Already accused of racism for Twerking with a fake giant butt adorned to her rear end, Miley Cyrus could now face legal charges for doing the same act in concert on Tuesday.

Because she tossed in the addition of a spanking by the Mexican flag on stage.

During one point in the artist’s Monterrey show – which took place on Mexico’s Independence Day – Miley once again donned a prosthetic butt. Her backup dancers then whipped her behind with the flag.

You can see the scandalous act take place here:

As a result, Cyrus being investigated by government officials, as the nation has laws protecting “national emblems, the flag and the national anthem.”

Francisco Trevino Cabello, a member of of the conservative National Action Party, has already come out accused the pop star of “desecration.”

 

Punishment for actions deemed disrespectful of the flag in Mexico include fines and up to 36 hours in prison.

Oh, yes, Miley. It’s one thing to be all weird and eccentric and rep your dead dog on stage. It’s another to take a figurative crap all over another country’s main symbol.

Will Cyrus end up in jail? We doubt it.

In 2007, however, singer Paulina Rubio was reportedly fined $4,000 for appearing in a magazine with the Mexican flag draped around her naked body.

Last year, if you’ll recall, citizens of Argentina were outraged after Justin Bieber appeared to kick the country’s flag away during a concert, though the issue died down after he made an apology.

We won’t hold out breath for one from Miley, however. She takes pride in pushing boundaries, acting all independent and, of course, not being tamed.

That’s fine, of course. To an extent. But she should still be mindful of other nations, their laws and their customs. You’re better than this, Miles.
