“I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted," she said in a statement. "Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together, and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it.
"The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful.”
The 15-year-old issued a statement saying she was "embarrassed" over the photos and apologized to her fans.
The Disney Channel claims the magazine "manipulated" her, but a Vanity Fair rep says, "Miley's parents and/or minders were on the set all day. Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley."
Michele Combs, a spokesperson for the Christian Coalition of America, tells Us that Disney should reprimand the Hannah Montana singer for the photo.
Combs adds that Leibovitz has "a reputation for doing racy things ... Miley should have thought this out before she agreed to go in front of Annie."
