Miley Cyrus is asking a judge to toss out a racism lawsuit filed against her, insisting the woman suing her is just seeking to "harass and embarrass" the star.
Lucie J Kim filed a lawsuit back in February, on behalf of the one million-plus Asian-Pacific Islanders who call Los Angeles home, after photos showing Cyrus and a group of male pals appearing to mock Asians by pulling on their eyes were leaked online.
Kim is seeking £666 million.
Cyrus' lawyers have struck back, filing documents asking the judge to sanction Kim's lawyers for launching "a manifestly frivolous" lawsuit that serves as a "publicity stunt in an effort to publicly embarrass and harass (Cyrus) and to obtain a large and quick class-action settlement".
According to TMZ.com, the teen superstar's legal team is also asking Kim to pay her legal bills so far, which add up to £18,030.
