Miley Cyrus jokes about date rape: ‘Everyone’s gay. All it takes is one cocktail’

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus did a “surprise” gig at London’s G-A-Y club on Friday night. She licked a giant blow-up replica of a male appendage because she’s Miley. At least she wasn’t chewing on someone’s thong. She wonders why she gets sick so often after doing stuff like this.

Miley did her usual twerking in ultra-skimpy clothing throughout the evening. She paused her show to present a birthday cake to her BFF/assistant/enabler, Cheyne Thomas. The cake was shaped like a p-nis. Miley told everyone that Cheyne wouldn’t dig the cake because he’s straight — even though Miley thinks he’s “a little bit gay.” She went on to make a really tasteless joke about date rape. According to Miley, everyone is one roofie away from going gay. TMZ has coverage of Miley’s awful, no-good speech:

“He’s straight but I said that for years too, and finally it gets easier. You know, everyone’s a little bit gay. Some of us just a little bit more than others. You know, it’s the truth. Everyone’s gay. All it takes is one cocktail. And if that doesn’t work, sprinkle something in their drink. That’s what I always do.”

[From TMZ]

My (legitimately) gay boyfriend and I were talking about this, and he thinks this is the most offensive topic that Miley could have joked about. He does concede that she was looking for attention and thought she needed to be outrageous at this venue. Then we both decided that we give Miley too many breaks. There’s nothing funny about rape.

I do feel bad for Cheyne having his birthday celebrations turned into a date-rape punchline. I did assume he was gay but only because he and Miley are always huggy, and Liam Hemsworth never had a problem with it. But Cheyne is straight, and Miley gave her straight friend a p-nis-shaped birthday cake. Onstage and in front of hundreds of people. In TMZ’s video, Cheyne takes the joke in stride. Then again, this is a guy who made a joke video about Demi Lovato’s coke addiction. If Chenye was offended by Miley’s “outrageous” antics, he covered it up well. Poor Cheyne.

P.S. This isn’t the first time Miley gave a p-nis cake to someone.

    Idiot!!

    • Steph says:

      Exactly, this is coming from someone who is not only protected by guards so she never has to worry about anything, but protected by the “yes” bubble that comes from her job as a performer.

    • paul says:

      yep! he is a fruit cake

    • Camille (The Original) says:

      First time I have ever agreed with you Cecilia. I guess there is a first time for everything huh ;).

  2. Dani2 says:

    This is low, even for her, she should know better.

  3. Tiffany says:

    Those few weeks in the hospital were a blessing to all weren’t they. Jeez.

  4. Side-Eye says:

    Yes, Miley, let’s taunt male victims, as if that weren’t already an issue that so many people think is a joke.

  5. Oceansoul89 says:

    I can’t even…

  6. louise sawyer says:

    Sorry, but she’s just an a-hole.
    And I bet she didn’t even do it for attention.
    In my opinion she’s just an insensitive idiot.
    That’s all.

  7. birdie says:

    I know the saying: What is the difference between a straight guy and a gay guy? 3 beers.
    But that roofie talk is stupid and shows you that she doesn’t think it through.

  8. Jayna says:

    She’s hit an all-time low, hasn’t she? Unbelievable.

    • Amelia says:

      It’s certainly up there – or is that ‘down there’? – with the worst of them.
      I think this calls for a hearty BALLS.

  9. Mel M says:

    I don’t find her interesting or entertaining at all, just like I never found the show “jackass” interesting or entertaining. She’s a mediocre talent that pulls outrageous stunts to keep people attention. Anyone could pull the crap she pulls, she’s nothing special. She sounds like a typical clueless young person who thinks they know everything, I remember being there.

  10. GiGi says:

    Well, she’s no comedian. Artistic license aside… what is her problem? My drink was drugged once and (thank god) I was able to make it the two blocks home (literally crawling on the sidewalk) before anything happened to me. I know some people joke about anything, but I’ve not heard many joke about drugging/date rape.

    Also – because she put this in a gay context at a really pivotal time for LGBTQ rights it’s just – awful. Because I’m sure what gay people want is more hysteria, not less, as they’re finally gaining recognition as full citizens in this country.

    • Original Lee says:

      This! LGBT rights are already trivialized as is – considering Miley is so called all for equality (remember her equal tattoo?) this is incredibly insensitive and belittles the equality cause.

      Broad question: does anyone find rape jokes funny? Maybe my perception is skewed because I volunteered for four years at a women’s shelter and have seen rape survivors come in, fresh from assault (obviously men are survivors of rape / sexual assault, but me being at a women’s shelter…), but I just never found anything humorous about rape or sexual assault.

