I suspect that it was a manufactured controversy, and that Leibowitz was the unlucky patsy. Cyrus's parents are no doubt aware that her career as a teenybopper star has hit its best-before date and that she had to update her reputation to something more interesting to teens than pre-teens in order to keep her in the spotlight (and the income). Disney on the other hand doesn't want to lose a proven moneymaker until her stock actually tanks. -- M.
