In a new interview on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Miley Cyrus further explained the story behind a recent tweet aimed at the New York Post and others who "shamed" her over a photoshoot 10 years ago.
Back in 2008, when Cyrus was 15 years old, she posed for renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz during a Vanity Fair shoot. One photo — showing Cyrus' bare back as she held a blanket up to her chest — caused a stir among her Disney fan base and others.
She issued an apologetic statement at the time, but now Cyrus is taking it all back.
"I think I did [apologize], but I'm sure someone told me to," Cyrus told Kimmel. "But you know what, that's why I don't do what people tell me to anymore, because that idea sucked."
You can see the photo above and on the Vanity Fair website, Cyrus described being on the photoshoot set that day. She said her little sister was there, and sitting with Leibovitz while snapping photos.
"There was nothing sexualized about this on set," Cyrus said. "It was everyone else's poisonous thoughts and minds that ended up turning this into something that it wasn't meant to be. So actually I shouldn't be ashamed — they should be."
