Morning Joe: Miley Cyrus 'Disturbed'

UPDATE TUESDAY 08/27/2013 10AM:

Following up on her stinging rebuke of Miley Cyrus’ VMA performance, Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski castigated MTV and the media for using phony discussions about the meaning or morality of the controversial performance as a ruse to continually replay the video, according to Mediaite.

“I think there’s a couple of things going on here,” Brzezinski said. “First of all, I think that she’s clearly an extremely disturbed young woman. The people around her making money off her are morally bankrupt, if not worse. MTV should be ashamed of themselves. All of us in the media, we are adults and we know right from wrong. We don’t need to cover this story, to put the video up and ask the question and hide behind the question so we can show the video and make money off of it. It’s wrong what happened. That was disgusting. It was really bad for our children. It was way over the line and everybody should say it and no one should show it.”

Mika Brzezinski, co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, is steaming mad at Miley Cyrus for her raunchy, twerk-festering VMA performance. So mad, that she hijacked the talk show’s opening minutes to spew a diatribe of the former Hannah Montana star, calling her among other things, ‘sick’ and ‘disturbed.’

Entertainment Weekly reports, while her co-hosts tried to steer the dialogue towards a general discussion of fallen Disney stars, Brzezinski wouldn’t let off her Miley-milieu:

“I wouldn’t make a joke out of it actually. That was really, really disturbing. That young lady, who is 20, is obviously deeply troubled, deeply disturbed, clearly has confidence issues, probably an eating disorder, and I don’t think anybody should have put her onstage. That was disgusting and embarrassing,” she added.

And in case viewers really needed to be banged over their heads with her point: ”The whole thing was cringe-worthy, but I feel bad for her. She is a mess. Someone needs to take care of her. Someone needs not to put her onstage and make a complete fool of herself,” Brzezinski went on.

And on: ”It was pathetic, desperate, sick. She’s clearly disturbed that she needs to do that. And if I can just be very honest after having studied this for a lot of reasons, she doesn’t look healthy.”
