Justin Timberlake Defends Miley Cyrus: "Let Her Do Her Thing" (@jtimberlake @MileyCyrus)

During a recent interview with Jim & Kim at Fresh 102.7, Justin Timberlake spoke up in defense of Miley Cyrus’ raunchy VMAs performance, amidst a lot of backlash from fellow celebrities and the general public.  Justin feels as though Miley did what many before her did at the VMAs — put on an edgy show, and he feels that the public should “let her do her thing.” He referenced Modannna and his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears putting on raunchy performances at the VMAs in the past as well.

“It’s the VMAs — what did you guys expect?  I like Miley. I like her a lot… she’s young, she’s letting everyone know she’s growing up.  It’s the VMAs. It’s not like she did it at the Grammys.  Let her do her thing.”

What are your thoughts on Miley Cyrus?

Twitter has roasted her with the #MileyAssSmallerThan hashtag, Charlamagne questioned the source behind her ratchetivity, Star called her a loser, she was dissed by a Teddy Bear organization for her choice of VMA attire, and Will Smith and his kids Jaden and Willow were caught on the audience camera at the VMAs giving a genuinely hilarious reaction to her performance.
