Billy Ray Cyrus talked to GQ magazine for their March issue and discussed all of the controversy surrounding his daughter Miley. He says that he regrets ever letting her do Hannah Montana and he wishes he could take it all back.

He said, “I hate to say it, but yes, I do. I’d take it back in a second.”

He went on to reveal that he wished he had been more strict in bringing her up and that her handlers are taking things too far in their promotion of her.

He said, “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….Okay, 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.”

When asked about Miley’s 18th birthday party which was held at a Los Angeles bar, he said, “You know why I didn’t go? Because they were having it in a bar. It was wrong. It was for 21 years old and up….all them people, they all wanted me to fly out so that then when all the bad press came they could say, ‘Daddy endorsed this stuff.’ I started realizing I’m being used.”

About her Salvia bong smoking incident, he commented, “They told me it was none of my business.”

Still, he added, “I should have said, ‘Enough is enough – it’s getting dangerous and somebody’s going to get hurt’…Honestly, I didn’t know the ball was out of bounds until it was way up in the stands somewhere.”
