“Miley Cyrus Playfully Retracts N-de Apology Offered a Decade Ago”

Remember ten years ago when Miley Cyrus appeared semi-naked and covered with a sheet in Vanity Fair? And the New York Post published an extremely dramatic response with the phrase “MILEY’S SHAME” written across their cover in all-caps?

Well first of all, LOL, because little did everyone know Miley would soon come in like a wrecking ball and twerk all over Robin Thicke. And second of all, she’s retracting her apology….ten years later.

Miley spoke out about her change of heart during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “”I think a lot of things have changed,” she explained.

“I think the conversation has changed a lot… something I really thought about was sure, some people thought I did something wrong in their eyes, but I think it was really wrong for someone to put that this is my shame and that I should be ashamed of myself.”

“It was everyone else’s poisonous thoughts and minds that ended up turning this into something it wasn’t meant to be,” she continued. “So I shouldn’t be ashamed, they should be.”

“I took part in a photo shoot tht was supposed to be ‘artistic,’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed,” Miley said at the time.

“I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.”

Please note that Miley was 15 when this picture was taken, and according to a spokeswoman for photographer Annie Leibovitz (who snapped the pic for Vanity Fair), “parents and/or minders were on the set all day.” So what’s the big deal, right?
