"I didn't know they were going to strip her down and wrap her in a blanket," father Billy Ray Cyrus told Meredith Vieira on 'Today' where he appeared to promote his 'Nashville Star' reality series."I was surprised when I saw it ... but, hey, that's life. Stuff happens."
Cyrus said he realized nothing could be done about the shoot. "My dad always told me the more you stomp in poop, the more it stinks. so I was just, 'OK, this happened. We got to deal with it.'"
Cyrus also defended the photo in which he poses with daughter lying across his lap clad jeans and a top that bares her midriff.
"I'm sorry, if I offended somebody. That's just a daddy who loves his daughter a whole lot," Cyrus told Vieira.
"Miley and I just got caught up in this adventure of this dream and what we do for a living, and, again, we both love acting, we love making music, and we love each other. I'm her Dad, she’s my daughter. If a daddy hasn't hugged his daughter recently, I recommend he does."
Cyrus also feels his daughter must stay strong through the controversies that come with being in the spotlight. "For every action there’s an opposite and equal reaction," he said about Miley working in show biz. "For every high, there’s a low. It's just the way life is. She has a dream. She loves what she does for a living, she just loves it."
