Miley Apologizes For Making A "Goofy Face"
Posted on Thu Feb 5, 2009 07:05 AM PDT
Miley Cyrus has apologized for that somewhat controversial picture (no, not THAT one...THIS one), in which she appears to be mocking members of the Asian community.
The picture has been all over the internet, and Miley just posted a blog on her official fansite explaining the whole thing and even apologizing for those who may be offended.
Oh yeah, and of course, there is a Britney Spears reference in there too!
She writes:
- Ive also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! Well, Im sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context!
In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy
face. When did that become newsworthy? It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing to me. If that would of been anyone else, it would of been overlooked! I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new 'BAD GIRL'!"
I feel like now that Britney is back on top of her game again, they need someone to pick on! Lucky me! haha Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know what is on my heart. You guys know me and have been by my side every step of the way!
You guys know my heart and know the most important things to me are my friends, family, fans, and GOD! In NO WAY do I want to disappoint any of you! But, when I have made mistakes in the past, I feel like Ive owned up to them and apologized.
Anyway, I really wish everyone would stop focusing on my personal life and get back to focusing on what I love! Music and Acting! Hopefully, I will be touring again this fall! Yayy! =] It will be a nice change to be back out on the road
again!
xoxo Blessings.. Miley =)
Is this sufficient? Or does she need to do/say more? Or did she even need to apologize in the first place?
What do you think?

Sorry slopes, I'm just a kid!
The pastry chef at gitmo will lose his job when the gentlemen prisoners leave.
Yes leave the CHILD alone.
it was just a silly picture. she's not stumbling out of a bar drunk or smoking bong out of a tube. i think she's okay with what she said. she doesn't need to apologize.
that was not a goofy-face. and i like the way everyone seems to be doing the samething with their eyes- is it possible someone in that group mentioned something in reference to making an asian face or did they say let's make goofy faces and coincidently everyone just pulled the ends of their eyes????????? someone thinks her fans are stupid and i think some of you actually are for believing her explanation.
She doesn't do anything wrong, plus, she's still a child !
Really stupid.
wow...this tart just doesnt get it.
and how do her personal picture keep getting out to the press???
7:25...exactly what I was going to say. They just all happend to make the SAME face with their eyes.....riiiiight!
WHAT ABOUT THE GLASS OF WINE??? How can anyone miss that? Yea, it is not good that she did that but why, oh, why, is she in a room with people old enough to drink? I am more worried about the alcohol than the eyes.
shes not a child shes a whore trying to make out shes being picked on, shes been in the lime light long enough to know ho to behave, it people took offense then she should say sorry
dude WHOOOOOOOOOO cares??? shes 16 shit... i did some crazy ass shit at 16 too in no way is it evident ini these pictures that shes mocking asians??? they all look drunk as fuuuck
goofy pictures? MILEY YOU DUMM F*CKING HICK...THEY WERE RACIALLY INSENSITIVE...DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS??? GET BACK INTO SCHOOL INSTEAD OF RUNNING AROUND TOWN TRYING TO GET YOUR PIC TAKEN. LOSER.
MAYBE IF YOU WEREN'T SUCH A STUPID DRUNK YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CAUGHT DOING THAT...AGAIN, GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
She didn't need to apologize anyway all
you guys who say so are complete idiots!!
Some people just joking around and you get bent out of shape!!
I like Miley, but in her blog "If that would of been anyone else, it would of been overlooked!" It should read: If that would HAVE been anyone else, it would HAVE been overlooked! Just sayin :)
Miley's quote: "If that would of been anyone else, it would of been overlooked!"
Firstly, Miley needs to go back to school because she obviously flunked ENGLISH. She says "would of" twice in one sentence. It should be "would have."
Duhhhhh, dumb Miley!!
haha I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that!! lol
u r abunch of idiots!!!!!!!!i really wonder if any of u NEVER EVER MADE FUN OF SOMEBODY OR ANY ETHNICITY!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOK AT UR MISTAKES IN THE PAST WHEN U WERE HER AGE AND TELL ME U NEVER DID IT!!!!!!!!! CAUSE I HAVE! A-HOLES!!!!!!!!!
rude lil Bitc*!!
