouth off in GQ..." yet Billy did that interview on Dec. 15, as the author of the article reveals, not last week. This "close family friend" doesn't seem to know very much. So, it's just plain idiotic to claim that Miley forced her father off "The View." We did see pictures of Tish Cyrus meeting with Billy Ray last week in a pet graveyard. A more likely scenario would be that Tish reasoned with Billy Ray that an appearance on "The View" would already damage is career, which he just about sank in the GQ interview by publicly trashing his own daughter with tabloid lies. It should be obvious to everyone that Billy Ray is suffering some kind of a mental breakdown and GQ took advantage of his mental illness.

The child forced the father not to go on the show? Who's in charged in this family?

I think people should stop hating on Billy Ray!
How old is Miley? She's 18? She should be smart enough
not to be hanging out with the wrong people. Not hating on her,
but she can't stop her dad from doing an interview.
She's taking advantage of him,
I wonder she still remembers that she has a little sister at home
who might end up in her foot steps one day, if one Cyrus child screws up
then pretty sure the youngest might.

Billy Ray has his own money...this is all for more publicity.
cheese and rice...can we please just not care about them for one day??
so stupid.

Billy Ray has always been a nutjob. His career burned and crashed in less than 3 years, so he pimped his daughter and mooched off of her until she'd had enough. His wife left him for good reasons, and now he's trying to get another 15 minutes of fame by ticking everyone including Disney off. I'm surprised Miley's camp didn't slap him - with a gag order.

She's going to end up like Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan.

she hangs out with friends who talk her into things and videos it for profit to hurt her image that gave her all she has some friends and dad would like to help but cant hes not allowed cmon with friends like that u knowwhere ur enemys are they are rite beside you babe

The sad thing is that he was willing to pimp her out in order to regain the spotlight for himself but now that she doesn't need him he resorts to selling interviews all over the place. He was a one-hit-wonder and nothing more. He is way more famous for being Miley's dad than he ever was for being a celebrity.
