‘Hannah Montana’ actress Miley Cyrus’s father has tried to put a stop to the controversy sparked by her pole dancing at this year’s Teen Choice awards,insisting that the star was only trying to entertain.

Some family welfare groups had criticised that the 16-year-old star danced provocatively,bringing strip club dancing to the stage of the year’s most wholesome awards show,reported Contactmusic.

Cyrus had performed along on a dance pole that was on top of an ice-cream pushcart and she was criticised for seeming to poke fun at American culture.

But Billy Ray Cyrus insists his daughter’s critics always go too far. “I just think that Miley loves entertaining people,” he said.

He has urged his daughter not to pay attention to the negative comments being levelled against her.

“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,” he added.

Earlier,the teen star was criticised for posing topless for a photo shoot with Vanity Fair. The actress,who is hugely popular among teenagers,had to apologise after parents expressed their outrage at the provocative nature of the photographs.
