Miley Cyrus pulled out of her first scheduled public appearance since Vanity Fair published controversial photos of the 15-year-old star, it has emerged. The 15-year-old star of "Hannah Montana" for weeks has been scheduled to appear at a red carpet event for Disney in Orlando, Florida, but it has been confirmed that she will no longer attend.
Miss Cyrus was to appear at a media party in Orlando, Florida tonight, along with dozens of other Disney Channel stars in town to film the "Disney Channel Games," a charity competition.
But her status as a role model for young girls has been called into question after the Vanity Fair photos, showing Cyrus' bare shoulders and back, taken by renowned celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz were released.
She and the magazine defended the pictures, saying the singer, her parents and her handlers approved of the images during the shoot.
Miss Cyrus said earlier this week that she was "embarrassed" by the pictures and apologised to fans.
