Right away, Miley Cyrus explained how the controversy behind the photo was that the cover depicted her as the opposite of hannah montanacharacter of disney who played at the time.
“That image of me is the complete opposite of the bubblegum pop star that I was known to be, and that’s what was so disturbing. But really brilliant choices, looking back, made by these people,” she said.
