Miley Cyrus Twerks on Mexican Flag at Monterrey Show

go to original
September 19, 2014

No Más!

Another day, another Miley Cyrus controversy, But the dial-an-uproar singer's latest brouhaha has the added allure of coming from down in Mexico.

During her Tuesday night Bangerz tour concert in Monterrey, the ever-demure former Disney TV star engaged in a lively bit of rump-shaking twerking, while wearing a prosthetic bottom.

Her faux behind is not, however, the source of the controversy. Rather, it was her decision to use a Mexican flag - which was applied to her simulated derriere by one of her male dancers - as she twerked.

Not surprisingly, her antics did not sit well with some Mexican authorities, at least one of whom wants Cyrus, 21, fined and possibly jailed for desecrating the flag. The fact that this twerk-with-the-flag routine occurred on Mexican Independence Day may have added fuel to the ire of some people. Ditto video of the incident being posted on YouTube.

People like Monterrey lawmaker Francisco Trevino, who told reporters that the Nuevo Leon state legislature had approved a warrant for Mexico's Interior Ministry to probe the incident and hold Cyrus liable for her actions. Mexico's constitution specifically protects "national emblems, the flag, and the national anthem."

According to Trevino, Cyrus or unidentified members of her entourage could be fined up to the equivalent of around $1,200 or detained for 36 hours.

Cyrus next scheduled tour stop is Friday in Mexico City. The singer, a self-avowed pot head who recently opined that social media is worse than drugs, has yet to weigh in on her Mexican flag controversy.
