Today, January 5, 2014, Fox News has reported that Miley Cyrus claims she’s just playing a character in her new tongue-wagging and twerking incidence and she does not want it to be confused with the “real” Miley Cyrus.
In an interview with the New York Times Cyrus said, “I went from people just thinking I was, like, a baby to people thinking I’m this, like, sex freak that really just pops molly and does lines all day. It’s like, ‘Has anyone ever heard of rock ‘n’ roll?’ she said. “There’s a sex scene in pretty much every single movie, and they go, ‘Well, that’s a character.’ Well, that’s a character. I don’t really dress as a teddy bear and, like, twerk on Robin Thicke you know?”
Cyrus is defending her new public image, as she touches upon the problematic racial connotations of her work, Joe Jonas and why she hasn’t got a lot of celebrity friends?
Here are some of the five highlights below:
(1) Cyrus doesn’t realize how people could ever consider her to be a racist; and by saying, “It’s actually funny how people can watch my performance, and think it was, like, sexist and degrading to women, and then people somehow found it was racist, which I cannot wrap my mind around. Because I’m like: ‘How do I win? If there are white dancers, then I’m racist; and if there are black girl dancers, I’m racist.’ We know we’re not racist, and I know I’m not putting down women. People also got a rise when I said that I was a feminist, but I am. I’m telling women to be whoever they want to be.”
(2) Cyrus says, “I dream of a post-racial future: I thought about it a lot when Nelson Mandela passed away, because I cannot imagine living this life and seeing how much it’s changed. I look forward to being older, my kids being like, ‘What do you mean people ever even talked about what color your dancers were?’
(3) When Cyrus was asked about how her image gets in the way of her celebrity friendships, she says, “I don’t have a lot of celeb friends, I guess it’s because I feel like some of them feel, a little scared of the association; and this is terrible. I was backstage with Anana Grande, and I’m like, ‘Walk out with me right now and get this picture, and this will be the best thing that happens to you, because when you’re associating with me it makes you a little less sweet.”
(4) Cyrus’ reactions to Joe Jonas telling the press that she had pressured him into smoking pot; and she replied, “If a person wants to smoke weed, they’re going to smoke weed, and there’s not a thing two girls can do to get another person to do what they do not want to do. It could be that Jonas said this because it was going to make him look like a bada__.”
(5) Cyrus’ response to on not wanting to be a role model for young girls: “Right now, as for me doing any kind of cover for anything such as a Seventeen or Teen Vogue or whatever, the way I talk isn’t the way people who are 17 understands; and saying, ‘There was something Kurt Cobain said, something like, ‘There’s a special place in hell for people that glamorize drugs,’ and I don’t ever want to be the person that’s, like, talking to 16 and 17-year-olds and being like, ‘Smoke weed.’”
This is another saga in the wagging tongue and twerking incidents of Miley Cyrus and I hope that this additional information will provide readers a better understanding of her recent actions.
