Dancing Teddy Bear Claims Dancing For Miley Cyrus Is “Degrading”

Do you remember a pink teddy bear twerking all over the stage during Miley Cyrus’ Video Music Awards performance? Well, the person behind the costume is speaking out and she is ashamed.

Hollis Jane is a little person who has performed with Miley on stage multiple times in the past few months, but she can no longer take the embarrassment.

She wrote the following in her blog,

“I will be the first one to tell you that standing on that stage, in that costume was one of the most degrading things I could ever do. I realize not everyone shares my opinion and I might just be young and naive, but I feel like the acceptance of this kind of treatment has got to stop.

For decades, little people have not been taken seriously and we still continue to not be. I had never been in a performance where I was purely meant to be gawked or laughed at. I will never forget that performance because it is what forced me to draw my personal line in the sand.”

Hollis claims the only reason she continued to dance on stage was because she needed to get her computer and car fixed. She doesn’t seem to have any plans to go back to dancing on stage.

However, we all know she will the next time she needs a little of extra money. I think it’s a bit silly for her to complain about something like this when she did it multiple times! You sold yourself out for money, and now you want to complain about it and talk about how unfair it is? Give me a break.

We all have to do things we don’t want to do in life. It’s the only way to get to where you want to be.
