Do you find it a little unsettling that Miley Cyrus' father "loved her show" the other day?

No. Why would a father buy into a fake controversy?

I don’t see anywhere that it says he “loved the show” (although maybe he did, I don’t know).
What he said there was basically that he would be there for her and support her no matter what.

Her singing was awful and her performance was terrible (even without the twerking), but of course daddy is going to publicly support his darling daughter.

Actually, it was on the cover page The 6th blurb down.

I didn’t see it. I just heard about it.

Not as unsettling as the show.

He’s a country singer, thick as pig shite & her Dad, his reaction was inevitable.

@ucme‘s right, he’s still her dad.. I’ve done things I’m sure my mother wasn’t proud of a few times, but she always loved and supported me.

Yes, but then I find everything about the Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus unsettling.

Sure he’s still her dad and he still loves her. But if I was a father it would bother me to see her out there being so blatantly sexual in front of the whole wide world. I’d feel the same way if my “little girl” posed for Playboy. I wouldn’t be saying, “Wow! Great pictures, honey! I’m so proud of you!”

Perhaps he’s smiley for Miley to hide his achy, breaky heart.

Pewwww!!

Not at all. What’s the advantage to saying he didn’t like it? He would alienate his daughter and make himself look like a jerk.

Besides, parenthood aside, his daughter is damned near to an adult and independently wealthy on her own. So it’s not like he has any sort of hold over her monetarily.

He may not love it, but he’s not going to stab his daughter in the back.

IMHO he was saying the correct thing by not insulting her publicly. What goes on in their personal life, behind their closed doors may be a different story.

I feel like they knew it was going to be shocking and controversial before it happened, and that includes her father. Just like Janet’s boob and just like Britney and Madonna. I think most of the hot topic shocking Hollywood controversies are publicity stunts. Is it just me? Am I the only one that thinks this was planned to blow up like it did? I’m so sick of hearing about it, I have to admit, but I really am surprised that so many people blame Miley when it seems like a really cliche stunt to come out of the entertainment business. Why are we even shocked?

@DigitalBlue Nothing happens on television without rehearsal, most live shows are rehearsed as well and all media has a ‘delay’ button, to prevent breaking FCC rules (with cussing, etc…) because they don’t want to pay the huge fines that would be levied against them. Trust me on this, it was planned.

I didn’t say he should insult her or anything in public
And this has nothing to do with the “shock” @DigitalBlue. It’s strictly about a father and a daughter.

Did you know that if you rearrange the letters in “Miley Cyrus” it spells “who gives a fuck”?

Nope. As we all know, Miley is to be the next sacrifice for Harvest. Her father is obviously part of the conspiracy.

I don’t care what he thinks.

I think his daughter just might be a “ho

He can take issue with me if he chooses. I have a better chance of being correct.

@josie – i’m sure he doesn’t give a hoot what you think either :-)

Miley Cyrus is an adult. You or I may not approve of what she does, which is fine.

But the fact is, she’s old enough to make her own choices.

Yes, @elbanditoroso. That is true. But that has nothing to do with the question.

@Dutchess_III: I am not clear about your response to me or to @elbanditoroso. You indicated in your question that some might find the father’s response unsettling, and when I said I wouldn’t expect the dad to insult her, you responded that was not what you referring to. You also responded in a similar way to @elbanditoros.

Did I miss something? Could you clarify your question?

My response to @elbanditoroso came about because the question had nothing to do with whether she was right or wrong, or whether I approve or disapprove of what she did. I personally could care less.

As to my actual question, first I made the mistake of take a blurb on the cover page of the article that stated that her father “loved” her show. I don’t know that that is true. In fact, in the actual article he came far short of saying that he “loved it.” But for the sake of this discussion, let’s say he DID “love it.”

So the question is, wouldn’t you find it a little uncomfortable if a girl’s father “loved” his daughter’s blatantly overt, in your face, lewd display that screams “fuck me!” to the whole world? Would you be uncomfortable if a father went to a strip joint where his very talanted daughter was pantomiming having sex with a pole, naked, and he stomped and cheered with the rest of the men in the bar because he ‘loved it”?

@Dutchess_III: Ok, so then to my response, you said you didn’t say he should insult her in public.

I didn’t mean to suggest that he should publicly criticize her, but I certainly would think it would be disconcerting for him to say he just “loved it.” In this case, his actual comments were just right. He neither praised nor condemned her, just said he stood by her, as his daughter. Perfect.

I guess the question at this point is more hypothetical than anything. Would it be disconcerting if he HAD said he loved it?

@Dutchess_III: If he really loved it, it might be disconcerting but I don’t take anything that’s quoted in the media by a celeb to be true. It’s spun by publicists and taken out of context. Also, what I would expect to hear from the dad is something diplomcatic, nothing more and nothing less.
