Miley Cyrus naked ‘Wrecking Ball’ music video: The 3 major insights you might want to know while watching Miley Cyrus swinging naked on a wrecking ball and ‘pleasuring a sledgehammer’


Miley Cyrus is getting tons of feedback about her naked “Wrecking Ball” music video which debuted on Monday. Below are three major insights that are noteworthy.

1. The man behind Miley Cyrus' naked "Wrecking Ball" music video: 

Fox News points out that the director of the Miley Cyrus' “Wrecking Ball” music video has a “checkered past.” 

Terry Richardson, who produced Miley Cyrus’ nude “Wrecking Ball” video, came under fire back in 2010 and had to face accusations that he acted inappropriately with young models, prompting them to take their clothes off in his presence. Among young models, Terry Richardson is known for his “working style” with women. His representatives decline to comment.

After the naked “Wrecking Ball" shoot, Terry Richardson  tweeted a photo of himself “hugging a robe-clad Miley Cyrus.” He also posted a series of pictures of the starlet smoking, cutting her hair and even eating a salad. Cyrus retweeted one of the photos of herself posing with Richardson.


2. Why Miley Cyrus would do a music video like "Wrecking Ball" or a VMA twerking dance: 

The Guardian agrees with Fox News that Terry Richardson, the director of “Wrecking Ball” is “repulsive."

“A man whose work gives the impression that he looks at a woman and can't help seeing a blow-up sex doll – as director.” 

Apart from the director issue, the author of the Guardian’s article, whose 13-year-old daughter used to be a Miley Cyrus fan when she was Hannah Montana, is expressing his concern about how a teen star breaks into being an adult star. By being over the top sexy?

The Guardian's analysis does not only fit Miley Cyrus' naked "Wrecking Ball" music video but also her most recent VMA twerking performance

Last but not least, the Guardian highlights some of the scenes that do not involve Miley Cyrus swinging naked on the wrecking ball. “Miley orally pleasuring a sledgehammer! Yes, you can watch – of all the sights in the world – Miley Cyrus simulating fellatio on something you'd find in a garden shed. What next? Selena Gomez giving a handjob to a strimmer?”


3. The reward -- for fame and money: 

Quite interestingly, CBS News presents non-judgmental facts about Miley Cyrus’ naked “Wrecking Ball” music video. 

“The singer's 'Wrecking Ball' which debuted Monday, has earned the most views on Vevo in a 24-hour period. As of this writing, the Terry Richardson-directed video has racked up more than 17 million views. ‘Wrecking Ball’ is the second single off Cyrus' upcoming album, 'Bangerz,' due out Oct. 8. Earlier that week, on Oct. 5, she'll be both the host and musical guest on ‘Saturday Night Live’."

What a way to promote a new album! 

Other than stats, CBS News doesn’t provide much of an insight into Miley Cyrus naked “Wrecking Ball” video – but the readers’ comments under the article do.

As one reader wrote, “And to think the median age of those that viewed her video WAS 7 years old, now that is REMARKABLE !”


And the point of view from our JTNews19 writers:

What makes writing about Miley Cyrus interesting is not the fact that she is a celebrity but the fact that she is a symbol of several generations and a symbol of a changing time.
