On the same day Miley Cyrus’ was quoted by The New York Times as saying her twerking, Molly-popping persona is “a character,” she went on to post a picture of her touching tongues with British model Cara Delevingne.
This stunt rounds out a year of controversies for the former Disney star. It also rounds out a year of successful record sales. And the connection between those two things isn’t coincidental. In Miley’s words, her provocative image is akin to anything Madonna or successful rock ‘n’ rollers would have done back in the day. What was so shocking about her case is that people could compare her to the days of Hannah Montana.
“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,” Miley said her character. “I don’t really dress as a teddy bear and, like, twerk on Robin Thicke.”
That isn’t to say Miley’s innocent. Addressing Joe Jonas’ accusations that she and Demi Lovato introduced him to weed, Miley doesn’t deny her presence in the room — but wondered aloud how an older boy could get peer pressured by teenage girls.
“If you want to smoke weed, you’re going to smoke weed. There’s nothing that two little girls are going to get you to do that you don’t want to do,” Miley said. “I thought maybe he was saying that like it was going to make him look bada**.”
Although that seemed to backfire for Joe, Miley was unfazed by his story. After all, he was unwittingly contributing to the notoriety of her character.
