Toss Suit Over 'Slanty-Eyed' Pic: Miley's Lawyers

Plaintiff asking $4K for each of LA's Asian-Americans

Share

(Newser) – Miley Cyrus, probably ruing the day she slanted her eyes in a picture, is pushing to toss a $4 billion lawsuit related to the photo, E! reports. Cyrus’ lawyers challenged Lucie Kim’s suit, citing a civil rights statute that basically says Kim doesn’t deserve money simply for being insulted. Plus, Kim acknowledged Cyrus “did not intend to discriminate,” according to the document. The hearing is set for June 4.

Get over it, Kim. Now that you have made yourself look ridiculous, you should pay yourself that 4K and take a vacation. Reply

really? they really think she'll just pay up 4 billion and then they'd go and give it to all the chinese people? god damn people need to relax and get off their high horse. I know off the top of my head 10 asian-americans who think this whole think is stupid and funny, and they're FAR from insulted by a picture of some teenager being silly. Shit, everyone has at one time or another done the chinese slant eye joke. Infact, i'm doing it right now!!! Reply

I think admitting that you know who the fuck Miley Cyrus actually IS, is an indicator that you're such a dipshit, you're incapable of being insulted. Reply
