Miley Cyrus Tweets Rant Against Urban Outfitters

Miley Cyrus Urban Outfitters twitter rant

There's no doubt that Miley Cyrus is a slave to fashion but who's one retailer that she has no tolerance for? Hipster Mecca, Urban Outfitters. After word that the chain stole a jewelry design from a lesser-known artist, Cyrus took to Twitter to let the skinny jean paradise hear her roar (via Celebuzz).

"Love that everybody is hating on Urban Outfitters," Cyrus tweeted. "Not only do they steal from artists but every time you give them money, you help finance a campaign against gay equality," she continued to tweet with the hashtag 'SHADYASHELL.'

In her Twitter rant, Cyrus sites the recent claim that Urban Outfitters jacked the design behind necklaces shaped like varying states from independent artist, Stevie Koerner, who sells her designs on Etsy.com.

"I'm very disappointed in Urban Outfitters," Koerner wrote on her blog. "I know they have stolen designs from plenty of other artists. I understand that they are a business, but it's not cool to completely rip off an independent designer's work."

But Urban Outfitters' not so flattering penchant for copying isn't the only reason they've got Cyrus up in arms. The company's CEO, Richard Hayne, has donated thousands of dollars to Pennsylvania Senator, Rick Santorum's campaign funds -- the same politician who has openly spoken against gay equality.

"'IF WE ALLOW GAY MARRIAGE NEXT THING U KNOW PEOPLE WILL BE MARRYING GOLD FISH' - Rick Santorum UO contributed $13,000 to this mans campaign," Cyrus continued to tweet.

Could Cyrus actually have an impact on the brand's revenue? Urban Outfitters' PR team better get a move on it before they find out.

GREAT. No talent and a social activist. Fade in obscurity - please.

She is used to getting her b*** kissed by all who encounter her and just can't stand it when someone declines to do so.

I used to work in a high end fashion boutique selling designer bags, shoes, and jewelry. I would then walk into Mandee, Forever21, H&M, and Payless and see the EXACT same merchandise, but super cheap and of lesser quality. What Urban is doing is nothing new, in fact that's what these types of stores are for. They provide designer looks at low prices. Plus, has she ever been to Canal Street in NYC? Vendors on Canal Street actually put designer logos on fake merchandise. At least Urban owns up to being a knock off store and doesn't pretend their merchandise is the real deal. So, Miley should really keep her mouth shut until she knows what she's talking about. Oh, and she should also stop singing because I'm pretty sure she's tone deaf.

While it is wrong to steal someone's thoughts and designs, anyone who listens to Miley Cyrus should have their heads examined.

By Dave

Emily, you are beautiful! Your goldfish didn't know how well off he was.......you flushed his a**. HEE HEE HEE! Love it. That'll teach that finned fu**head!

By calskeys

First, I saw neclaces for sale in the shape of states maybe Stevie stole the idea from them as it was about 15 years agao. And who is smiley cyrus and why would anyone care about what she thinks?

People who defend gay "rights" are usually gay themselves. Mylie, are you gay? If you are a straight and moral person, you need to be careful who you take up for. You are siding with the devil, and you need to learn about Christ, and his forgiveness. Stop ranting about Urban Outfitters and get down on your knees and ask Jesus to give you guidance. You will be amased at how light His burden is. He said it would be. And remember, He loves the homosexual, but He cannot overlook sin. That's why He went to the cross for you. Now, accept it, and be saved.

By Kelly

Actually, no, most people aren't gay who believe in equal rights for all, you homophobe lol You are a brainwashed and religious freak who Jesus (who was very liberal) would be angrier at for judging someone else than for someone being born gay. You ought to pray for YOURSELF at night that your heart be opened and your brain be unbrainwashed...But don't worry about it, when you die, you'll hear all about the hate that you spread during this lifetime and how it's way more of a sin than someone loving someone of the same sex...I bet you have those thoughts of being with other men often and they scare you to death so you attack anyone who believes in treating each person with equality and dignity. Those are the people who are known to react like you did, you closet homosexual LOL Don't be afraid of yourself lol

And I'd be "amased" if you are educated and can't spell the word "amazed". Ugh, another uneducated, ignorant and intolerant "Christian". Why am I not surprised? lol

By yon

Would she be surprised if the store filed a suit for libel? If would cost her a bloody fortune since it would have to be proven whether her accusation of theft are true or not.

LITTLE GIRL GO BACK AND PLAY WITH MICKEY AND MINNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR SUCH A FAKE!!

By David

Seems to me that there is no one that believes in the word of GOD anymore. The bible states that no man shall lie down with another man; I.E. for purposes of sex. Now, there are so many people that say whatever you do is fine. When they took religion and spanking out of schools they have said that you can do whatever you want. Now people have sex with everyone else and increase the population to an infetesimal number which the world has got to the point that it can no longer sustain everyone indefinitely. We are all living on chemicals that are man made from petroleum products.

By Mel

Why is it that if you believe marriage should be only between a man and a woman that you are labeled 'intolerant'? Seriously, if anyone is intolerant it's the liberal media and gay activists. I happen to have many gay friends who believe that marriage should be defined as a man and a woman only. Why is no one allowed to have their own opinion anymore? And Hollywierd just needs to shut up.........they are the 1% socially inept and ignorant.

By mtrsyklmn

Too bad Mel and Taz feel that way or anyone else. To steal a designers products and make them your own is wrong. Also if you cant believe all people are equal just show ignorance among the people who sit and judge others. Must be right wing religious zealots. Also Taz if youre going to type something make sure it looks like an adult did it without all those typos LOL

This individual doesn't have the age, wisdom, or experience to make any judgement calls about anyone. Her thing is trying to look as hip as possible.
