Los Angeles woman claims to represent one million Asian-Americans

LOS ANGELES - The uproar over the Miley Cyrus photo that some Asian groups have deemed offensive has spilled over to the courtroom.

According to court documents obtained by Access Hollywood, a Los Angeles woman is suing Miley over the photograph — for an amount that could add up to over $4 billion.

According to court documents, Lucie J. Kim, who brought the suit against the pop star, claims to represent over 1 million people of Asian Pacific Islander descent in the Los Angeles area. Kim claims that she and others are victims "of [Cyrus’] discriminatory acts.”

The photo in question, which surfaced online last week, shows Cyrus with a group of friends, including boyfriend Justin Gaston, slanting their eyes and squinting at the camera. The teen queen initially called the photo uproar “something out of nothing,” and said she was “simply making a goofy face.”

On Monday, Cyrus addressed the controversial photo again on her official fansite, saying,” I really wanted to stress how sorry I am if the photo of me with my friends offended anyone.”

In the suit filed in LA County Superior Court, Kim claims that each Asian Pacific Islander in L.A. County, which the suit approximates to be around 1 million, is entitled to a minimum of $4,000 for a civil-rights violation stemming from the photograph. The damages could exceed $4 billion.

Kim goes on to claim that Cyrus “knew or should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life.”

The suit goes on to allege that the star “had actual knowledge that her conduct was in fact a form of racism, prejudice and mockery of the physical attributes of Asian Pacific Islanders.”

Reps for Cyrus could not be reached for comment.

It'll be thrown out of court. The woman sounds like a chancer, not that I'm defending Miley Cyrus.

[Matt]

Some people are so stupid.

Okay, the photo may potentially be offensive to Asian people, but it doesn't warrant a $4billion lawsuit. Like Dezzy said, I expect it'll be thrown out of court.

4 Billion? You don't even get charged that much for compensating murder! What a stupid story. I still do that with my eyes! If the chinese/japanese find that offensive then they need to get over it, talk about self conscious issues.

[xDramatick]

That's ridiculous, Miley said herself that it's a personal picture where she just pulled a goofy face without any offense intended.
Poor Miley, I <3 her.

[Lewis.]

What a ridiculous reason to get 4 billion pounds out of someone? Everyone pullls goofy faces? God!

[Twilight]

Oh come on i still make that face,its just a goofy face if i do that face it don't mean i hate chinese or japanese people.

[Chri$]

Its ridiculous.

She can't do anything without getting judged.

$4 Billion is just stupid. I think even $1 Million is stupid.

I can go and search Google and fine multiple photo's of people slanting there eyes but Miley gets picked because "She's just being Miley".

I Miley!

[Spike]

Its so ridiculous. People have took something which didn't intentionally offend anyone too far.

She wasn't being racist. She was being young and pulled a goofy face. HELL - She may have even had a drink - what a CRIME!
