It turns out that the embarrassing crotch shot published on Perez Hilton‘s site of Miley Cyrus, 17, at the MMVAs was released by Reuters news service and also appears online at the Fox News site. The photo, shown above, was snapped just as the bottom of the teen’s outfit slipped.
A Reuters representative told Fox News that because “it occurred on stage in front of hundreds of people and other cameras, as well as the fact that the teen sensation is transitioning away from ‘Hannah Montana’ and into a more grown-up performer,” they decided to sell the picture.
Former Los Angeles sex crimes prosecutor Robin Sax told Fox News, “The picture is not prosecutable. It is a question of intent, and here the picture is taken on stage, in public, and its purpose is not child pornography. It was not intended to promote pornography.”

THOSE DAMN WARDROBE MALFUNCTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;)
here comes the new Britany!!! her parents must be so proud!!!
that’s a total “muff-border” shot…. but I’m not into minors like HorneeZombie
That means alot coming from someone who got caught drinking their own brothers sperm.
Wow… this is what entertains people now-a-days?
And while the truth is being told…that was cool to offer my sister 25 bucks for her underware she wore during her softball game!! I guess that’s what happen when your mother takes your temperature the baby way until your 16.
Miles knows exactly what image she wants to put out there and she’ll get lots of attention. She’s headstrong and we’ll either like it or not. I don’t.
Leave the girl alone.She’s obviously doing what she loves,entertainig. If you think she’ll stay “Hannah Montanna” forever you’re sadly mistaken. This was clearly unintentional and these photos should never have been sent around to fools, gawkers and those who don’t care who they hurt or embarrass for a buck! She just happens to be doing what everyone on the planet does… She’s growing up. If u can’t deal with a young girl trying to fullfill her dreams,then just shut up about it. Accidents happen!
who cares! could’ve happened to anyone who dances, no one wears underwear that is dancer and who doesn’t shave anymore?!!
who cares! could’ve happened to anyone who dances, no one wears underwear that is a dancer and who doesn’t shave anymore?!!
Miley has gone past the boundary of decency. She’s now in the league of Paris and Lohan. Madonna and Lady Gaga use revealing costumes in their acts without crossing the line. If Miley wants to grow up then she should pattern herself after adults and not infants like Lohan and Paris.
I’m pretty sure it’s photoshopped… her left leg and her right leg don’t even look the same width or skin colour, and the costume has a scalloped edge on one side at the bottom but not the other… someone didn’t even take the time to make it look convincing.
WHO CARES!!!!! Photographers should have the morals not to take pics like this. She is not getting out of a car with a mini and no underwear. FRIGGGG people. Who wears underwear under a bathing suit…..is is comfy???
She has an outfit on. If the camers men want to look for things and stand practically underneath her for a crotch shot, then celebs need to start cracking down on the photogs. All of this stuff is so stupid and a waste of time. Anyone realize there is an oil spill going on???? Let’s get real.
Gillette called and wants to know if you’d do a Venus Razor commercial.
WOW like this wasnt planned? Geez public suck it up some more…Can you say rthe next issue of “Barely Legal”?
WOW like this wasnt planned? Jeez go ahead public suck it up some more…Can you say the next issue of “Barely Legal”?
WOW like this wasnt planned? Jeez go ahead public suck it up some more…Can you say the next issue of “Barely Legal”?
To me, it looks more like a man’s genitals stickin out…
Its so sad to watch another girl go down the drain.Another Brittany spears here we come. And I am sure in Mileys mind she is saying I will never be like Brittany,I hope she realizes she doesn’t have to perform like a sleaze to be loved by millions
Sorry for the repetition, my computer is stuttering…lol
It is Photoshopped! Look at the jaggies on the right side of her crotch
Why don’t theyleave the kid lone. She’s talented, and she has her family around her. Let her be, and she’ll be just fine!!!!
chubster strikes again, yuck.
