Judge rules: Miley Cyrus is not racist (controversial Asian photo story update)
Judge rules: Miley Cyrus is not racist!

As of today, Miley Cyrus is not racist (not that she ever really was). According to TMZ, a judge dismissed a lawsuit involving Miley Cyrus and controversial Asian photo.

In the party photo, Miley Cyrus had slanted her eyes. Lucie Kim of Los Angeles had sued her for $4 billion, claiming that the gesture had been offensive towards Asians.
...

What Miley Cyrus does in a photo with her friends is really none of our business. She's a young girl who made a silly gesture in front of a camera--no more than that.

1. Does Lucie Kim even KNOW Miley Cyrus?
and is there any reason to think that it would be possible for Miley Cyrus to pay such damages if awarded by a jury?

:crazy:
