JONAS BROTHERS - JONAS BRO DEFENDS CYRUS

THE JONAS BROTHERS' singer JOE JONAS has come to the defence of MILEY CYRUS after a set of provocative photographs of the teen leaked online.
In the snaps, which began circulating on the Internet earlier this week (begs21Apr08), Cyrus is shown smiling at the camera wearing a black crop-top and pants as she stretches out across an unknown boy's lap.
In another shot, the 15-year-old is seen playing with her hair as she pulls down her white top with her other hand to reveal her lacy bright green bra.
But Jonas, who admits he has not seen the snapshots himself, believes the Hannah Montana actress can overcome the controversy.
Jonas, 18, says, "I think it's just the way you come out of it. As much as they say, no one's perfect and everybody makes their mistakes. I think it's the way you handle it and come out of it the proper and respectful way.
"We're good friends of hers, and we got her back and we love her to death."
It's not the first time Cyrus has been caught up in a scandal - photos showing the star in her underwear surfaced online earlier this year (08).
