Daddy Ray Cyrus Not Happy About Foxx's Rant

Posted by Josh loposer

 

If somebody went on the radio and called your 16-year-old daughter a "little white bitch" and instructed her to both: "make a sex tape and grow up" and "catch chlamydia on a bicycle seat," you'd obviously be justified in holding a grudge.

Even though Jamie Foxx apologized to Miley Cyrus, to whom the crude comments were directed, a source has revealed that daddy Billy Ray Cyrus is still not too happy with Jamie. 

“He thinks Jamie was out of line and didn’t find any humor in it,” the source told me this afternoon. “He doesn’t understand why he would do that to Miley, especially since he has teenage daughter himself... Billy Ray isn’t going to say anything publicly because he doesn’t want to this to escalate,” the source said. “He wishes it would just go away.”

Jamie made his apology last night on the Jay Leno Show and his PR people are reminding everyone that his Sirius broadcast is a "comedy show." Still, in today's crazy media world, things like telling a 16-year-old to make a sex tape and get chlamydia sometimes get taken out of context. Unbelievable, right?

Bravo to Billy Ray for taking the high road and not making any public statements. It ought to help this thing blow over a little quicker, rather than degenerate into an even more ridiculous -- which seems to be what everybody wants.

Interestingly, few seem to be calling for Foxx to get fired like they did with Don Imus.

He shouldn't be fired, he can say whatever he wants. But people should feel free to not listen to his show or "boycott" him in whatever way they feel is necessary.

Right on Pamela!

There's such a choice that everyone in this country has the right to, and few seem to understand it.

As far as Billy Ray being steaming mad, and not making any public statements, how about screw public statements! He doesn't need to make any public statements. That's not going to get anything resolved! He should get him on the phone, or arrange a meeting and call him out on it. Obviously, if Jamie is releasing a public apology, he's either a. worried about his career, or b. just trying to end it.

Why are people such wusses about stuff? damn.
