Liam Hemsworth urged by friends to distance himself from Miley Cyrus

Liam Hemsworth has reportedly been told by friends to distance himself from fianceé Miley Cyrus after her much derided performance at the VMAs.

Miley’s raunchy performance with Robin Thicke to hit Blurred lines caused outrage and has had major backlash against the former Disney star. 

Sources claim it was somewhat embarrassing to the talented young Australian actor whose career is taking off in the U.S. 

Liam and Miley have been together since meeting on the set of The Last Song three years ago. 

The former Hannah Montana star has shed her girl image and has taken to posting provocative pics on twitter, twerking in skimpy clothes and just generally flashing what her momma gave her at every opportunity.

Liam did not attend the music ceremony at the Barclay’s Center but has been drawn in the aftermath with his close friends begging the actor to stay away from Miley and her wild ways.

According to website Radar Online, friends of the Australian actor are worried that Miley’s inappropriate actions will have a negative effect on his flourishing career. 

One unnamed friend told gossip site: “Liam really does care about Miley, but her racy new look and sort of ghetto attitude isn’t exactly what he signed up for.”

The source also added: “It’s not just Liam that Miley is pushing away…his entire team is urging him to part ways with her because she’s nothing but negative for his reputation and career.”
