"The whole thing was cringe-worthy, but I also feel bad for her. She is a mess," Brzezinski said, following Miley Cyrus' performance at the VMAs. 
Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski spoke out against the hyper-sexualized dance Miley Cyrus performed at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Cyrus, who starter her career as Disney star Hannah Montana, danced provocatively with singer Robin Thicke, 36, to his hit single “Blurred Lines.”
“I think that was really, really disturbing. That young lady who is 20, is obviously deeply troubled, deeply disturbed, clearly has confidence issues, probably an eating disorder, and I don’t think anybody should have put her on stage. That was disgusting and embarrassing…That was not attractive, that was not fun. That was not funny, that was really, really bad for anybody who’s younger and impressionable and she’s really messed up.”
Brzezinski continued:
“The whole thing was cringe-worthy, but I also feel bad for her. She is a mess. Someone needs to take care of her. Someone needs not to put her on stage and make a complete fool of herself.”
