Miley Cyrus has gotten her dad to back out of a scheduled appearance on "The View" -- to keep him from bad-mouthing "Hannah Montana," according to reports.
Last week, dad Billy Ray Cyrus complained in an interview with GQ magazine that he was no longer close to his daughter and that he regretted ever letting her appear in the Disney Channel series that made her famous.
"At first, Miley defended her dad, wanting to believe he had been tricked into saying bad things by the magazine," an insider told popeater.com, a Hollywood gossip site owned by AOL.
