Billy Ray -- Hannah Montana 'Destroyed' My Family
Billy Ray Cyrus believes "
Hannah Montana" ruined his relationship with his daughter
Miley Cyrus -- claiming, "The damn show destroyed my family."

Billy Ray spilled his guts to
GQ Magazine -- claiming Miley's handlers meddled in his relationship with his daughter and prevented him from properly parenting her through difficult situations ... including the Vanity Fair cover scandal and her controversial pole dancing performance at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.
Billy says he hasn't spoken to Miley since the bong video surfaced and states, "I'm scared for her. She's got a lot of people around her that's putting her in a great deal of danger."
Billy also claims "there's no doubt" his family is under attack by Satan.
When asked about "Hannah Montana" -- Billy said, "I'll tell you right now -- the damn show destroyed my family."
Billy says he wishes "Hannah" had never happened -- saying, "I'd take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just be everybody okay, safe and sound and happy and normal."
Billy also compares Miley to Anna Nicole Smith -- saying, "You could see that train wreck coming."
And there's a Michael Jackson connection -- during the interview, Billy revealed he tried to reach out to Michael Jackson before his death and invite him to a taping of the show ... explaining, "I just felt it would be good for Michael."
Billy never revealed if MJ ever took him up on his offer.
Miley Cyrus Scandals
The Topless 'Vanity Fair' Shoot
People were outraged when Miley posed topless (but covered) in 2008 for Annie Leibovitz's infamous Vanity Fair shoot.
Miley issued an apology, saying, "I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed."
The Inappropriate Photo
It's the photo that spawned a $4 billion lawsuit — the one of Miley and pals mocking Asian people by slanting their eyes.
The photo came out in February, 2009 and prompted this apology: "I have learned a valuable lesson from this and know that sometimes my actions can be unintentionally hurtful. I know everything is a part of GOD's ultimate plan, and mistakes happen so that eventually I will become the woman he aspires me to be."
By the way ... a judge threw out the massive lawsuit against Miley.
Miley Hits the Pole
In August of 2009, 16-year-old Miley pole danced during her performance at the TEEN CHOICE AWARDS ... and pissed off parents around the country in the process.
Billy Ray defended her again, saying, "You know what? I just think that Miley loves entertaining people. I always tell her to love what you're doing and stay focused for the love of the art and not worry so much about opinion."
Miley Partying with a Bong
Miley's latest scandal — she celebrated her 18th birthday last year by taking a huge bong rip ... on video.
As we first reported, sources close to Miley say she wasn't smoking weed — rather a substance called salvia that's legal in California.
Miley broke her silence about the video two months after we posted it, saying, "I'm not perfect ... I made a mistake. I'm disappointed in myself for disappointing my fans."
Miley -- It's Corona Time
In November of last year, Miley was photographed with a Corona during a trip to Spain. But thanks to lax drinking laws there — people as young as 16 are allowed to consume — Miley wasn't on the hook for underage drinking.
