Miley Cyrus’s father Billy Ray believes that his daughter’s recent photo scandals won’t have a lasting negative effect on her, because she is such a positive person.
The Hannah Montana starlet made headlines last month after a controversial Vanity Fair spread was published, hot on the heels of candid internet snaps showing the 15-year old flashing her underwear.
But country singer Billy insists his bundle of joy is not beat up about all the criticism she has received.
He explains: "The thing you got to look at in life, whether you're an entertainer or whether you're a farmer... whatever you do in life, there's going to be peaks and valleys.
"I think one of the things my dad taught me and hopefully I instilled in Miley, is that when you get knocked down, you got to get back up because it's not going to do any good to lie on the ground and cry about it.
"I think she has a lot to be proud of. I think the positive far outweighs the negative."
