After a few days in which speculation on the Cyrus family ran rampant after Billy Ray turned on Disney in a recent GQ interview, he’s finally speaking out: he knows that he made “explosive” statements, but this wasn’t his intention.
In a statement to celebrity magazine People, Billy Ray apologizes for making those harsh comments on Disney and his daughter Miley, and insists that he didn’t deliberately set out to do so.
“It is very important to me to work on mending my family right now,” the singer says when asked about his plans in the aftermath of the interview.
The comments he made to GQ in the interview that was taken in December were “explosive, but unintentionally so,” Billy Ray adds.
Unfortunately, they have also affected his family and he should have thought of that first before speaking and going on the record with everything.
“My family is the most important thing I have, and we are working together to make sure our future is stronger and healthier,” he says.
Right now, Billy Ray is spending time with his soon to be ex wife Tish and their 11-year-old daughter Noah in Los Angeles.
“It is all a learning process, and we thank everyone for their support and respect of our privacy as we sort through very important family issues,” he says of the divorce and his interview.
As we also noted at the time, in December last year, Billy Ray sat down with GQ for an interview that came out in the latest issue of the magazine.
In it, he said that Disney and “Hannah Montana” had ruined his life and destroyed his family, and then said that his daughter Miley was a “trainwreck” that would probably end like Anna Nicole Smith, Michael Jackson or Kurt Cobain.
Billy Ray said Disney had cut him off from Miley and that she was now surrounded only by people who cared more about her money than about her well-being and that this thought “scared” him.
Shortly after the interview came out and Miley learned about it, she was said to be “furious” with her father for what she considered to be the “ultimate betrayal.”
