According to Billy Ray Cyrus, he and his family consider famed photographer Annie Leibovitz a paparazzo. Leibovitz took the photos for the now-infamous Vanity Fair shoot where 15-year-old Miley Cyrus appeared semi-nude.
Cyrus told Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show that he was fishing in rural Tennessee with his eight-year-old daughter, Noah, recently. "I was catching these crawdads and all the sudden this paprazzi lady jumps out ... and starts snapping away," he said.
Noah turned to ask him, "Is that Annie Leibovitz?"
Miley Cyrus and her family were reportedly pleased with the photo shoot at the time and prior to the issue's publication. They have since backtracked on their praise and expressed displeasure with the pictures and how they portray the Disney star.
