Madonna On The Miley Controversy: ‘Leave Her Alone’

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Madonna has some words of advice for the public over the Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair controversy: “Leave her alone.”
Last Sunday, Annie Leibovitz’s photos of Disney’s “Hannah Montana” star, taken for the latest issue of Vanity Fair, appeared online, showing the 15-year-old, seemingly partially nude, and covered only by a sheet.
Earlier this week, Madonna, who has been a part of plenty of controversies of her own (the video for “Like A Prayer,” her turbulent marriage to Sean Penn, and her “Sex” book to name a few), told MTV News she thinks Disney’s teen-queen needs a little peace.
“I just want to go on record and say everyone should just leave her alone. I never represented anything wholesome in America … I only had one way to go,” Madonna said. “People are just bored. Leave the poor girl alone! She’s going to grow up soon, she’s going to probably show her knees next — watch out!”
As a mother herself — to three children — Madonna has no problems with the Vanity Fair shoot.
”[Lourdes] is a fan, and I don’t think she really cares [about the photo,]” Madonna said. “It’s not a big deal. What is a big deal? Let’s talk about something that’s a big deal.”
