By Ians English
Singer
Miley
Cyrus'
short
film
"Tongue
Tied" has
been
withdrawn
from
the
New
York
City
Porn
Film
Festival
as
her
representatives
claim
they
were
misled
about
the
event.
The
film
features
the
scantily-clad
pop
star
in
a
number
of
suggestive
poses
while
wearing
bondage
gear.
"Miley
was
proud
to
make
a
film
with
acclaimed
filmmaker
Quentin
Jones.
She
did
not
instigate
this
festival
submission
and
is
not
participating
in
any
way," Cyrus's
representative
said
in
a
statement,
reports
femalefirst.co.uk.
Organiser
Simon
Leahy
had
previously
said
that
Cyrus
submitted
the
film
after
hearing
about
the
event
through
mutual
friends,
and
showed
proof
of
an
email
exchange
with
production
company
Cadence,
allowing
the
footage
to
be
used.
Leahy
has
complied
with
the
request
to
remove
the
film
from
listings,
but
insists
it
still
would
have
fit
well
with
the
festival
as
it
isn't
a
seedy
event.
"Basically
they
didn't
do
their
due
diligence.
We
asked
to
show
it
at
the
festival.
Obviously
the
story
went
totally
viral
that
freaked
everyone
out.
We
don't
want
to
cause
any
harm
to
Miley
and
her
image,"
Leahy
told
pagesix.com.
"It's
like
we
are
an
art
festival.
Even
though
we're
using
the
work
porn,
we're
not
some
cheap
LA
porn
award
festival," he
added.
