Mormons Say: Billy Ray Cyrus Is A Bad Dad

Posted by HerBadMother

 

Well, one Mormon says so.

Marie Osmond says that Billy Ray Cyrus is responsible for Miley's recent troubles.

"My parents never, never left us alone," said Osmond. "We always had some form of a guardian or something with us, a guardian that would represent what they would have done. But in [Miley's] case, her dad stepped out [of the photo session], and that's when it happened.

"How do you say no to somebody like Annie [Leibovitz] when you're a little girl? It's an interesting thing that happened with her."

Isn't Marie Osmond the one who passed out on Dancing With The Stars while her teenage some was checking himself into rehab? 

In which case, her slamming Billy Ray for his parenting skills is maybe not quite so ironic as Dina Lohan slamming Tish Cyrus for hers, but it's close. Verrrrry close.

I think Ms. Osmond should not throw stones from a glass house and she should get ALL the facts before condemning another person. As a Christian, I've been taught by the Gospel that God does not judge a man until he reaches Heaven, so what gives anyone the right to judge here on Earth? Apparently Ms. Osmond missed that Bible lesson. Had she looked into the matter, she would have learned that Mr. Cyrus did NOT leave his daughter alone at the photo shoot. There were other family members and "handlers" present when Mr. Cyrus needed to leave to keep another appointment. Ms. Osmond's parents were not entertainers themselves, therefore they may have been more available. However, with that many children, I'm sure there were times when they were not able to be present for all their kids all of the time. As stated in the above article, Ms. Osmond was appearing on DWTS as her son was obviously in a crisis. I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who said "it is better to remain silent and thought a fool than to open one's mouth and prove it." Next time Ms. Osmond may want remain silent and leave us guessing.

Mormons say Cyrus is a bad Dad?  Marie Osmond is not the spokesman for her Church any more than Jerry Seinfeld is the spokesman for the Jewish faith.  If Seinfeld makes a comment about someone else do you post, "Jews said:...."?  Come on get it right...stop stereo-typing a religion based on one celebrity member's comments.

Thank you Steve.

Please FameCrawler don't you want to look at least somewhat credible? By saying an entire religion believes something because one known member said it is ridiculous.

I would also add my thanks to Steve for pointing out the deceptive title that is attached to this post.  Sarah, you took the words right out of my mouth!
