We can only imagine the look on Debbie Allen’s face as she watched Miley Cyrus’ VMA twerk-out. It’s probably safe to assume she wasn’t smiling:
I tried to be silent but enough is enough! @MileyCyrus put the clothes back on! Girl you have real talent! What's next? Show your vagina?

Ouch! Allen continued:
Spare us! I feel like everybody is trying to catch up to @Beyonce .Well take a closer look.She is HOT&ALWAYS A LADY.Sorry,Ms.Debbie Allen

We can agree that Cyrus’ performance was less than ladylike, but is Beyoncé really the one young women should look to for inspiration?
@msdebbieallen I'm sorry with all due respect I wouldn't want my daughter dressing like Bey either. Is she classy or the least classless?

@msdebbieallen All due respect, Ms. Debbie, but this is what Beyonce inspired. Class, out the door. Thru Bey, industry taught nudity & shake
