Why Miley Cyrus Is Banned From Performing In Dominican Republic?

It is not the first time a singer has been banned from a country. Justin Beiber to Paris Hilton, there are so many stars who have had restrictions for entering a country. And it was in 2014 that Miley Cyrus had to face a ban from entering the country of the Dominican Republic. A government committee had deemed her lacking morals.

It is the immigration officials of each country that determine, whether to let someone into the country or not. This applies whether you are famous or not, rich or poor. And this time it is singer and actress Miley Cyrus who had to undergo such an ordeal. Here’s the reason for what happened to the Hollywood star.

What Got Miley Cyrus Banned?

Hannah Montana has been every child’s dream girl. Loved by everyone, always in the spotlight combined with all the glitter and glamour, she has made our childhood mesmerizing. The young actress, Miley Cyrus is now more into singing and songwriting. Though she has grown up from a young teenager to an adult, the artist still gets into trouble at times. Miley has been banned from the Dominican Republic back in 2014.

It is not specifically clear of the reason why she has been banned. The country did make a statement that “undertak[ing] acts that go against morals and customs, which are punishable by Dominican law,” as a reason why the singer is banned. The assumption is that the cause for the ban can be the strap-on dress or the other wild antics she has been into in the recent past. The Vanity Fair write-up also opens up the chance for her drug usage. But the artist has never done anything illegal on stage. So there is still confusion about what really caused such a decision.

Other Countries That Banned The Singer

Miley is not the only celebrity to face a ban from other countries. There are many other artists who cannot enter or perform in some countries. And this is also not the first country to impose a restriction on Miley Cyrus. China also imposed a ban on the ‘Party In The U.S.A’ singer back in 2009.

The country stated that it had “no interest in further polluting their children’s minds with her American ignorance.” This ban came after Cyrus appeared in a photo mocking Asians. The singer in the photo was seen with her eyes pulled backward. It is seen as offensive by Asians everywhere. This is what led to the ban of the singer from China.
