Judge dismisses Miley Cyrus ’slant eyes’ suit
A Los Angeles judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit against Miley Cyrus which accused the teen icon of discriminating against Asians after she was photographed making “slant eyes.”
Lucie Kim sued the “Hannah Montana” star in February after a photo emerged of Cyrus and friends slanting their eyes, supposedly trying to make themselves appear Asian, according to court papers.
Kim’s lawyer sued Cyrus, 16, under a statute that prohibits businesses from discriminating against minorities.
Kim claimed the Disney star “should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which focuses on her private life.”
