Billy Ray Cyrus Comments On Miley Cyrus's Vanity Fair Scandal

"I didn't know they were going to strip her down and wrap her in a blanket," Cyrus, tells Today anchor Meredith Vieira.

"I was surprised when I saw it ... but, hey, that's life. Stuff happens."
Cyrus said he never thought to complain. "I didn't," he told Vieira, " 'cause my dad always said, 'The more you stomp in poop, the more it stinks.' "

"Okay, this happened. We gotta deal with it."
