Billy Ray Cyrus: 'Hannah Montana' destroyed family
Future Lohan family?
From Newsday.com
Singer-actor Billy Ray Cyrus spills his achy-breaky heart in the new issue of GQ, saying he wishes he'd been a better father to his pop-star daughter, Miley Cyrus, and that her hit show "Hannah Montana" "destroyed my family."
"I'm scared for her," he said of his daughter, 18, a former Disney Channel star who caused consternation when photographed discreetly nude in Vanity Fair at age 15, doing a lascivious pole dance in concert at 16, drinking underage and smoking a bong containing what her representatives called the legal high salvia.
"Every time something happened in Miley's career, every time the train went off the track . . . her handlers [would] put me [in the spotlight]: 'Somebody's shooting at Miley! Put the old man up there!' Well, I took it," Cyrus, 49, said, "because I'm her daddy, and that's what daddies do."
He said he now realizes that the business was "driving a wedge" between him and his daughter. "How many interviews did I give and say, 'You know what's important between me and Miley is I try to be a friend to my kids?' . . . And sometimes I would even read [that] other parents might say, 'You don't need to be a friend, you need to be a parent.' Well, I'm the first guy to say to them right now: You were right. I should have been a better parent."
He also noted that although he played Hannah's father and business manager on "Hannah Montana," he was not Miley's manager. "I'm proud to say to this day I've never made one commissioned dollar, or dime, off of my daughter," he said, adding he was paid only a relatively paltry $12,000 to $15,000 per episode during his four years on the series.
And despite that show's star-making success, "I'd take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just be everybody OK, safe and sound and happy and normal, would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah. I'd erase it all in a second if I could."

You know what "drives a wedge" between you and your daughter? Continuing to give interviews about her to the media. SHUT UP!

I think it may have more to do with his divorce than his daughter.

Re: Billy Ray Cyrus: 'Hannah Montana' destroyed family
Billy Ray and Miley are crying all the way to the bank while driving their Bentley Continentals.... 
If fame and fortune are driving a wedge in your family, then why keep it up? They could've said no to the Disney money. Nobody forced Miley to be Hannah Montana. I'm sure at some point when Miley was still underage, Billy Ray had to be giving approval.

That was very poetic. 
I think he is just trying to make himself look like the "good parent" for career & personal reasons. He nees to find some post HM work if he isn't Miley's manager, and thre is probably a custody fight (or at least discussion) for the 2 younger kids.

ITA, sounds like he made some parenting errors but speaking out about it now is not the time nor will it help the situaiton at all...

Re: Billy Ray Cyrus: 'Hannah Montana' destroyed family
Hes a moron, he knew what fame does to people, and even while he was starting off with Hannah Montana he HAD to have seen Britney flip her screws, then Lindsay Lohan shortly thereafter. Did he not think that was gonna happen to his daughter or his family? Anyone getting into the hollywood industry has to know once they get in, they wont be the same coming out. Richer yes, but the same down to earth person they were...no.
Altho I dont think what Miley is doing so far is bad...but there may be other things the media doesnt know about the fam that is causing him to whine like a baby lol

Re: Billy Ray Cyrus: 'Hannah Montana' destroyed family
I wonder if he knows more about some self-destructive behavior than even the tabloids & gossip columns know about concerning his daughter.
Either way, it seems odd for him to do this kind of interview, doubt it would help the relationship between him and the family.

I think it has to do with a custody issue. Not of Miley but the younger ones.