      The only thing I can think of is she is privileged enough to assume she will never be sexually assaulted. Therefore, she makes jokes about it because she is “safe”

      • kri says:

        FFS!! Yes, a few roofies will solve any problem in Miley’s world! That person who shows no interest in you? Just DRUG them, and do what you want. It ain’t rape if they ain’t awake to say no, y’all!! Seriously, “tasteless joke” isn’t even close. Her offensive bullshit schtick is wearing very thin. Please shove that inflatable penis in your mouth and never take it out again.

    • JudyK says:

      Well said–all of your points.

      “Sprinkle something in their drink.” Are you kidding me? That’s exactly what happened to me a number of years ago when I excused myself to go to the bathroom and had a full glass of wine when I returned. I was given the date rape drug, too, and became unconscious a short time later.

      Miley should be arrested on charges of utter stupidity.

  11. Tess says:

    This is so tasteless and offensive, and she should really know better. As someone who was sexually assaulted this year while intoxicated, by a “friend”, I find it especially offensive how she brushed off the issue of consent. Maybe she doesn’t know better, maybe she doesn’t think it’s a big deal. I disagree, and it is a big deal. Rape and sexual assault victims are already stigmatized enough without stupid assholes like this making light of a serious issue.

    • Nighty says:

      I’m sorry for what happened to you… It takes a lot of courage to speak about it even if it is anonymously here… You seem like a strong person and I hope you’ll be able to overcome it.. (What does one say? Having trouble finding the correct words) .. Courage!!

    • starrywonder says:

      I am sorry that happened to you and yes she needs to shut up. I was assaulted by a good “friend” years ago and he had the nerve to act like I was being a baby afterwards by crying. Miley needs to shut the hell up.

    • Anne tommy says:

      Totally agree.

  12. maybeiamcrazy says:

    She probably doesn’t even notice why what she is saying is offensive. I feel sorry for her sometimes. In Hollywood where all molestation cases are disregarded, it would not suprise me that having sex on roofies and sexually assaulting people is normalized.

  13. Shiksa Goddess says:

    It was cute when Honey Boo-Boo Child whatever her name is said “everybody’s a little gay”, but Miley took it to a whole new offensive level.

  14. me says:

    I find her outfits so gross. She is a very pretty girl. I don’t understand why she decided to dress so trashy. Just a few years ago this girl was wearing a purity ring and talking about Jesus lol…so hard to believe she went from one extreme to the next. I guess a “happy medium” wouldn’t have sold as many records. Are we really supposed to believe this is the REAL Miley? In a few years she’ll have a whole new image. Look how many times Madonna has done this.

  15. Evyn says:

    I think calling her comment a joke about date rape is a bit much, especially since the words “date” and “rape” weren’t even in her comment. A lot of people use alcohol /drugs to “loosen up”, or have a good time. But that’s a far cry from intentionally getting someone semi-conscious and raping them.

    FYI, you don’t always need alcohol or drugs to commit date rape.

    • Mia4S says:

      Sorry no, what else does “if that doesn’t work, sprinkle something in their drink… ” mean. What’s she talking about? Nutmeg?

      Although given that she’s shown herself to be a useless, derivative, airhead it’s quite possible she wouldn’t have the brain power to make the connection to what she’s saying.

      • Evyn says:

        @MIA4S

        I agree she probably doesn’t realize what she is saying, but accusing her of talking about raping someone is a bit much.
        The media has taken her comment to the 10th level just to get hits on their links.

    • fairyvexed says:

      So if I don’t say “bank robbery” but walk into a bank with a gun and a ski mask and demand money, I can’t be accused of it?

  16. dorothy says:

    She’s just so trashy. Not even sure why she wears clothes on stage at all. Is she a singer or just a cheap stripper? I can’t tell anymore.

  17. TheOneandOnlyOnly says:

    I agree mel m; She’s a talentless narcissistic idiot – I can’t believe people pay to see her schtick – the concept of talent is apparently lost on some young people – thank God for youtube where the great music from the past lives on. And why does the media continue to give her a forum to spew nonsense?

  18. JudyK says:

    She doesn’t have even a 2-digit I.Q. does she.

  19. Merritt says:

    She is one of the few celebrities that I truly hate. She is just a horrible person. With the ratchet nonsense, the annoying tongue, the asinine comments about race, the constant attempts to be shocking and edgy, and now this. She just needs to go away and never come back.

