VANITY FAIR'S MICHAEL ROBERTS TELLS ALL ABOUT MILEY CYRUS PHOTO SCANDAL

Vanity Fair’s fashion and style director Michael Roberts, who styled the Miley Cyrus shoot, was completely confused by the outrage over the Miley Cyrus photos.

Here are some excerpts from his interview with WWD:

• “I’m European.  I come from London, I lived in Paris, and I just find it extraordinary that this has been blown up like this.”
• “The whole kiddie porn prurient angle seems to be worryingly sour grapes from other magazine that didn’t get a picture like this….I’m deemed as being party to some kind of subversive picture of this girl, that she was cajoled.  That we literally manhandled her into stripping is completely not true.”
• “This is a girl caught up in a gigantic enterprise where many people’s fortunes are riding on her future.  If it was fine then, I don’t see why suddenly it’s not fine.”
