Miley Cyrus To Haters: “My Job Isn’t To Be A Parent”

by Anthony Miccio

Miley Cyrus, seen getting coffee with Last Song co-star/rumored boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, isn’t going to take your negative crap, America. Inappropriate activity for an underage girl is in the eye of the beholder. “People like controversy because that’s what sells,” she tells Harper’s Bazaar in a new interview. “My job is to be a role model, and that’s what I want to do, but my job isn’t to be a parent. My job isn’t to tell your kids how to act or how not to act, because I’m still figuring that out for myself.” Besides, you’re the ones thinking dirty thoughts about her.

For instance, take those risque Annie Liebowitz pics from a while back. “Here, my parents are thinking they’re seeing a beautiful photograph by a major photographer, and the people of America want to see something dirty in that? It doesn’t make sense to us because [my family] doesn’t look for negativity.” So that’s why Billy Ray gave her a standing ovation when she worked the pole at the Teen Choice Awards. “No one wants to look at something like that and see the positive because it doesn’t sell a magazine.”

Hey, plenty of guys have seen the positive in your budding sexuality, Miley. Don’t assume all of America has a beef with your self-discovery. [via PopEater]