Not sure what the fascination with Miley is, she is chubby fugly.
who gives an achy-breaky crap
Seriously what is this world coming to these days, seems to be getting worse and worse!? Don’t people learn and pay attention anymore to the things that go on around them and what people do, especialy celebrities and all their stupid mistakes that they seem to make over and over and over again!? And then people wonder why kids are having sex at such young ages right now and kids when they are still kids themselves and there are all these drug/alcohol problems at such young ages!? I can guarantee she will trun out to be the next Britney Spears and grow up with A LOT of major problems!! Where are her parents no rules or guidlines or anything they let her do what she wants and get aways with things normal kids her age shouldn’t, her parents are not real parents and parental figures and one day trust me they will see all her problems and what she turns out to be which will not be very good and realize that it’s too late and they messed up by not being real parents. Just because you’re a celebrity and make alot of money doesn’t make you any different as a human being than the rest of us humans out there!! Do you see normal kids doing what some of these celebrity kids are doing and parents not being involved in their kids lives and letting them get away with so much yes it happens but not often and these kids turn out fine. Miley Cyrus has crossed the line so many times and on so many levels and she will regret it one day trust me and be really messed up with super problems. You can’t change the past only realize your mistakes and work on the current and not making them so your future doesn’t get messed up from those mistakes and she hasn’t and isn’t seeing that and will have major consequences in the future!! I will only laugh at it and definetly not feel sorry for her at all!!
Up here in Canada we have a lot of problems with beaver. They roam our streets at night, getting into all sorts of trouble. Some of them can be downright nasty and violent. Especially the old ones. Some could snap your finger off with one snap. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, famous Disney characters gone bad. She isn’t that good anyway, so she has to compensate somehow. Too bad her choice in publicity makes her look like a skunk (is that spelled with a U or an A?)
You want fame? Show your ass if talent is fading.
Miley is an annoying ,egomaniac.
watch herinterviews.This was well calculated.Have we forgottenthat at 15 she had a 23 boyfirend living with her in her parents home.Blame her parents.And while we are on the subject,has anyone seen teh pics of her little sis all over the internet dressed like madonna mini>??? come on,this family had a one trick pony indad and want tomake sure the kids last longer evenifit means they are pseudo porn stars.
before she shaved ,she should have got braces.
She’s getting exactly what she wants free publicity and it sure isn’t the kind I would want for my kid. She’s a little girl trying to compete in a sexual oriented society. Where the hell are her parent in all this crap?This kind of shit just blows my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idiots! The world is full of idiots, with too much time on there hands.
That’s not a crotch shot! That’s a shot, with an angle of her inner thigh. Sure it’s near her crotch, but that’s more like the arm-pit of her thigh. (a thigh-pit, if you will)
And for all those making such a fuss, well, they qualify as: Stu-pit! Just saying.
First of all, if you find her so annoying,why are you spending all your time looking at her interviews?Miley is a young girl in an industry that everyone is going to comment about.We cannot assume anything happened on purpose. Everyone in the world is so judgemental about everyone but themselves these days.All I can say about it is, Miley will learn along the way.She will have to take the good with the bad.Who am I to judge.I am not in her footsteps.
Why is one leg brown and one is white and she suddenly grew balls or something round and extra down there that girls don’t have?
I thought it was going to be a lot worse. I don’t find it pornographic in the least. In future wear your own clothes not Lady GaGas.
I agree with Karen. That photo just doesn’t look right. The legs are different colours and sizes and the crotch looks like its hanging down like balls or something. Anyone wearing a suit like that with such loose legs would be just asking for something to show. Also one leg is a scalloped edge and the other is smooth. Its just a bad photoshop job.

POINT WELL SAID!!!
I hate how people feel so critical! I was at the awards and she was literally a foot away from me and I can tell you this photo has been alterd in some way! Find something else to bitch about!
maybe miley should date that beaver guy lol
2 most annoying ppl alive her and beaver.
As the Hollywood expression goes:
All publicity is good publicity.
