When Jamie Foxx said that he wanted Miley Cyrus to catch Chlamydia from a bike, he messed with the wrong dude.
Or the right dude. He messed with Billy Ray Cyrus. And now Billy Ray Cyrus wants blood. “It was hurtful,” he said, before adding “If anyone is going to turn Miley Cyrus into a disease-ridden drug addict it’ll be me and my relentless desire to piggyback vicariously on her wealth and fame regardless of the cost. Not Jamie Foxx. ME!”
Just to clear that up, Billy Ray Cyrus didn’t actually say that last bit. He probably thought it, though.
In many ways, Billy Ray Cyrus is just a normal dad who wants the best for his kids. True, when we say ‘normal’ we mean ‘in the clutches of such a startling mid-life crisis that he appears to have strapped a vagina onto his chin’ and when we say ‘wants the best for his kids’ we mean ‘wants to push his kids into the brutal world of showbusiness so that he can live in a quite big house’, but you get the jist.
So when a man – no, worse than a man, an actor from the movie Stealth – uses his radio show to spew out a torrent of inappropriate hatred about his teenage daughter, then Billy Ray Cyrus has no choice but to stop thinking rationally.
And that’s what happened after Jamie Foxx started to rant about Miley Cyrus on his radio show this weekend, suggesting that Miley Cyrus should take heroin and crack and become a lesbian and make a sex tape. Although Jamie Foxx made a grovelling apology to Miley Cyrus on TV a few days ago, it was too late. Billy Ray Cyrus’ blood surged. He saw nothing but red. Generations of boiling testosterone welled up inside him until he was forced to take the most furious course of action available to him.
That’s right – Billy Ray Cyrus went on a daytime television programme to describe how badly Jamie Foxx had hurt his feelings. Yesterday Billy Ray Cyrus told Bonnie Hunt:
“It was hurtful. There wasn’t nothing funny about it. And, quite frankly, I think if I said those things about his daughter, he might not find it so comedic.”
Oh Billy Ray Cyrus, don’t stop there. We know you’re dying to do it – say something about Jamie Foxx’s daughter. And remember, it has to be worse than wishing she’d become a lesbian heroin addict, or it doesn’t count. Go on, include a couple of sailors and a horny monkey into the insult. Give her a beak. Set it in space. You can do it, Billy Ray Cyrus! We believe in you!
Actually, we’re being highly inconsiderate here. What father wouldn’t fight back against a slur about his daughter? Also, remember that he’s essentially doing us all a favour – the more Billy Ray Cyrus speaks out about Jamie Foxx, the less Miley Cyrus has to. And, quite frankly, every second that we don’t have to look at Miley Cyrus’ face or hear her stupid voice is a second that we don’t want to hurl ourselves off the nearest bridge.

There isn’t anything funny about what Foxx said about Miley Cyrus or what was written here. Billy is being a good dad for standing up for his daughter when asked about it. He was booked on the Bonnie Hunt show long before Foxx made his idiotic comments. Ms. Hunt asked him a question and he answered it in a very classy manner. Unlike the writer of this article and Jamie Foxx, Cyrus simply pointed out the facts and put it in perspective rather than jumping into childish personal attacks and character assassination. Good for him. Both Foxx and you should wise up.
Dee says
The apology was a joke.
There is also something else that is bothering me.In the Foxx audio, there is a woman with him. This women refers to Miley as a “white Bitch”. Who is this woman and why is the media overlooking this racial slur?

When you Google “hecklerspray”, the results page states: “hecklerspray is a snarky entertainment blog dedicated to celebrity gossip, music news, hollywood gossip and games”. Now, the definition of ‘snarky’ is “sarcastic, impertinent, or irreverent in tone or manner”. So why do these fools keep posting about how mean and unfunny hecklerspray is??? I just don’t understand… Why can’t Stuart get any love in this place?
Melodie says
But PG! What was his alternative? Really, what? If he’d done nothing, the headline would’ve been “Jamie Foxx Savages Miley Cyrus on His Radio Program While Dad Billy Ray Looks On.”
It’s a bit redundant for the guy to say “That wasn’t very nice, Jamie Foxx,” but it’s not like he had a choice, except in the sense of taking the namby-pamby daytime talk show high road.
(Seriously, Bonnie Hunt? Was his Uncle Joe-Bob’s cable access show pre-empted by a presidential address or something?)
dgaf says
I personally do not like miley cyrus… but what Jamie foxx said was out of line.
and i agree with the second comment, nobody even begun to look at the chick who said tht white bitch, and i dont give a fuck im gonna say it… people say white people are racist, hell no. i want tht comment to be noticed real quite, i bet you all the money in the world if a white person said tht black bitch people would have went crazy and would have done strikes, its rediculous and im angry right now. fuck everyone.
god is the one who can judge.
miley might be annoying and not a good role model, but her family did not have to go through tht! if you dont agree with my comment well look at my name!

Race war! Race war!
Hollie C. says
okay, one, my dad’d kick the living daylights out of anyone who said that about me, and if someone said “white bitch” that is a RACIST comment and therefore should be arrested for anti white racism.
Billy Ray is standing up for Miley and whoever wrote this article is about 7 or something cause they can only come up with lame insults against miley and her family.
WISE UP.
Lollie says
If this wasn’t racist, I don’t know what is! Miley is a kid & Fox’s comments were sooooo off the charts!Billy Ray Cirus has too much class to attack Fox’s kid…so who is the better entertainer?My biggest concern is the people that think his remarks were funny.I would bet, there isn’t a white person out there that felt the attack on Miley was anything but racial.

Miley Ray Cyrus is bidding fair to replace Tom Cruise as the Official United States of America Object of Scorn. The similarities between the two are noteworthy: Both have achieved mad popularity on a sliver of talent; both take potshots at anyone who doesn’t bow in their direction; both are rude, dumb-ass twits who have found favor with fringe groups: he with Scientology; she with PETA. And let’s not forget that Miley’s father, Billy Ray of the Everlasting Mullet, is already hated for singing one of the most annoying goddamn songs in the history of pop music
Bob says
Dad put her in the lime light what was said is not in the best of taste. But when you seek public fame and put your body , mind, and soul out for public consumption you are fair game. Dad should know this, if not perhaps his ego, fame, and desire to help his daughter was a short sighted.
Julian Mentat says
Aren’t comedians supposed to say funny things?
When will Jamie start?
Scott says
If a white guy would have said that about a black guy’s daughter he’d have to apologize to J.Jackson and A.Sharpton, it would take him years to rebound. But Jamie the comedian said it, so it will go away, real quick!
Spokker says
I wonder what the underage singer’s adult boyfriend thought about the comments.
gb says
Jamie Foxx = disgusting looser, he should quit and his new movie should be removed from distribution.
He is just jealous that Miley is booming, while his black supremacist movies are down the toilet. I never watch his movies anyways. Miley is adorable, Fox = lost soul
Rebecca says
I thought that the writer should be impartial! You shouldn’t be writing commentaries for yahoo,,,,,,,,,,you’re an ass :D
