'Blurred Lines' star Robin Thicke is set for more backlash from critics, as a new magazine cover sees the star, once again, surrounded by topless women. See the cover below.
Thicke first courted controversy with his 'Blurred Lines' video, which was packed with topless women, and was more recently slammed for his performance at the MTV Video Music Awards with Miley Cyrus, which was deemed as entirely inappropriate (although Cyrus drew more criticism than Thicke).
Instead of backing away from his seeemingly sexist stance, he has embraced it again for a new issue of Treats magazine. See their front cover below.
Thicke previously told US TV programme The Today Show that the track and clip had been 'misconstrued' and were actually 'a feminist movement'.
"When we made the song, we had nothing but the most respect for women and — my wife, I've been with the same woman since I was a teenager," said Thicke. "So for us, we were just trying to make a funny song and sometimes the lyrics get misconstrued when you're just trying to put people on the dance floor and have a good time, but we had no idea it would stir this much controversy. We only had the best intentions."
He continued: "It's supposed to stir conversation, it's supposed to make us talk about what's important and what the relationship between men and women is, but if you listen to the lyrics it says 'That man is not your maker' — it's actually a feminist movement within itself."