For a so called crotch shot it doesn’t show anything.
just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it isn’t perverted…oh, I hope that faggot is locked up
Is this not like Child porn??? So gross. It almost should be reported!!
i honestly don’t get why she feels she needs to dress like a slut to get “away” from her “good girl” status…you don’t see the major celebrities dressing up like a whore just to get publicity…and on that note if she was talented enough she wouldn’t need any form of publicity to boost her career…after the stunts shes pulling lately her career will suffer and it’s gonna be her own damn fault for trying to be a “grown up”
Ok that doesnt even look like its her crotch, and i feel sorry for her. God only knows what Billy Rae is saying about this! As a father i would be furious but then again would not submit my daughter in this business.
Different color legs?? Lighting and angle of the legs, that’s all…
Jaggies? It’s the trim of her costume. Have a better look.
Balls??? Seriously??? If you can’t tell a scrotum from a mons pubis, then, boy, have I got someone for you to meet… *LMAO*
This image was not photoshopped. The photographer is using a zoom lens which can distort some of the elements in the image. Her left leg is pointing directly at the camera. The zoom lens causes foreshortening which makes the leg appear odd in comparison to the right leg which is at just about 90 degrees to the camera.
What’s the big deal? Her pappa has been pimpin’ her out since she was a little girl. This is nothin’ compared to what this little mutt will do for exposure. I’m sure… there’s is more of this to come. We will look back and say that this photo was tame, by comparison.
I can only imagine if this is what Billy Ray was thinking when he said that his dream for his daughter who he said is “god’s gift to bring light to the the world” when he nicknamed her “smiley”. Soon to become Britney Spears II gone terribly wrong. It’s sad because she does seem like a nice kid.
This picture was photoshopped? To all you people who claim to be experts on crotch shots, it seem that you can’t tell the difference between how legs tan. Actually, I’s surprised that the isides of Miss Mutt’s thighs are so lilly-white.
Daddy probably shaved her.
Wow….Do your thing girl! You know how to move!
i hate miley cyrus with a pashon. she lookes like the new linsey lophon and she does DRUGES like miley drinking sperm. my sister is not alowed to watch hannah montana but i cant stand her she makes me want to throwup. but i dont care you she is a slut ……………. LOSER LOSER LOSER HANAH MONTANAH IS A LOSER. we all hate you agsept for LOSERS. LIKE HANNAH MONTANHAH.
HONESTLY SHE IS WAY TOO YOUNG TO BE WEARING ONLY HER UNDERWEAR ONSTAGE ANYWAY! WHERE ARE THIS GIRLS PARENTS?
SHE SHOULD BE MORTIFIED BY THIS PHOTO AS SHOULD HER PARENTS. NOT SURE HOW OLD SHE IS NOR DO I CARE REALLY BUT IF SHE IS UNDERAGE MAYBE MOM AND DAD SHOULD GET A VISIT
FROM YOUR CHILDRENS SERVICES. OH AND DISNEY SOULD REALLY CONSIDER THEIR CONNECTION WITH THIS WILD CHILD! LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER BRITTANY SPEARS IN THE MAKING !!!
yupp looks like another brittany spears am so shocked with the way miley is dreesing now doesnt give good expressions for young girls out there the way she dressing now
there are many ways of looking sexy with clothing to entertain on stag, not just wear a bathing suit.
you don’t have to dress like the matured artist like lady gaga, beyonce, katie perry… etc… the are wonderful artist…miley does not no better… the stupid people out there… her parents aren’t doing their job. just dress your age… and seriously she has sooo much time to grow up to dress that way… now she just looks cheap.
i didnt read the comments, theres too many and i have to get ready for work, i am amazed at how many people voted for “If Miley doesn’t want embarrassing photos being taken of her, she should dress more carefully (45%)”. thats disgusting, if it was your daughter that was underage whos picture was all over the internet, news and being sold for money you would all be screaming child por*n and be expecting the people who took the photo be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. this should still be made a crime because even if it was an accidental photo, it still depicts child por*n.
If I was stupid enough to let my underage daughter go on stage dressed like that, I would not blame other people for taking photos of her. If her parents don’t give a damn, mandee, why should you?
