Published 18th Sep 2013

Pink has hit out at Miley Cyrus’s controversial MTV VMAs performance last month calling it “tacky.”

The pop-rocker expressed her frustration at the “freaking talented” Miley’s shock antics saying she is “cheating herself”.

Wearing a skin coloured bikini, Miley sexually suggestively twerked with Robin Thicke at the Brooklyn Center ceremony while sticking her tongue out.

Speaking to E! Online this week, Pink said: "Am I into it? No, I think it's tacky."

Justifying her comments, Pink added: "She's really freaking talented. She's beautiful. She can sing her ass off and to go up there and do that?

“She's cheating herself and she's cheating the rest of us…She can do what she wants. People can like it if they want. I'm not going to buy it. She can do better. I've seen her do better."

Pink, under her real name Alecia Moore, was being interviewed to promote the movie Thanks for Sharing which she stars in alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim Robbins and Mark Ruffalo.
