Miley Cyrus has spoken out over photos circulating the Internet that show the Hannah Montana star and a female friend in a series of mildly suggestive poses.

In the candid pics, Miley and a pal are shown frolicking on a hotel room floor and sharing a piece of candy.

However, the actress/singer says that the leaked shots are perfectly innocent and simply depict “two girls at a sleepover.”

She told Z100 New York: "They're nothing bad! At first, I was really upset. It really sucks."

"It's not something I'm going to let slide," she continued. "I'm really upset about it, 'cause it was, like, not even a big deal."

Miley describes the blonde with her in the shots as "a friend of mine that's a normal girl...That's one of my best friends. I have all these girls who I hang out with all the time."

As to the nature of the photos themselves, she insists: "It's two girls at a sleepover, and if all of a sudden that's bad, then what is the world coming to?"
