Who's the Miley Cyrus bong video villain? Some say Anna Oliver [poll]

Every story needs a villain -- and in the story of the Miley Cyrus bong video, fans seem to think the villain is one Anna Oliver.

Oliver, a close friend of the "Hannah Montana" star, is allegedly the buddy who captured Miley's salvia-smoking ways for posterity -- and some Cyrus fans now blame her for the video going public. A female voice can be heard at the start of the recording saying, "I'm going to document the [heck] out of this."

TMZ, which first posted the video, reports that Oliver has deactivated her Twitter account and gone into hiding after a barrage of messages along the lines of, "What would you do if you met Anna Oliver? -- Probably kick her teeth in."

Oliver is also a friend of recently derailed Disney star Demi Lovato, who posted a Flickr picture of them together in February with the caption ""BESTIESSSSSS - @AnnaCOliver."

One anti-Anna Facebook page -- only 105 fans as of Tuesday morning, and paired with a Twitter account with 1,220 followers -- had wall posts including a not-so-subtle death threat, punctuated with a smiley face.

That's in contrast to messages like the one Oliver tweeted out Nov. 22: "Countdown to Mimi's bdayyyyy wooooo!!!! 2hrs 20minsss!"

Who provided TMZ with the video -- shot at the singer's house days after her 18th birthday -- is unclear, though the website Monday reported attempts by Team Miley to round up copies from a couple of college students who "came into possession" of the video. One student contacted Cyrus' reps shortly after Thanksgiving regarding the mini bongstravaganza, TMZ sources said.

Possession of salvia divinorum in California is legal.

Cyrus allowed herself to be recorded while hitting a bong knowing the uproar it would cause -- what better way to generate free media coverage? Now, enough already.

Sure, blame the other girl. Good grief! Miley chose to smoke, allowed herself to be recorded... time for Miley to take some responsibility. Sounds like those blaming the girl doing the recording have their head in the same clouds as Miley.

Friends don't urge Miley to take in more of the drug (in the video) and record it with such excitement. Hearing the person recording the video laughing and encouraging Miley was sickening. Quite evil...who needs enemies when you got friends like that.

Miley needs someone to oversee her moves because she's too young to realize Hollywood can be sensitive to stuff like this and her career lays in the balance. She's acting out "to hell with everything" because her personal life and parent's divorce situation. It's really sad to witness.

This is sad. Fans are angry at the video taker. What about being angry at Miley. If she didn't want people to see her do bad things she should have not done bad things. Everything is known sooner or later. Fans can't save her from herself. Its a shame, wish she can see the light in time but the people trying to cover for her are not her friends, they are her worse enemies.
