Miley Cyrus wasn't to blame: Jimmy Kimmel staged girl's twerking malfunction
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Oh Jimmy Kimmel, you got us again.
A viral video of a young woman appearing to catch on fire during an awful twerking mishap was just a product of Jimmy and his skillful production team.
Kimmel revealed the news on his show Monday night, showing a full cut of the clip, during which he walks in the room after the girl in the video, who was supposedly named Caitlin Heller, seemed to catch on fire.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Turns out the fictitious Caitlin was really a stuntwoman named Daphne Avalon.
Kimmel explained his team opted to subtly post the video on YouTube, in which she takes twerking to a new level -- and upside down one -- with hilarious, and painful, consequences.
"I tried making a sexy twerk video for my boyfriend and things got a little too hot," the YouTube description of the clip reads.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Kimmel said he decided not to promote the video and see what happened. Over 9 million users viewed the clip and it was a viral sensation.
But not everyone was convinced of the video's authenticity. Some commented that the video looked staged. And they were right.
