LOS ANGELES — Miley Cyrus is defending her performance on Britain's Got Talent earlier this week in which she simulated a lesbian kiss.
In a message posted Friday on her official Web site, the 17-year-old singer and actress said she did nothing wrong. She also urged her critics to focus their attention on more important topics like world peace.
"To all my fans, Thank you for all the support you all show me," wrote Cyrus. "Sometimes youre the only thing keepin’ me goin’ strong! There are so many people out there that are so negative and always causing new issues. I feel like the entertainment industry has become nothing but a disgusting tabloid."
"I performed 'Cant Be Tamed' this week on one of my favorite shows here in the UK Britians Got Talent. Which is totally true, there were some amazinnnggg acts (but of course no one could focus on that.) I had such a blast and was so honored to be on that stage," she continued. "That being said during my performance I supposedly 'KISSED A GIRL' and this is the newest thing to cause controversy. I promise you I did not kiss her and it is ridiculous that two entertainers cant even rock out with each other without the media making it some type of story. I really hope my fans are not disappointed in me because the truth is I did nothing wrong. I got up there and did my job which is to perform to the best of my ability. I just want to put an end to this right now and just say one thing to everyone out there making this performance such a big deal."
"GET OVER IT! NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE ARE WAYYYYYYY MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE WORLD. Lets start focusing a little less on making up ignorant rumors and focus a little more on world peace! We gotta a lot of work to do if we wan this earth to be here much longer. Lets make a change! It wouldn’t hurt the world to show a little more love," ended the teen star.
Cyrus is currently on a promotional tour of Europe for her upcoming album, Can't Be Tamed, which is due for release later this month.
