A Mexican state legislature has asked the country’s federal government to fine singer Miley Cyrus after one of her dancers spanked Cyrus’s backside with a Mexican flag as she “twerked” during an independence day performance.
Cyrus, 21, who has grabbed headlines for her admitted drug use, sexually suggestive dancing and wearing as little as a pair of boots in a music video, was performing in Monterrey in the northern state of Nuevo Leon.
Local lawmaker Francisco Trevino said that the Nuevo Leon state legislature had approved a warrant for the Interior Ministry to enforce the law on use of the flag.
She or her team could be fined up to the equivalent of around $1,200 or be detained for 36 hours, Trevino said.
Mexican authorities are often sensitive toward signs of disrespect for national symbols. In 2008, singer Paulina Rubio was fined for posing without clothes but wrapped in the country’s flag.

Trashy
Disgusting
Well, I think most of my descriptive thoughts have been expressed. So I’ll just triple ditto how awful she is!!
GOOD—slam her hard
Miley Cyrus is garbage! Would you really expect anything different from that trash?
1200 bucks? Probably not even her weekly Starbucks budget
How dare this little tramp defile any country’s flag? I think she is disgusting and should be severely fined. Is she so stupid as to not realize just how trashy she is. What about her parents. her handlers?
tramp….LOL!
Disgusting. She is so far overboard it is silly.
Please do fine her a bug time.
she is gross
This is very disrespectful! Disgusting!
The Americans would be extremely upset!
Roseann Barr was almost run out of the country for singing the national anthem off key at a baseball game. :)
No flag except ISIL should be disrespected
Jimmy, they have a flag??
Yes’m
Yes she needs to use it!!
This is their flag. Officially as news media we cannot support such actions.. but personally, yeah, go for it :P
What would happen if a Mexican rock or pop star did that in the states to the US flag?
Nothing, probably. But Mexico isn’t the USA. ;-)
Wait. Are we supposed to be offended by her ridiculous act or by the ridiculous reaction people are having to her ridiculous act?
All she did was wipe her ass on a Mexican flag at Mexican gig to get some publicity.
I think the most offensive part is that so many “singers” are known for their controversy because that’s really their only talent. She is no different. Her father could be taking notes. :P
If they did it to the US flag, they’d be terrorists!
