Miley Cyrus is being accused of plagiarizing an artist’s ‘food porn’ to promote her upcoming album (buzzfeednews.com).
Indeed, “food porn” is a thing, although perhaps best not mentioned in front of Miley’s middle-aged and senior Chapopolis congregating fans lest it be assumed an invitation to PM regards cuming on a Werther’s Original.
After Cyrus released promotional images for her recently released EP, She Is Coming—an appetizer for fans before her upcoming album, She Is Miley Cyrus—people began pointing out that the video clips she used, which showcase someone’s fingers intimately caressing various fruits [Instagram], looked suspiciously similar to work that artist Stephanie Sarley has done for years.
With the 30-year-old Sarley’s output comprising her fingering various feminised fruits on social media, in her own words “personifying and empowering vaginas through humor and absurdity, and the acceptance of female sexuality at large” (buzzfeed.com, May 2017), and not holding back regards her work being copied without proper credit, telling how she was “Disgusted” when she saw Cyrus’s promo images and that: “It’s like my entire thing.”
“She looks lame as hell carbon copying me, looking like a doppelgänger when she’s a gigantic pop star, and I’m out here as a real artist working at this shit every day with visibility and working for years building my art following and having faced adversity over it,” she said.
With seemingly no one from Cyrus’s team reaching out to her despite protestations being seemingly made on her behalf on Cyrus’ Instagram and Twitter:
Sarley said she’s “upset with the industry,” adding that she wasn’t alone in “being ripped off.”
“This is a systemic problem where creative teams are robbing artists of their work for quick cash,” she said. “Like it’s not already hard enough for artists to find their way.”
