Miley Cyrus has called out critics over her controversial and highly-publicised performance with Robin Thicke at last month's VMA Awards, arguing that Breaking Bad is much worse than her 'twerking'. Watch the stars of the hit US TV show reacting to her performance above. 

The 'Wrecking Ball' star made headlines with another stunt this week, appearing naked on the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stone. In that interview, Miley called out the hypocritical nature of censorship in America and says that the explicit violence and drug use in Breaking Bad is far more controversial than her dancing at the VMAs.

"America is just so weird in what they think is right and wrong," said Cyrus. "Like, I was watching Breaking Bad the other day, and they were cooking meth. I could literally cook meth because of that show. It's a how-to. And then they bleeped out the word 'fuck'. And I'm like, really? They killed a guy, and disintegrated his body in acid, but you're not allowed to say 'fuck'?"

She continued: "It's like when they bleeped 'molly' at the VMAs. Look what I'm doing up here right now, and you're going to bleep out 'molly'? Whatever."

In the in-depth and colourful interview, Cyrus also explained her thinking behind the VMA performance, insisting that she 'wasn't racist' and can do much, much better. 

"I wasn't trying to be sexy," said Miley. "If I was trying to be sexy, I could have been sexy. I can dance a lot better than I was dancing."

She continued: "People are like, 'Miley thinks she's a black girl, but she's got the flattest ass ever,'" she says. "I'm like, I'm 108 pounds! I know! Now people expect me to come out and twerk with my tongue out all the time. I'll probably never do that shit again."

Her new album, Bangerz will be released on 8 October.