She chose to dance on stage in an undergarment. Photoshopped or not, she wore an incredibly revealing outfit in an attempt to make a splash. Which she did. I am disgusted at her lack of respect to herself, her wanting to step away from Hannah Montana is irrelevant to the millions of little girls watching her every move wanting to BE HER. She chose to be in the limelight, if only she could choose to look at that as a choice that brings a lot of responsibility.
Would you let your underage daughter go on a stage in front of millions of viewers dressed like that? There is no way in hell I would allow my daughter to go ANYWHERE dressed like that. There are perverts allover the world waiting to claim their victims, and she is portraying herself in a very bad manner. People are getting the wrong impression of her for a reason…they see the way she dresses and the way she dances and think she is a certain way, and I hate to say it, but I think it is with good reason. She needs to start understanding that young girls look up to her, and she is a role model. I don’t get why these young stars think that they have to dress skanky to get attention…they are only attracting bad attention. You are talented and beautiful…showcase that!
LOL “She shaved for the occasion” hahah… terrible but true…
I really hope miley grows out of this rebellious phase soon, it’s transparent and getting tired quickly.
ummmm WTF is the big deal any way? This photo if it is or isn’t photoshoped is just a fraction of a second in a preformance that just happened to be caught at the right place and time. It’s not like she was just standing there in a g-string grabbing at it yelling “LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME I AM SHOWING MY CROTCH!!!! I mean people GROW UP, and pay attention to the stuff that actually matters like as mentioned above the gulf of Mexico, or even the G 20 meetings going on this week. I’t no wonder we are turning into a society of brain dead morons when the so called “crotch shot” of some teenybopper is more important then the worlds issues I mean thousands if not millions of people die daily from starvation and all we seem to care about is Miley’s junk.
Kim on June 25, 2010 2:54 PM im sure her parents care that someone has a shot like that of her and is posting it and selling it for the whole world to see. my niece walks around in a bathing suit almost all summer long, she is 12, should people be allowed to take pics like this of her when she dances and parts slip out?
sad on June 25, 2010 3:29 PM she has said before that she wants to stick with the fans she already has, meaning growing up as they do. would you want to spend your life pretending to be a teen and a perfect little girl if you had the chance to grow up alongside your fans?
Meladee on June 25, 2010 4:08 PM at some point (im gonna say age 17 here) you have to let your children dress the way they want (especially if they are rich and paying for their own clothing) and let them make their own mistakes and learn as they grow. that does not make this kind of picture ok. the reason these young stars dress the way they do is because the entire world is made to believe that the only way to be beautiful is to dress showing all of your skin. this is the medias fault and the parents fault for not giving their children better guidance and helping them grow up with a self esteem. also, parents that try to force their children to be something their not, or dress a way they dont want to, generally get pregnant 15 year olds.
j on June 25, 2010 6:15 PM very well said.
Why are you making such a big deal about a costume flaw, no one ever made such a stink when it happened to Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl. As far as Perez Hilton goes he is a sick pervert who I am sure himself is into Child Pornography or maybe he is a Child Molester. I am so sick of some washed up perverted homosexual piece of garbage running up and down every person who is just a bit different or trying to make the transition from Teen Pop Star to Adult Entertainer. Since we know she can act and of course sing and write her own songs it is time she was able to grow up and the media and Perez Hilton should keep their minds and eyes and comments to themselves and lay off of Miley Cyrus.
It is just very sad to see so much attention to a young girls wardrobe accident. Pro or con. No one had to publish it. I am ashamed of you Reuters.
this is the picture that people were flipping out about? come on seriously? I thought it was one of those ones were they she would be totally bare and it would be blurred out but she is actually were something I don’t see the big problem?
Wow this is so fake. When will people stop editing photos to publically embarass celebrities? Get a life.
Yes she does look embarassed & shocked. Wow if that isn’t staged I don’t know what is. So if they have a 17 year old walking around or driving around naked do you mean we can’t snap a photo of him/her. She’s not a child. She’s well aware of the struck pose. This is really absurd to waste time on.
I don’t see anything wrong with the photo. Nothing’s showing.
where are her undies? like what is her dad thinking?
unless hes getting money out of these pictures! just wrong and for the guy whom took this pic regarless if it was in apublic photo shoot or not, he should be charged for posting this picture and should have done the right thing and destroyed it! with out having athought, But none of this surprises me! soo sad that this is what our world coming too?!!!!!!!!
