Cody Simpson kiss: Miley Cyrus fires back 'Get used to me dating'
Miley Cyrus slams slut-shaming critics after Cody Simpson kiss: 'Get used to me dating'
One day after the singer, 26, was seen kissing his fellow musician Cody Simpson in a Los Angeles store, Cyrus hit back on critics who accused her or left too soon of Kaitlynn Carter and estranged husband Liam Hemsworth.
“I know the public feels invested in my past relationship because they felt like they saw it thru from the beginning,” Cyrus began her statement on Twitter. “I think that’s why people have always felt so entitled over my life and how I live it because they’ve watched me grow up.”
She continued: “But I am grown now and make choices as an adult knowing the truth/details/reality. People only ‘know’ what they see on the internet.”
Cyrus became used to the double standard between men and women when it comes to dating.
“Men (especially successful ones) are RARELY slut-shamed,” she said. "They move on from one beautiful young woman to the next MOST times without consequence. They are usually referred to as ‘legends,’ ‘heartthrobs,’ ‘G,’ ‘Ladies Man,’ etc…. where women are called sluts/whores!”
“I am trying to just THRIVE/survive in a 'mans' world,” Cyrus explained. “If we can’t beat em, join em!
“If our president can ‘grab 'em by the p-----’…. can’t I just have a kiss and an açai bowl?!?!” she added.
As previously reported, Simpson, 22 and Cyrus were seen sharing a kiss on Thursday in an eatery, according to video obtained by TMZ. (The two were first paired at the end of 2014, but in 2015 Simpson told GQ Australia that they were 'just friends'.)
Cyrus split from Hemsworth, 29, in August after just seven months of marriage. When the news of her divorce broke out, Cyrus was seen on an Italian vacation with reality TV star Kaitlynn Carter, who in turn had just divorced her husband Brody Jenner.
Carter, 31 and Cyrus quit in September after just over a month of dating.
Cyrus explained in a follow-up post that she will stay in constant contact with the person she is dating.
“I refuse to recluse and ‘date’ from home cause A. That’s not fun B. Extremely uncomfortable/puts me in a vulnerable position," she said. “I would like to share an activity with someone I am dating and not be stuck at home with pretty much nothing to do but ‘Netflix and chill.'
"This ‘dating’ thing is new to me too,” she continued.
"I've never been an 'adult'/grown a-- woman experiencing this .... I was in a committed relationship for almost All my teens and early 20s; with the exception of a few breaks," the "Break Away" singer added, seemingly referencing her relationship to Hemsworth. (The pair first met on the set of the 2010 film "The Last Song" and became engaged in 2012 only to end their relationship in September 2013. They rekindled their romance in 2015.)
Cyrus went on to say that "usually in those times" she was working her "a-- off with not much R&R."
"And 'meeting/trusting' people in my position is really tuff," she noted. "Don’t f--king pity me, that’s not what I’m asking for. I have a great life I wouldn’t trade for ‘privacy’ but PLEASE don’t make this awkward for me!”
She concluded her post by saying: “I am trying to make light and like always MAKE FUN of myself/and the public’s perception of me! Get used to me dating — this is where I’m at! #HotGirlFall."
