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.

917. Only Miley and the guy on the left are really trying (and by the way, no offense and in all seriousness Miley looks better with asian eyes)

The three on the right just look constipated.

919. If ıt were just Miley doing the eyes in the photo, then I'd get it...but everyone else is doing it to.

So...get the chopsticks out of your ass, and get over it.

Look at you, with your eyes all wide, trying to be Caucasian


Those two lines above would be the racially insulting thing to say. And since this guy apparently wants to start some racial drama...:)) they're perfect

921. I am only young but I do have a say to this lawsuit currently being held. On that rough photo of Miley Cyrus impersonating an Asian, my clear statement is that all kids all adults all ages impersonate people but just because their NOT a celebrity the lawsuit does not take place. Besides the fact $4 billion dollars... you don't even get sued that much money as a fine for a murder case. to conclude my statement I would like to add that even though I have never seen any money over $20, for a case like this. so I know that I might be a little judge mental but look at the pole voting on your website... what does Australia think?