If I understand the point of this article, its wrong for Reuters to have released this picture but its okay for tribute to show it?
kate on June 26, 2010 11:30 PM i agree with pretty much all of your comment. BUT, do you really think parents (or a dad) inspects a 17 year old for underwear before they go to work? wouldnt that make HIM a pervert?
hmm on June 26, 2010 11:59 PM i dont think its ok for tribute to post it, i think its just as wrong as the person that took the pic.
Yah right! Blame it on the photographer. He/She just snapped the picture. Little piglets like Miley Cyrus, already know what kind of pose to strike, to get the most publicity from. If you are looking for somebody to blame, how about Miley and her brain-dead, pimp parents. This girl is devoid of any morals and principles. That is her parents fault. Instead of pimping her out since she was a little girl, they had the responsibility to teach her right from wrong, and yes sir, yes maam, etc. etc. (it’s never to early to start teaching children). But they chose to ignore good parenting, and tried to make some easy money off of her. There should be a law, to lock parents like this up, for neglect of a child. When are people going to stand up and be responsible?
And just look at Miss “Know-It-All” now. Heard an interview with her lately? The interviewer can barely get a word in edge-wise. She has all the answers, and doesn’t need any advice. This is a sure sign of an under education. Mom and dad doing home schooling. Sure they are filthy rich from years of easy money at Disney, but they sacrificed a child in the mean time. Is this a fair trade-off for the child? What a bunch of hypocrits. I’m sure, God is smiling down on this family!!
I really like Miley but I don’t want to say everything she do is right. What she had done was wrong and I want her to change it.
Goes to show you the Miley is heading the down path of spears and lohan. Good singer and one day will be a good actress but PARTY ON MILEY
Wow is this what growing up and maturing is supposed to look like….If so the world is doomed!
gbh999 on June 27, 2010 12:52 PM i am pretty respectful towards people and i HAVE NEVER and WILL NEVER use the terms “sir” or “maam” and neither will any of my children. and allowing their child to be in show business doesnt make them bad parents. all teenage girls think they know everything and think they are making the right choices in their lives, they dont want advice (or listen to advice) from anyone. its typical. just because you would raise your children differently, doesnt mean the cyrus’ are doing a bad job.
Gotta agree with Thibz.
just wait till she turns 18 maxim and playboy will be banging on her door waiting to make millions
well she must wach out fore her eceo becuse
it will make her do things thar she can,t control
A little wanding would help heal that gash….serious…
firstly there’s only one reason you shave your crotch, it’s not convenient or an enjoyable thing to do, you do it so it looks nice to whoever sees it. secondly in the U.K. she’d be legally old enough to have sex (at 16) but not to have pornographic images shown (untill age 18). so the image is kind of wrong, however, considering in the u.s. the legal age for sex and pornography is 18, isn’t it more inappropriate that she’s dancing intimatley with several half naked men! seriouslyhow can people think it’s oh so wrong when they show “a minor’s” crotch but think it’s absolutly fine for that same “minor” to be dancing seductivly with fully grown semi naked men!
what is wrong with all of us?????????? we are wasting our lives commenting on something that we will completely forget about in a month. y dont we all just move along and do something productive with our lives instead of commenting on something that doesnt affect us in the least.
I love children.
the designer run short of materials to finish the dress..
For all you naive people out there. There is no question, Miley certainly knew that her phat little 17 year old camel toe is going to be exposed dancing in that outfit. She should get a good old fashioned spanking really for her albeit successful attempt at getting more publicity, and for being a skank. Did it work? Obviously. Remember, it isn’t indecent exposure if the nips, the anus, and the labia minora are covered. Hey, I don’t make the rules
The only question that comes to mind when I see that crotch shot is…”Gee I wonder if she takes it up the ass?”
Isn’t her 15 minutes up yet?
LOL Hugh! I dunno, does she have a tramp stamp? Then you’ll know for sure!
