Miley Cyrus responds to EMAs joint controversy, Parents TV Council praises MTV for edit

Miley Cyrus responded to the controversy her joint smoking during the MTV Europe Music Awards by telling everyone that she could care less. Meanwhile, MTV has actually earned some positive words from the Parents Television Council, which slammed the network for her VMAs performance.

Before Cyrus picked up her award for Best Music Video at the ceremony in Amsterdam this weekend, she lit a joint. The “Wrecking Ball” singer joked that she didn’t have room in her luggage for the award, but she could fit the joint. When MTV aired the ceremony in the U.S., the moment was completely cut out.

“Last night MTV made a responsible decision and they executed it perfectly,” PTC President Tim Winter said in a statement. “It is unclear whether MTV’s actions suggest stricter content guidelines for its TV-14 programming, or whether this is just an example of the old saying that ‘even a broken clock is right twice each day.’ We certainly hope it is the former.”

Winter added that the group applauds MTV for “for taking responsible actions to eliminate the drug use from its U.S. broadcast, and we urge them to make that a uniform policy for all of its programming.”

The PTC had slammed August’s VMAs for both Cyrus’ sexually charged performance with Robin Thicke and Lady Gaga’s opening performance. The group said MTV was “marketing sexually charged messages to young children using former child stars.”

Cyrus took to Twitter to express disappointment that her speech from the EMAs wasn’t online. “[Go] online and watch what really went down at the EMAs!” she told her fans, but later, she wrote, “No vids of performance???”

Eventually, she decided, “sometimes in life you just gotta decide to not give AF.”

Cyrus will get a chance to do more outrageous things during her Bangerz tour next year.
