Miley Cyrus gets relief from controversial race photo lawsuit

Washington, Nov 21 (ANI): Miley Cyrus has won a court battle over a racially insensitive photo, for which she posed earlier this year (09).
A judge has dismissed a 4-billion-dollar lawsuit filed against her by a member of the Asian community in Los Angeles.
Lucie Kim sued the ‘Hannah Montana’ star on behalf of L.A.’s Asian citizens after a picture of the singer and her pals making a “slanty eyes” gesture surfaced online in February (09), reports Contactmusic.
Kim alleged that the photo showed Cyrus and her pals mocking Asians and insisted she was emotionally stressed after viewing the snap.
While Cyrus did apologise, Kim pressed ahead with plans to file suit, reports Contactmusic.
During a hearing in June (09), Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Hess claimed Cyrus’ behaviour was “immature and childish”.
But he admitted 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.
But, she is considering appealing the ruling, reports TMZ.com. (ANI)
