A woman from Los Angeles has filed a class action suit against Miley Cyrus, claiming she mocked Asians in a recent photo by slanting her eyes. Price tag: $4 billion.

TMZ report that Lucie J. Kim claims to represent more than 1 million Asian Pacific Islanders who live in L.A. County. Kim claims when Cyrus posed for the photo, she “knew or should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life.”

Kim says in the suit, filed  in L.A. County Superior Court, that each Asian Pacific Islander is entitled to the minimum damages for a civil rights violation — $4,000. Add it up — $4 billion dollars! Ouch!

Do you think the suit will proceed? I mean the picture it’s a so big offense to asian people? I have asian friends and some don’t like the picture, other don’t care, but a suit?

Our dearest Miley Cyrus it’s on a new scandal (again?), for a funny picture with her friends and making a slant eyes gesture!

Some people are very angry because say that is a racist gesture, considered degrading to Asian people.

Other people think the picture it`s just a funny picture with young teenagers.

In the meanwhile Miley Cyrus apologize (or justify the attitude) on her official fan website:

“I’ve also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! Well, I’m sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context!”

“In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy face. When did that become newsworthy?” she adds. “It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing to me. If that would of [sic] been anyone else, it would of been overlooked! I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new ‘BAD GIRL’!”
