Country crooner Billy Ray Cyrus blames Disney’s “Hannah Montana” for his daughter Miley Cyrus’ issues, angrily saying “the damn show destroyed my family.”

Blaming publicists and Miley’s handlers, Billy Ray gives an anguished interview in GQ’s March issue, where he adds he wishes “Hannah Montana” never happened.

“I hate to say it, but yes, I do. I’d take it back in a second,” said Billy Ray, who is divorcing Miley’s mother, Tish.

Reflecting on Miley’s controversial moments — including seductive photos on the Internet, pole-dancing at the Teen Choice Awards, and posing for Vanity Fair draped in a sheet — Cyrus says he should have been more strict, and accuses her handlers for going too far to promote her, and then using him as the fall guy.
He tells GQ, “Every time the train went off the track . . . her people, or as they say in today’s news, her handlers, every time they’d put [the blame on] me . . . I took it because I’m her daddy . . . OK, nail me to the cross.

“I’m scared for her. She’s got a lot of people around her that’s putting her in a great deal of danger. I want to get her sheltered from the storm.”
