Asians Want $4 Billion From Miley Cyrus

Posted Feb 12th 2009 2:00AM by TMZ Staff

A Los Angeles woman has filed a class action suit against Miley Cyrus, claiming she mocked Asians in a recent photo by slanting her eyes. Price tag: $4 billion.

miley cyrus sued

Lucie J. Kim claims to represent more than 1 million Asian Pacific Islanders who live in L.A. County. Kim claims when Cyrus posed for the photo, she "knew or should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life, specifically TMZ."

Kim says in the suit, filed Wednesday in L.A. County Superior Court, that each Asian Pacific Islander is entitled to the minimum damages for a civil rights violation -- $4,000. Add it up -- $4 billion!

Kim says Miley's "just a kid" defense doesn't fly. She says it's like Paris Hilton claiming to be just a kid. Ouch.

Miley's peeps could not immediately be reached for comment.

17. I agree with #4.
What about the others in the pic? Are they getting sued as well? Can't be prejudice now can we?

18. Puuuuuuuuh lease. 4 billion? A bit outragous to go to this cry baby. She just wants to make a quick buck and a name. Maybe she'll take all of the money to and donated to the Asian countries that perform all the surgeries on the women who have their eyes changed to look like caucasians.

21. What a joke! They want to make a quick buck. They're crying over spilled milk and bet they don't even care what she did- again, our system being used! THere was NOTHING wrong with what those kids did. Its a flippin' picture by some 16 yr old teenagers! Get over it people!

22. Oh, suing is SOOOOO old school. The new Amercian way is to have as many babies as you can in one shot (or 2 or 3) and then wait for TLC to come running to give you a tv show. Or just put up a website and beg for money. Geez. Lawsuits. That's so last century . . .

24. This woman need to not only get a job but maybe get a life. Trying to make a buck off a teenager is pathetic. Maybe Miley should not have done this stupid act, but she is just a kid and she should not have to pay for some being offended, there are numerous people who get offended every day and just because this person has some money, LEAVE THE KID ALONE. it is that old saying Find someone your own age to pick on!!!!

29. Why do people think they have to right "not to be offended". Whave a fredom to say what we want, and sometimes people suffer the consequences for doing so (Dixie Chicks). These people need to grow a pair!!!!! I am offended that they are offended, using their logic maybe I should sue them!
