Cue the banjos, there is drama in the Cyrus clan. Miley Cyrus flexed her muscle and forced pa Billy Ray to cancel his interview on The View. He recently referred to his daughter as Anna Nicole Smith (way to go pa) and said that Disney destroyed his family.  He must be getting his parenting-fame-whoring skills from Michael Lohan.

Popeater’s Rob Shuter reports that a family friend told him:

When Miley found out her father was scheduled to appear on ‘The View’ on Wednesday she went nuts,”  ”Only last week, Billy shot his mouth off in GQ, and now he planned to sit down with [Barbara and Whoopi] and talk more crap about his family. No way would Miley or her team let that happen.

While Billy claims to want to shelter his daughter, I’m not sure how he thinks viewing their private business on The View will accomplish this. Not only is Miley pissed with him you can imagine the hell he will go through now that Barbara Walters is pissed with him.

Josh Bowman is Miley Cyrus’ Dog Sitter

Billy Ray’s rep confirmed to PopEater that mullet-man’s NYC trip was cancelled.

This family has been in show business all of their lives, so they know the score. It’s odd that Billy Ray would go down this path unless it’s all calculated. Yet I can’t imagine it is. I’m baffled by all of this.

What do you think of this family drama?