  20. paranormalgirl says:

    She’s such an ass. I just can’t with this girl. In my practice, I run across people who have been drugged and raped and the amount of time and therapy it sometimes takes to get past the “I should have known better” stage is tremendous. For this little jackass to make a joke of it…. Screw her.

    • Kiddo says:

      She’s edgy, cool and Hi-larious, doncha know? People who have to talk about sex all the time are probably having little of it most of the time. Her stage persona of sexiness clearly isn’t selling on its own, so she has add gimmicks and soundbites.

  21. littlemissnaughty says:

    Dude. Noooo.

    What IS it with these young women??? Miley, the sunny vag girl, Katy Perry …. ugh. Why are they so incredibly stupid and uneducated? To think that girls try to emulate that or look up to it makes me so angry.

  22. Kiki says:

    I apologize because I seriously didn’t understand her remark. How is it related to date rape?

    • Trillion says:

      “Sprinkling something” (drugs, such as Rohyphenol or “roofie”) in one’s drink is a tactic used by rapists to render their victims (“dates”) unable to consent/fight back.

    • Kori says:

      It was because many rapists slip something into someone’s drink (ie ‘roofie’ them) in order to assault them. It’s often associated with date rape because you may be out on a date with someone when they do this but it’s happened to people in bars as well–where a stranger they aren’t with strikes up a conversation and manages to slip something in your drink, then takes their victim somewhere to attack them. A friend of mine had this happen to her sister–the sister was at a club/bar and someone spiked her drink and raped her. She took the precautions (ie not accepting a drink from someone she didn’t know) but it turned out later that one of the bartenders was in on it with the guy (he handed her the spiked drink) and they had a rape circle going. Horrible. 🙁

      • Trillion says:

        Ugh. People disgust me. I’m so sad this happens.

      • Nighty says:

        Sorry for your friend’s sister… It’s horrible when these things happen.. should never happen, ever…..

  23. Hissyfit says:

    She’s gross.

  24. mellie says:

    Oh my God she’s so dumb…just a complete waste of gray matter.

  25. feebee says:

    Not only is she joking about date rape… but does she go so far as to joke about being a date rapist? “That’s what I always do”?

    As with Beiber, when it comes to Miley Cyrus, it’s just a NO, especially for my tween girls. No excuse or explanation, it’s just no. There are many choices for entertainment and youthful adoration of performers, and it’s these displays of stupidity at its finest that make it so easy to just say no.

  26. G. says:

    Because all gay people are predatory according to Miley. Ugh.

    Here’s a tip: if someone has to be intoxicated in order to perform gay acts, they probably aren’t gay. And if you purposely get someone intoxicated to perform ANY sort of sexual act on them, you’re disgusting.

  27. LaurieH says:

    What a twat. Nevermind that date rape jokes are never funny – EVER – but Her little gayness soliloquy and the penis cake to her straight friend tells us everything we need to know about the way Miley regards being gay. Apparently, to her, homosexuality is nothing more that drugged-fueled debauchery and that if you’re straight, it’s only because you’re not high enough (ergo, all gay people are just high/stoned/drunk/drugged). In one fell swoop she showed her ignorance and tastelessness – as if we needed yet another example from her.

  28. grabbyhands says:

    I can’t wait for the inevitable “I was misquoted, taken out on context, I’m sorry if you were offended” non apology BS comes spewing out of her moth or her Twitter feed. Anyone defending this needs to take a whole stadium full of seats.

  29. Emily C. says:

    I’m done with her. She’s just another entitled, stupid, self-absorbed, heartless celebrity who was ruined by being famous as a child. Next.

  30. Lucy2 says:

    Someone needs to sit this idiot down in a shelter or victims support group so she can see the reality of what she is “joking” about.

  31. serena says:

    I’m not Miley’s apologist but I think she meant that some (shallow)people like her get touchy/kissy/whatever with the same sex, when they drink too much, even though they aren’t gay.

    Having said that, she needs to watch her mouth (and hopefully grown up? One can just dream..). Not funny at all, she’s an idiot.

  32. Lauraq says:

    I don’t get why early twenty somethings think penis shaped/themed things are so funny (I wasn’t like that at that age, but SO MANY ARE). They seem to think that making penis jokes makes them look older and sophisticated, when it just shows they’re still inexperienced.
    One of the first things I did when I got engaged was make my maid of honor promise no penis anything at my bachelorette party.
    And jokes about date rape are rarely funny, but Sublime had a song about it and no one cared.
