Has Miley Gone Too Far? Singer Censored For 'Smoking A Joint' ON STAGE at MTV Awards While Wearing A Risqué Leotard
Monday, 11 November 2013
Miley Cyrus took her controversial antics to new highs on Sunday night when she appeared to smoke a joint on stage at the MTV awards while wearing a dangerously high-cut sheer leotard.
The twenty year- old- singer lit a rolled cigarette onstage in Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome - a controversial move which was hastily edited out when her performance was broadcast in the U.S.
Miley, the wrecking ball crooner made sure she stood out from a bevvy of scantily-clad celebrities at the event by taking to the stage in a latex white leotard cut so dangerously high that it left little to the imagination.
When she picked up the award for Best Video for her track Wrecking Ball, Miley grinned as she attempted to shove the award into her vintage $2,150 Chanel bag, before pulling out what appeared to be a joint and telling the audience: 'I can't fit it in my bag... but I did find this!'The act was deemed so controversial by MTV bosses that it was edited out of the show when it was aired in the U.S. Instead, the show featured only a brief shot of Miley accepting her award and thanking her fans.]
However a 35-second clip of Miley lighting up later appeared on YouTube, giving American fans a chance to see the controversial moment. The Parents Television Council praised MTV for editing out the apparent drug use.
In a comment to MailOnline, PTC President Tim Winter said: 'Last night MTV made a responsible decision and they executed it perfectly.
'It is unclear whether MTV’s actions suggest stricter content guidelines for its TV-14 programming, or whether this is just an example of the old saying that ''even a broken clock is right twice each day.''
'We certainly hope it is the former. We applaud MTV for taking responsible actions to eliminate the drug use from its U.S. broadcast, and we urge them to make that a uniform policy for all of its programming.'
Miley's decision to light up on stage also did little to impress many of her fans, with people taking to Twitter to comment on the act.
