Organisers of a porn film festival in New York have pulled a raunchy Miley Cyrus video from its line-up.
The pop star hit headlines this week when it was revealed her black and white short film Tongue Tied, in which she is seen cavorting in latex underwear, was to bescreened at the upcoming NYC Porn Film Festival.
However the footage, which was shown during the singer's Bangerz tour last year, has been removed from the festival's listings after a representative for Cyrus said the singer had no association with the event.
"Miley was proud to make a film with acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Jones. Neither she nor Quentin are participating in this 'festival' in any way," the rep told Buzzfeed.com.
Festival founder Simon Leahy confirmed the Cyrus film had been removed from all of their media platforms much to their dissapointment.
"We hoped the film (would be) screened alongside great artists such as Amalia Ulman, Bradford Kessler, Richard Kern, Beth B, James Franco, Narcissister, (and) would create a bigger discourse around art, sexuality, gender and pornography."
