NOVEMBER 10, 2013 Miley Cyrus smoked a joint while accepting her Best Video award

NOVEMBER 10, 2013 – At the MTV Europe Awards, Miley Cyrus smoked a joint while accepting her Best Video award for “Wrecking Ball.” The ceremony is held in Amsterdam, so it wasn’t illegal. During an interview with U.K’s Capital FM radio, Cyrus, who also sported ear buds with pot leaves on them during her performance, admitted that the “puff heard round the world,” happened in the spur of the moment.
“I was just walking out of my room and then I was like ‘Oh I have this in my bag, that will be really funny,” Cyrus said. “And I didn’t say anything to anybody — it’s not that I think about that and I don’t tell anyone I’m gonna do it.”
She continued, “Some people I think overthink stuff so much — that’s not why I do it. I just did it mostly because I knew the fans in Amsterdam would love it and they started going crazy when I did it, so I knew the whole place would go super wild.” And go wild it did. Cyrus finished smoking the joint following the awards show and tweeted the day after the MTV EMA: “sometimes in life you just gotta decide to not give AF.” 
It’s a motto she’s sticking with. “I don’t care what the media says because I don’t Google myself,” Cyrus said. “So I don’t know what they say and I don’t care because it’s a bunch of people that maybe one time in their life they dreamt about being a journalist and then they became what they are.”
