Struggling with shame after sexualizing her image

Singer Miley Cyrus first rose to prominence when she starred in Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana, and like many Disney stars of the era, her image was innocent, prudish and poised.

After Miley became an adult, she decided to completely change her tune to shed the child star image and announce to the world that she was a grown woman.

She took the world by surprise when she released the song Wrecking Ball in 2013, where she swung naked on a wrecking ball and caused an outcry for shaking her ass hard on any occasion, singing on the drugs and sex and rarely photographed otherwise but had her tongue out.

It’s safe to say she succeeded in her mission, and many adults grabbed their pearls and accused the former Disney star of being a bad role model for young women.

Miley now confides in an interview with Vogue that today, at 30, she regrets that time.

“I’ve dealt with guilt and shame for years because of the amount of controversy and upheaval I’ve actually caused. Now, as a grown woman, I realize how much I was judged harshly.”

At the time, she had decided to go through it to announce to the world that she was no longer the teenager Hannah Montana, but the young woman Miley Cyrus.

Over the past decade her life has gone through many changes and she again had an image problem because she was now struggling to shed the stigma of being a provocative party girl, but that could not not be further from the truth. . Miley hasn’t tasted alcohol in two years and says she’s grown up.

She also struggles with a chronic health condition that causes pain and inflammation, but the condition worsens when she’s stressed, so she’s mostly stayed out of the spotlight lately. years. She says she has little desire to go on long tours, and the music coming out of her today reflects the peace she has found in life.

“Singing in front of hundreds of thousands of people is not something I like. There’s no connection. There’s no security. It’s isolating because when you’re in front of a hundred thousand viewers, you are alone.”
