Gasp! Miley Cyrus has said a swear word. And not just any swear word, the rudest swear word of them all the c-word! The tongue-waggling star lost her cool with a paparazzo and deployed the c-bomb. Shocking stuff! She then decided to fess up before the photographer went running to the press trying to sell his story. Just called this paparazzi a C***. So before he makes breaking "news" out if it. Ill just say it. Ha-Ha #C***, she tweeted Reports that she then ran away while giggling, "I'm so controversial" have yet to be confirmed. Now, call us cynical but we cant help but think that this whole incident is just another part of Mileys ongoing campaign to prove to the world that shes a grown up now. She might as well have included a hashtag that said HeyImSoGrownUpAndEdgyNowThatIUseTheCWord! Still, wed much rather hear about Miley being a bit sweary at a photographer than see her tongue lolling out of her head as she grinds Robin Thicke.

The black woman who brought a hostile workplace complaint against her black boss for his repeated use of the N-word during a lengthy office rant has now won a $30,000 punitive damages award.

That adds to the $250,000 she won a few days ago in compensatory damages from a federal jury in Manhattan.

The case pitted Brandi Johnson, 38, against Rob Carmona, 61, the founder of the STRIVE East Harlem organization to help those of lesser means find jobs and gain economic sustainability. Ms. Johnson said Mr. Carmona had used the N-word repeatedly during a March 2012 office discussion, in which he expressed his dissatisfaction with her work performance. She testified that the dressing down and his use of the N-word left her offended and embarrassed, and that she spent 45 minutes crying in the bathroom.

Mr. Carmona, for his part, said he was only using the N-word as a term of endearment and that in the black culture, the term was often expressed in love. A federal jury didnt buy that argument, and awarded Ms. Johnson $250,000 in compensatory damages.

On Tuesday, the jury gave her $30,000 for punitive damages, The Associated Press reported.

Its the most offensive word in the English language, her attorney, Marjorie Sharpe said after the ruling, AP reported.

Mr. Carmona will have to pay $25,000 and his business STRIVE the other $5,000, the jury said.

The ruling helps clarify whats been widely seen as a confusing double standard that blacks can use the N-word with impunity in public, while other races cannot, or else face cries of racism. Ms. Sharpe acknowledged the double standard and guessed the case would leave a lasting impression on other businesses around the nation, facing similar situations.

NEW YORK

In a case that gave a legal airing to the debate over use of the N-word among blacks, a federal jury has rejected a black managers argument that it was a term of love and endearment when he aimed it at a black employee.

Jurors awarded $30,000 in punitive damages Tuesday after finding last week that the managers four-minute rant was hostile and discriminatory, and awarding $250,000 in compensatory damages.

The case against Rob Carmona and the employment agency he founded, STRIVE East Harlem, hinged on what some see as a complex double standard surrounding the word: Its a degrading slur when uttered by whites but can be used at times with impunity among blacks.

But 38-year-old Brandi Johnson told jurors that being black didnt make it any less hurtful when Carmona repeatedly targeted her with the slur during a March 2012 tirade about inappropriate workplace attire and unprofessional behavior.

Johnson, who taped the remarks after her complaints about his verbal abuse were disregarded, said she fled to the restroom and cried for 45 minutes.

I was offended. I was hurt. I felt degraded. I felt disrespected. I was embarrassed, Johnson testified.

The jury ordered Carmona to pay $25,000 in punitive damages and STRIVE to pay $5,000.
