FCC Receives Just 4 Miley Cyrus Complaints

Although TMZ has reported that the FCC received a "slew" of complaints about the poorly-rated concert special Miley Cyrus: Bangerz Tour, which aired on NBC over the July 4th weekend, the agency tells Rolling Stone it has received only four. Currently, the FCC is determining whether the program indeed violated any of its indecency and profanity rules.

Cyrus filmed the show, which was toned down from her usual exploits on the road, earlier this year at her Bangerz stops in Barcelona and Lisbon, incorporating behind-the-scenes footage that showed her doing far-from-shocking things like hanging out with her sister backstage and singing a Dolly Parton song.

Clips from the show reveal that, while onstage, Cyrus wore a skin-tight unitard with a hoodie – as opposed to the nudity of her "Wrecking Ball" video – and, at one point, dressed one of her backup dancers like a blunt and others like cigarette lighters. For "Get it Right" the singer snuggled up to several men and women in a giant bed. During one song, Cyrus also danced suggestively with somebody who was dressed like Abraham Lincoln, which prompted one complaint.

Although the Freedom of Information Act revealed the contents of three of the four FCC complaints, it presented an interesting look at what upset a handful of people about Bangerz, from one person feeling uncomfortable with the suggested homosexuality of the bed scene to another saying "F-no" to what he or she felt was an XXX performance all around.
