In yet another "isn't she too young for that" moment in the Cyrus camp, the littlest gal in the superstar family, Noah Cyrus, is the center of attention now that a video of the nine-year-old suggestively singing and dancing to Akon's sexual 'Smack That' -- as sister Miley and a circle of others watch and cheer her on -- has hit the Internet. Noah Cyrus' 'Smack That' Controversy

In yet another "isn't she too young for that" moment in the Cyrus camp, the littlest gal in the superstar family, Noah Cyrus, is the center of attention now that a video of the nine-year-old suggestively singing and dancing to Akon's sexual 'Smack That' -- as sister Miley and a circle of others watch and cheer her on -- has hit the Internet. In the video, Noah is seen standing in the center of a large circle of people, and after rallying the attention of them all, she begins performing the song that details smacking the behind of a dancing partner on the dance floor. Not one to skimp on showmanship, Noah gets literal, and begins spanking herself at one point -- with the encouragement of big sis Miley.
There's not much room for misinterpretation of the song's lyrics, as the chorus rings: "Smack that, all on the floor / Smack that, give me some more / Smack that, til you get sore / Smack that."
Gawker.com was certainly floored by the video, making a post detailing how the video is "disturbing on seven different levels," thanks to the fact that they saw Noah as she "'smacks' her buttocks, thrusts her hips, and shimmies her shoulders."
"Is it even possible to save this child from the farcically oversexed wilderness of... Disney? Hollywood? America at large?" asks Gawker writer Azaria Jagger.
This is the second time in recent months that Noah has landed herself in some controversy. Most recently, her Halloween costume drew red flags thanks to her thigh-high boots and mini-skirt with heavy facial make-up.

Reply
you are right about that, she is freaking ugly!!!!
maybe she needs a mulit like her dad had
That is a face for radio! Damn, that kid is as fugly as fugly gets! And what's worse is she is only 9 years old being allowed to bounce around like a jungle bunny...
1st off miley is not a whore, shes just a tennager trying to live her life and her dreams in order to make her family proud n her papi that died. being a teen in this day and age is hard enough but to add the preassure of the press makes it a lot harder i dont like what miley does sometimes but at least i know that NOBODY'S PERFECT as quoted by miley.
You spelled whore wrong idiot.
and i bet your just so nice and virginal and perfect aren't you
Give me a break. Miley is not a whore. If you want proof look at any girl her ages myspace, she acts the same as any other girl. Your probaly some little girl who has not accepted that some girls are prettier then others. But i will agree her sister is a very fugly person
I hate to take it to this level but damn, that is one uugly kid.
shes not as ugly as you probaly are. and her sister isnt a whore(coughs)like you
have any of you actually seen the video? It's on YouTube. Check it out. There is NOTHING wrong with it. My daughter was two and she LOVED Britney Spear's song "gimmie more"...does that make her a bad kid, or me a bad parent?
Noah's dance wasn't even suggestive or too-mature at all. People need to give it a rest. The media blows EVERYTHING out of proportion. You'd think people would realize that by now
(although I do agree that she needs to stop wearing makeup and dress like a 9 year old, not like a 21 year old)
"You're spelling whore wrong idiot" is incorrect.
It should be written: "You're spelling 'whore' incorrectly, idiot".
Good grammar and correct punctuation are, unfortunately, fading virtues.
OMG !!! And they all clapped for her ???? This little girl dont stand a chance at a normal life. Miley is alright, shes mature for her age, and seems to know whats going on around her. Some people will disagree with me on that. But a 9 year old singing about slapping that, and slaps her bottom, and the family all claps for it? I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that. I wonder if CPS has any kind of problem with this?

are you kidding me??? this 'kid' does not show any sexual anything in this video. how ridiculous! you almost fell on the floor for what? were you drunk?? wtf? there is nothing at all wrong with this video. it's just another cheap stab at miley.
I think that might be fun to copy her big sis when there home playing around but when cameras are around its not to good and her big sis didnt look that pleased .. i have daughters 14 and 12 and they may play at home. but on camera let her grow up like her sister she seemed pretty innocent till the last year or so.. so why not let her little sister have the same life. im not critizing i am not a mother of a pop star or movie star but i do wish them the best.. It for sure Hannah is gone now it miley. Just not use to the change yet .. for my girls anyway.. there no longer allowed to watch anything other then hannah montana and her new mucis no my 14 yr old yeah but my 12 yr old no. I just hope they dont let miley end up like britney spears. when they start so young it seems sometimes they get lost from missout on a childhood. Hope her the best .. and may her dad do his best to keep her under control till atleast shes eighteen dont let her virtue get bought with money shes big.. she dosent have to go to far..
look at Ms. Duff. Shes doing great and always tryed her best to carry on as a lady..
Just shut up, it's people having fun and that kid didn't do a damn thing inappropriate it's just a song she probally heard a thousand times on the radio, get a life and worry about you, OMG
I have worked with kids k-5 for three years now and seeing this video does not shock me at all. Kids these days are exposed to anything and everything sexual thanks to their older siblings, even parents, and the media. Also, the music they listen to plays a huge role as well. Watching that video is just another day at work for me. Things have changed these days and if she isn't acting like that when she is 9 she will when she is a teenager. We all need to just accept it and hope that as these kids get older they will mature and grow out of that stage. Until then, there is no use in being outraged or shocked by it and there really is not a thing you can do about it so don't blame Miley or her Billy-Ray cause what are they supposed to do?
I am sure I am going to get criticized for this, but who didn't do something like that at that age? I know I did things just like that without necessarily knowing what the song really meant. Should she have been encouraged? No, but I do think it was just a child looking for attention and not knowing what she was really saying.

When I was around her age I was saying worse things than that, and I was watching rated R films! Nowadays it's the age of the Internet (woohoo) so a lot of kids, especially if they're related to someone famous, are making videos or posting things, and they get judged as they grow and make mistakes. Once it's posted it could possibly haunt you in your future!
I have to agree. This is just the media over blowing a child having fun. Do I think these people should have been clapping for her, no but what were they suppose to do, hurt the self-esteem of a child by removing her from the group half-way through her dance and then tell her what she did was wrong???
Couldn't agree more! I danced to KC & the Sunshine Band's "Shake Your Booty" and "That's the Way I Like It" at wedding parties, etc., never realizing what the song was about. It was just fun. From all I've seen, the Cyrus family is loving & caring & the children are well-behaved & respectful, so much more so than, say, the Osborn's or the Kardashians! Leave the Cyrus family alone!
