Cyrus, wearing a flesh-colored bra and panties, simulated sex, stuck her tongue out lasciviously, and stroked Thicke’s crotch with a foam finger onstage. Many viewers cried foul but Cyrus couldn’t care less, and went on to other boundary-pushing antics, such as smoking a joint onstage and twerking Santa Claus!

The former Teen Mom claimed it was a “personal” sex tape that was leaked, but the truth came out that Abraham did the dirty to make millions and stay in the spotlight.
