Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez: bad girls?


The website Huffington Post ran a story talking about the "evilness" of Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez.  Check below:
Two seeds of Disney  are making news this week, again for playing against his type. In one corner is a now ex-Hannah Montana, 18, Miley Cyrus, apologizing publicly (...).
In the other corner is Selena Gomez, the teen queen of Wizards Of Waverly Place, Disney Channel, who just signed on to star in the film adaptation of the bestselling book "13 Reasons Why," about a girl who commits suicide, leaving back audio messages for 13 people, explaining how they contributed to his decision to death.
Two totally different situations: one is a real life situation, another is a movie script, a public apology coming from a star, a career decision. But given the limitations of child stardom - especially under the Disney brand - I have to applaud as they are growing as adults. Disney Children rarely make a break with the public - every move is analyzed for its suitability, and teens can rarely live up to those standards. (...)
But Miley (...) recognizes that she is a model and also that it will not always be so. It is self-conscious, but imperfect, as many of us mortals.
The decision to Gomez to go dark in his new film is even more 
interesting: for a smooth transition through, say, a big-screen version of Wizards, or even a more typical teen comedy or a sentimental drama, she will straight to the biggest 
challenge of acting. Parents can not love this decision, but the teenagers loved the book and probably will love the movie, too. Moreover, it is not better than prove they are adults with a photo session or half-naked pictures of paparazzi at the disco?

What do you think? They are going too far?
