"  A man has filed a lawsuit after being injured by Miley Cyrus&amp;#039;s tongue slide. Charles Nicholas Sarris claims he was hurt while constructing the giant prop, used during Cyrus&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Bangerz Tour.&amp;#039; The worker is suing LA-based equipment supply company ShowFx Inc, after they employed him to help assemble the novelty slide, reports TMZ. Sarris is claiming for unspecified damages and says he was injured when the equipment and tools he was provided with failed, adding that the company didn&amp;#039;t warn him about the potential dangers of the job. Cyrus \u2014 who kicked off her &amp;#039;Bangerz Tour&amp;#039; in Vancouver last month \u2014 makes her entrance onto the stage by sliding down the replica of her famous tongue. The singer was recently forced to defend the stage shows after she received criticism for her risqu\u00E9 behavior. The 21-year-old tweeted: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think people realize how much energy I put into my shows &amp;amp;amp; how much their bad energy brings me down.&amp;quot; Cyrus performed in her underwear after missing a costume change during the Milwaukee leg of the tour on Sunday (March 9).
