Billy Ray Cyrus is responding to the explosive comments Oscar winner Jamie Foxx made about his daughter, Disney star Miley Cyrus, over the weekend.

“It was hurtful, there wasn’t nothing funny about it,” Billy Ray confessed during an appearance on The Bonnie Hunt Show, which taped Wednesday and airs Thursday.

“And quite frankly, I think if I said those things about his daughter he might not find it so comedic.”

Over the weekend, Jamie said Miley should “make a sex tape and grow up,” during his Sirius satellite radio show, The Foxxhole.

“Who is Miley Cyrus? The one with all the gums? She need to get a gum transplant!” Jamie could be heard saying.

The Ray star also suggested the 16-year-old “go do some heroin.”

On Tuesday, Foxx apologized to Miley during his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

I think daddy Cyrus is being too nice – if i were him i’d tell Foxx off in no uncertain terms. The man should be ashamed of verbally attacking a little girl like that, it’s tasteless and cowardly.

Seriously… First of all, Miley Cyrus is in a business that requires a thick skin. Sixteen or not, she’d better get used to it or find another career.

Second of all, where does this spoiled little brat get off threatening another group’s CAREER just because they didn’t want to meet Her Exalted Highness? Or did you all miss the part where she threatened to ruin Radiohead’s career?

If she’s going to open that mouth of hers and have a little tantrum because she doesn’t get her way, then she better be ready to take a few shots, and cheap ones at that.

While I think Foxx’s comments were in poor taste, there are too many people who seem to think that Miley Cyrus is some little perfect little angel/role model who does no wrong. It’s called Karma and it comes on swift wings… especially when you choose to live in such a public arena.

And as for the ’she’s just a little girl being verbally attacked’ bit, give me a break. Obviously this little girl thinks she’s big and bad enough to ruin the career(s) of a group that’s A) been around since long before she was born B) has made Rolling Stone’s list of the Greatest Artists of All Time, C) has been nominated for 14 grammys and 10 MTV Music Video Awards, and D) actually writes all of their own material instead of relying on daddy and a bunch of highly paid songwriters to do it for them… unlike Ms. Cyrus.

Again, if she’s going to flap those giant gums, she better brace herself for a serious case of whiplash from verbal assault. That’s what happens in this business and this WORLD.
