If Miley Cyrus’ new ultra-sexy style is attempt to break away from her squeaky clean Hannah Montana persona, it has also succeeded in alienating her fans.
Teenage girls, the very crowd whose support made Cyrus an industry heavyweight, have voted the singer/actress as the worst celebrity role model for young girls. Cyrus had already topped the poll last year, retained her dubious crown with bouts of outrageous behaviour in 2010. According to the Daily Mail, she beat Lindsay Lohan and Demi Lovato to the title, this despite the fact that both were in rehab last year.
The poll, run by AOL website Just So You Know, recorded votes by girls aged between nine and 15. Cyrus garned 58% of the 99 000 recorded votes, leaving controversial rapper Kanye West, aggressive Teen Mom star Amber Portwood, and Gossip Girl actor Chace Crawford firmly in her wake. Crawford was recently arrested for possession of marijuana.
The poll comes a month after Cyrus was snapped smoking a bong containing a drug called salvia. Though not illegal, it is listed as a “drug of concern” by the US Drug Enforcement Agency.
Desperate to shed her good girl image, Cyrus has taken to wearing next-to-nothing in public, toying with her inner stripper in nightclubs, driking when overseas despite being under the legal limit in the US, and talking on her cell while driving.
Then, on her 18th birthday in November, she was seen sprawled over the top of a bar at a Hollywood nightclub, locked in a very passionate embrace with a teen co-star.
