Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton is once again facing controversy after posting a picture of Miley Cyrus supposedly not wearing any underwear, Popeater.com reported on June 17. The ‘Hannah Montana’ star was shot getting out of a car wearing a dress, and Hilton said on his website that she wasn’t wearing anything underneath.

Hilton may face legal consequences for posting the picture, whether or not Cyrus really was wearing underwear. Lawyers are saying that even if Hilton faked the picture, he may face charges of child pornography, since at the age of 17, Cyrus is still considered a minor.

In response to the controversy, Hilton did issue a semi-apology. However, he didn’t take all of the blame and responsibility for posting the picture, saying the media is creating a controversy over nothing.

ABC has pulled their ads from Hilton’s website in response to the scandal. Even Joy Behar discussed the issue on her HLN talk show, ‘The Joy Behar Show,’ pondering whether or not his career will suffer from the controversy.
