Singer Robin Thicke is not in the dog house despite claims wife Paula Patton was upset over his MTV video music awards performance with Miley Cyrus on Sunday night.
Earlier rumors speculated the "Mission: Impossible" actress was raging when she witnessed her husband being groped and touched by the 20-year-old singer. According to the Yahoo News, these reports are false. An insider said Patton knew what to expect from the performance.
According to TMZ, there were "tons of rehearsals" before the actual show took place so Patton was not surprised while watching her husband's performance. Thicke has been dating Patton since he was 16. The pair married in 2005 and welcomed their first child in 2010.
Thicke has faced controversy over the past month over his "Blurred Lines" music video, which features naked models. The video was eventually banned on YouTube.
"For all the controversy and all this other stuff that people try to make it seem like that's more important, what's really important about music and entertainment is to entertain and make people feel good," Thicke said in a previous interview with the Associated Press.
Cyrus has been the talk on social media since taking to the stage dressed in a nude bikini and twerking on Thicke's private parts and even nibbling at his neck.
According to the New York Daily News, Twitter erupted with comments after the performance and even set a new bar. "Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke perform" brought in more than 300,000 tweets per minute, according to data gathered by the social network. By comparison, last year's show had a peak of 98,300 tweets per minute. Even last year's Super Bowl blackout could not compare. That brought in 230,000 tweets per minute.
But while Patton may not have been surprised by Cyrus' new dance moves, it appears that many other celebrities in the crowd were.

The Parents' Television Council voiced their outrage at MTV's decision to let Cyrus loose on stage in front of impressionable teenage viewers.
"This is unacceptable," a spokesperson for the The parent television council group said in a statement. "MTV continues to sexually exploit young women by promoting acts that incorporate 'twerking' in a nude colored bikini."
