Billy Ray Cyrus, father of Miley Cyrus

"I should have been a better parent. I should have said, 'Enough is enough. It's getting dangerous and somebody's going to get hurt.' I should have, but I didn't. Honestly, I didn't know the ball was out of bounds until it was way up in the stands somewhere." –Billy Ray Cyrus to GQ

When Miley Cyrus appeared half-nekked in the pages of Vanity Fair and was later seen gyrating on a stripper pole during the 2009 Teen Choice Awards, the masses turned on the teen star, dubbing her slutty antics "inappropriate" for her tweenage fanbase. Few thought to question those really responsible for a child's behavior — the parents. Miley's crap dad, Billy Ray, defended the then 16-year-old's stripper pole incident, chalking it up to sheer entertainment. He later blamed Miley's demise and their strained relationship on Disney show Hannah Montana. Riiight. Being a parent isn't easy (just ask my father), but it's not rocket science either. You don't see Bieber wearing crotchless panties. Yet. –Tina Smithers
