Miley Cyrus just can’t keep her privates out of the media, it seems and her new video is a continuation of her hypersexed image that has made headlines of late.

Directed by controversial photographer Terry Richardson, the video for Wrecking Ball shows Cyrus using an actual wrecking ball as a stripper’s pole, liking sledgehammers and grinding up against pretty much everything within her reach.

Having worked together before, it’s not surprising the duo pushed the sexual envelope here – the singer twerked for Richardson in a sexy photo shoot in August, but they decided to take things to the next level.

Fresh off her raunchy VMA performance, Miley launched the shocking new video this week, dividing fans and critics once again.“Miley has shot with Terry a lot over the years so she’s very comfortable with him and she trusts him,” a source said.

“She chose him to direct her video because he’s all about pushing boundaries and making a statement. That’s what Miley’s into right now,” the source adds.

“Miley loved the idea of going naked because it suits the song — she’s showing her naked emotions. It’s her vulnerable side and it’s not something she shows very often, so having nudity made sense.”

Wrecking Ball is a song about a partner who destroyed her, but visually, does the sexual innuendo actually relate to the single?

The licking of a sledgehammer, riding nude on a wrecking ball, and forcefully turning to show her backside are all seen in the video.

Supporters of Cyrus are arguing that the singer was baring all because the song is about being torn apart by the bad relationship.

To others, she is making another attempt at shocking the world so everyone talks about her.

Wrecking Ball is the second single off of Cyrus’ forthcoming studio album BANGERZ which is slated to drop on October 8.

Cyrus recently split with long-time fiance, actor Liam Hemsworth.
