Miley Cyrus Got an Infection from the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Miley Cyrus has never shied away from making bold artistic choices, but she may have pushed things a bit too far.  While filming a video for a new song called “Walk of Fame”, Cyrus ended up in the ICU with a severe infection that developed after she rolled around on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In a recent interview, the pop star revealed that she shot the video in October and began feeling the effects not long after.  By Thanksgiving, things had taken a turn: “I was put in the ICU for a moment,” she said.

“My leg began to disintegrate in some way around the kneecap area.”

That shocking description wasn’t hyperbole.  Cyrus shared that a surgeon who examined her reacted with a simple, brutal response: “Yuck.”  She added, “They open up cadavers, they see inside the guts of humans, and they’re looking at me, telling me I’m disgusting.”

While the source of the bacteria wasn’t confirmed, it’s not hard to draw conclusions given the location.  The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a major tourist destination.  And it’s a whole street of yuck.

So next time you visit, don’t roll around on the ground.
