Miley Cyrus could have been a triggering factor in the breakup of married couple, Robin Thicke and Paula Patton.

According to TMZ, sources say that because of the pairs raunchy performance of “Blurred Lines” at the VMA’s, Patton felt “utterly disrespected” by her husband.

Apparently, Cyrus’ twerking upon Thicke was completely improvised by the 21-year-old pop star and what really angered Patton was that her husband went along with it.

Sources also said that the couple got into a huge fight the night of the show especially when photos surfaced of him with other women at the after-parties in seductive embraces.

Despite the struggle Thicke has reportedly been facing with trying to get his wife back, Patton recently made her first appearance since the breakup on March 1 at the Independent Spirit Awards. She was all smiles but seen without her wedding ring wearing a yellow Lorena Sarbu dress.

However, in a joint statement shortly after their separation, the couple said, “We will always love each other and be best friends.”