If she would have been in "black face" would it have been just a "goofy face?" I dont think so. Racism is racism and she got caught.
i meant "goofy face" as in it's just a joke. they're ALL doing it so obviously someone said something. there's even an asian in the picture!
and for the people saying "Dumb f-ing hick"..hypocritical much? if you think what she's doing is insensitive, think about what you just said. that's degrading to southerners, the same way you THINK what she's doing is rude to asians. (which she's not. it's just a goofy picture)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I wouldn't say no! Actually there're lots of sexy old men and cougars on __AgelessMate.c om__; and they are actually dating beautiful young people there! now I start believing no age gap is too wide in fron of true love!
this is for 7:27- if they are just children, why is one "child" having a nice drink of wine while playing with friend???????????? you are a real tool.
when some of you idiot fans respond by saying that she is being a kid, and you were just as bad or worse- unless you were a disney star too, that excuse is a bunch of bullshit. if you are in the public eye, and if the majority of your fans are young, it becomes your responsiblity to avoid bad behaviour, especially racism. she targets young impressional people, that's all this world needs- a future full of"goofy/racist" people. she made a huge mistake,and she should be held accountable. if i was asian i would start a petition to get her kicked out of disney.
some people need to grow a damn backbone. yes, that's enough. jfc my fellow asians irritate the hell out of me so much, learn to laugh at yourself. i make fun of my best friend for being whiter than wonderbread, i guess i'm a racist too. someone bust out the guillotine.
GOOFY FACE???!!! ISNT HER FACE LIKE THAT ALREADY??>> LMAO!!!! that bitch better stop drinking too much or else she's gonna get caught like michael phelps somoking pot!!
I see the horse put her hoof in her mouth again! Were they high or drunk? Her parents are too concerned about the money and allow this girl to do as she pleases as long as the cash is flowing. I would assume, she's got a few young fans and this is not what our children should be exposed to! This little tramp loves being photographed & her parents need to be slapped!!!! Get control of your daughter, she's getting a reputation and not in a good way. Damn, near neck & neck with Ms. Hilton
She did not beed to apologize. Tell me ONE teen who doesnt make silly faces in pictures.
She needs to go to school. "would of"?
People who keep defending her need to realize that a 16 year-old today is not the same as a 16 year-old when YOU grew up. With the internet, it's not the same ballgame.
And for the people who write this off as "making silly faces"--does that mean ASIANS have funny faces?
I can see that she made immature gestures but I don't see a mature response in her statement to counter act that.
She should have learned from the nude photo incident that her pictures are going to get around. It's all part of the job description, take it or leave it.
Dumb BITCH!!!!
re Miley's letter:
Bitch I DON'T KNOW YOU and DON'T WANT to know you. And I have definitely NOT been with your fugly butt every step of the way. Dumb broad.
I love that once these morons reach some modicum of stardom they think they can re-write the rules.
anyone notice the asian in the picture
hahahaha....yes, let's get back to the two things she LOOOVES most, MUSIC and ACTING. too bad she sucks at both. perhaps making these "goofy" faces should be her full time gig.
Who cares if the Asian guy's in the pic. Maybe he didn't feel like he could fight ALL of them while they were making fun of him.
ohh come on !! is stupid , there is a lot of interesting thing going on on the world, so stop inventing things, and those who get sensitive on this kind of things ..go to therapy
FACT #1: it's OBVIOUS she's poking fun at the eyes of asians. there's no point in denying that... the proof is in the photo. irrefutable. but does this mean she's racist or simply insensitive due to age and upbringing? FACT #2: her so called "apology" suggests she's probably racist because she doesn't own up to the OBVIOUS but instead deflects the issue and hides behind the "goofy faces" and the "bad girl" excuses. so if you believe her so called "apology" to be disingenuous and find offense to it then show your disapproval by boycotting her products (tv, cds, dvds, movies, whatever miley cyrus). help her realize her mistakes by taking away what she loves most, her money.

Oh geez all of you who are saying "she's just a kid" need to really stop and think..YES we all make fun of other races but we also make sure that they are not heard of or seen by anyone that can be offended by it and plus we were not all in the public eye and we also didn't have milllions of kids idolizing us.
she should know better...I mean c'mon with all her photo controversies
AND using GOOFY FACES as an excuse...PLEASE sticking your tongue out or making a real funny and over the top hilarious face WITHOUT making your eyes slanted is what we call a GOOFY FACE. also her saying that she was only making goofy faces implies that ASIANS and PACIFIC ISLANDERS have funny faces...so yes she needs give a real apology.
You ass holes LEAVE her alone shes 16 all teenagers do crazy stuff and she doesn't need to apologies for it and she wasn't being raciest so LEAVE her alone you ASS HOLES
She is a child. Children do silly and goofy things. She probably talks to her little girlfriends on the phone and giggles and laughs and make fun of girls wearing dumb clothes and clown shoes or something. Make comments about the new cute boy in town and hoping that he will ask her out and go to the movies with her and her friends. I can relate.
She is right! Stop following her everywhere,she is the same person as we all are.I believe she is a nice girl!!! I am on her side.
