While many found Miley Cyrus's 2013 VMAs performance with Robin Thicke distasteful and even offensive, conservative talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger took her disgust to a whole new level, resorting to calling the singer a "nasty little pig" on her Sirius XM show, Radar Online reports.
"There is a place for the Miley Cyrus' of this world...and it's in whorehouses and bars! And if you are a parent who takes your kids to see her, you are a moron and you should lose your parental rights!," Schlessinger ranted while on the air.
In 2010, the talk show host made the decision to depart from the radio after repeatedly using the n-word while discussing racial issues with one of her callers. Now the 66-year old host is back on the air, and this time she's targeting 20-year old Miley Cyrus and her provocative VMAs performance with Robin Thicke, where the star gyrated on the "Blurred Lines" singer and simulated masturbation using a giant foam finger.
While many have called out the singer for appopriating aspects of black culture, including Cyrus's good friend Hayley Williams of Paramore, others have defended the performance as all in good fun, claiming that Cyrus didn't mean for any of it to be taken so seriously. It certainly did do the job of getting everyone talking about her just in time for the release of her latest single "Wrecking Ball" off of her upcoming album, "Bangerz."
However, Schlessinger had a different view, calling the star a "piece of scum" and criticizing Cyrus for acting so raunchy in front of millions of her young fans.
"Unlike Madonna who plays to adults, Miley positions herself with kids and any parent who takes their kid to a Cyrus concert should lose custody of their children," said the talk show host, who even included Cyrus's fiance Liam Hemsworth in her verbal attack.
"No decent family would want their son to marry a girl like Miley. Are you listening Mr. and Mrs. Hemsworth?" Schlessinger said.
Miley Cyrus, however, has said before that she isn't concerned about alienating her younger fanbase with her adult new image.
"Everyone has to work on the things that they don't care about to get where they want to be," Cyrus told the The Sun in July. ''I had to do that for five years but I knew when I was older I would be able to do what I wanted eventually."
