Is Billy Ray trying to steal Miley Cyrus’ spotlight?

A report has claimed that a jealous Billy Ray has tried to steal the spotlight from Miley Cyrus.

Billy Ray may sound concerned about daughter Miley in recent interviews, but does he have ulterior motives?

An insider told the new issue of Us Weekly that Billy Ray, who appeared alongside his daughter on Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana for five years, “totally pushed Miley into being a star!”

A second insider told Us that his comments about his daughter stems more from jealousy than concern.

“He was always upset he didn’t get as much as attention as Miley,” the source said. “This is his way of stealing the spotlight.”

While Billy Ray recently insisted that he never made a penny of his daughter, a third source said: “Let’s face it: Hannah Montana revived his career as much as it made Miley’s,”
