To make matters worse, it turns out the incident at the VMAs afterparty, held at 1OAK in the trendy Meatpacking District, wasn't the first time the pair had met.
"We have mutual friends in common. I actually met him a week before the afterparty," she revealed.
She added: "I was actually going over to the DJ booth and he followed me. His security guard took the photo and said, 'You guys make a cute couple'."
Thicke's summer smash hit, Blurred Lines, may tell the story of a man pursuing a girl in the club, but in real-life, the singer is happily married to 37-year-old actress Paula, with whom he has a three-year-old son.
So far, Thicke has remained silent on this latest controversy, happily heading off on a family beach vacation.
But perhaps the singer isn't losing any sleepless nights over the picture, as his wife was also in attendance at the party - reportedly busy herself grabbing the microphone from rapper 2Chainz to get the party started.
Robin began dating Paula 20 years ago, when he was just 16, and went on to marry her in 2005.
The couple welcomed son Julian Fuego Thicke in 2010. The picture comes after the raunchy performance a the VMAS, which saw Miley Cyrus grind inappropriately up against Robin.
His mother, Gloria, publicly denounced the Disney star, saying: "I don't understand what Miley Cyrus is trying to do. I just don't understand. I think she's misbegotten in this attempt of hers. And I think it was not beneficial."
