To her credit, she DID say that the photos embarrassed her and she wished they would not be published.
But she wasn’t embarrassed when she took off her shirt and posed for the picture. She wasn’t embarrased when shown the images and in fact was quoted as saying that she liked them.
She knew the photos were for vanity fair, a magazine, so it shouldn’t have been a surprise to her that they were for publication and she most likely signed a contract saying such.
She was only embarrassed when the feedback from some of her fans wasn’t positive. She’s burning the candle at both ends, blushing demurely for her young fans and secretly batting her eyes and flashing her nakedness at her future older fans.
This was planned from beginning to end and Miley isn’t embarrased by it. What she should be embarrassed about it treating her fans like they are idiots and don’t know what is going on here. Knowing that she cannot stay 15 forever she has to move on to a more adult following.
I reserve most of my disgust with the photographer, vanity fair and her parents who knew exactly what was going on and approved of it. As a parent myself I can’t imagine it.
