Cyrus wins dismissal in photo case

Miley Cyrus gets a clean chit in a photo case.

Teen star Miley Cyrus has been given a clean chit in a court case over an alleged racially insensitive photo she posed for earlier this year.

The judge has thrown out a USD 4 billion lawsuit filed against her by a member of the Asian community here.

The ‘Hannah Montana’ star was sued by Lucie Kim on behalf of LA’s Asian citizens after a picture of the singer and her pals making a “slanty eyes” gesture surfaced online in February,celebrity website TMZ.com reported.

Kim claimed the photo showed Cyrus and her friends mocking the Asians and insisted that she was emotionally stressed after viewing the snap.

Cyrus later apologised but Kim pressed ahead with plans to file suit.

During a hearing in June,Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Hess claimed Cyrus’ behaviour was “immature and childish”,but added that he had “grave doubts” Kim would be able to prove her contention that the singer is a “business establishment” and therefore obliged not to act in such a manner publicly.

Kim lost her bid for compensation from the 17-year-old on Friday when Hess dismissed the case altogether. She is considering appealing the ruling.
