Miley Cyrus Blames Mom Tish for 2009 Pole Dance Controversy
Miley Cyrus has attributed her controversial pole dance performance at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards to her mother, Tish Cyrus. During a guest appearance on Spotify's Billions Club series, Miley revealed that the idea for the performance came from her mom, who later let her take the blame for the backlash. The performance, which featured her hit song "Party in the USA," was memorable for Miley as it was the first time she wore real diamond jewelry on stage.
