I’d have more sympathy if he had not rented her out for a nekkid photo shoot when she was 15.

Disney knew Mylie was going out of control. When the last Hannah Montana ended, they yanked it from airing and have never showed it again.

In fact I acknowledged that in my post. Nevertheless, a parent’s subsequent guilt and regret is not something I’m inclined to pooh-pooh. I feel for the guy and his family.

Everyone sees the train comin’
except the drunk walkin’ down the tracks.

Looking/acting like a whore in front of millions....what could go wrong?

[Carriage Hill]

“Aw man, I gotta get me some of dat...”

[liberalh8ter]

That's my favorite, as well. It tells you how horribly distasteful Cyrus’ performance was when the teenage Smith wears a, ‘Dear Lord, Why?’, look on his face.

Before you go punching Billy Ray in the chops

Actually I just posted the article - I can't believe the posting action to this story so far ... My kids have turned out fairly successful. I wonder how much is due to me, and how much is due to the Lord and the church they grew up in ...

We deal with Nickelodeon here on Sunset every day. You should witness the parents of these child actors who act like children themselves. I won’t tell you which specific show but Teen Nick’s lineup, the managers of these kids are certified a-holes. I heard worse stories on the set about Hannah M from the set guys.

Didn't see that silly programme, wouldn't watch it. If the twit pulled off some jackassery, I shouldn't be at all surprised, BUT...

This article is garbage. The 'psychedelic herb salvia' is a misnomer, or, more likely, showing the author's ignorance (and/or helping sensationalise the story).

'Salvia' is nothing more or less than good old salvia officianalis, i.e. common sage, such as you use in stuffing a T-Day turkey.

Almost surely, the herb that the twit used was salvia divinorum, which has psychoactive properties for SOME individuals. To omit the descriptor of 'salvia' is either sheer ignorance or outright journalistic (and I use that term very loosely) malfeasance.

They’ll be in more demand when she dies tragically...magically Disney will just happen to have the Best of Hannah Montana and anything else Miley Cyrus already slickly produced and ready for sale.

They’ve been chewing up and spitting out kids for decades now and the parents of these kids never learn...

but parents can do everything “right” and still have their children go off the deep end as young adults.

Billy Rae (sic) didn't do anything right.

[VaRepublican]

you are full of crap.

[Tax-chick]

Billy Rae (sic) didn't do anything right.

That's a possibility, but it doesn't vitiate my real point. Sometimes people illustrate the home truths, like, "If you raise your children to think there are no standards, they'll act like people with no standards." However, I still feel bad for them. Not really strongly, but some.

Sometimes a picture IS worth a thousand words.

Billy Ray Cyrus: 'Hannah Montana' Show ' Piss Poor Parenting Destroyed My Family'

Fixed it.

[MNDude]

Karoke singing “Achy Breaky Heart” totally ruined my cool image!

[US Navy Vet]

I wish you could tell some tales!

[Resolute Conservative]

Bull, he liked the money and promoter her feverishly.

[darkangel82]

I just read this Blaze thread on the performance and I can't say I'm surprised, really.
