Miley Cyrus should be held accountable for taking the semi-topless Vanity Fair photos, Michele Combs, a spokesperson for Christian Coalition of America, tells Usmagazine.com.
“Disney should reprimand her,” Combs says.
Combs is calling for a televised press conference, where “Miley should say it was a mistake and that kids have to be very careful at such a young age.” (Cyrus issued a statement, apologizing; the Disney Channel claims the magazine “manipulated” her, which Vanity Fair denies.)
“Kids look up to her,” Combs adds. “Something needs to be done.”
Miley, 15, also admitted in the interview that Sex and the City is her favorite TV show.
“If she’s gonna go out there and represent wholesome values, she needs to be more accountable for her actions,” Combs says.
Combs adds that famed photographer Annie Leibovitz has “a reputation for doing racy things … Miley should have thought this out before she agreed to go in front of Annie.”
She said the photos ‘ as well as other ones of a lingerie-clad Cyrus that recently hit the Internet ‘ are “very disappointing … sad.
The photos are “gonna hurt a lot of people,” Combs says. “It’s gonna hurt her image.
“She was the one person out there who everyone seemed to trust,” Combs adds. “She should have been more thoughtful.”
Dr. Bill Maier, child and family psychologist of the Colorado-based organization Focus on the Family, also calls the photos “a big mistake.
“Her career has been based on her squeaky clean image,” he tells Us. “If she made the choice, it wasn’t the best decision.”
He advises parents to address the situation with their kids.
“It would behoove parents to sit down with daughters,” he says. “This provides a great opportunity to talk about some of these issues and the decisions we make: What are our values’ What do we expect from our kids’ Are these photos something that’s acceptable in our family’”
