Miley Cyrus says she didn’t cheat on Liam

While she had “f**ked up” or “cheated” in relationships when she was young, Miley Cyrus maintained that—contrary to persistent rumors—she was never unfaithful to her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth.

“I can admit to a lot of things, but I refuse to admit that my marriage ended because of cheating,” the pop star, breaking her silence, wrote on Twitter recently. “Liam and I have been together for a decade. I have said it before, and it remains true. I love Liam and always will.”

She’s well aware that her public image isn’t exactly squeaky clean.

“It’s no secret that I was into partying in my teens and early 20s. I had not only smoked, but advocated for weed. I have experimented with drugs. My biggest song to date is about dancing on molly and snorting lines in the bathroom,” she said, adding that she owes it to her beloved fans to be “completely open” and “transparent.”

She continued: “I lost a massive Walmart deal at 17 for ripping a bong … I got kicked out of ‘Hotel Transylvania’ for buying Liam a penis cake for his birthday and licking it … I swung on a wrecking ball naked … There are probably more nudes of me on the net than any woman in history.”

People can call her a lot of things. But a liar she is not, she said. “What I can’t accept is being told I’m lying to cover up a crime I haven’t committed. I have nothing to hide,” said Miley, who was accused of cheating on Liam with Kaitlynn Carter, who was spotted canoodling with the singer during a recent trip to Italy.

Miley has had an on-again, off-again relationship with Liam since 2009. But she was nothing but “committed” when she rekindled her relationship with the actor in 2016 and married him in 2018. “The truth is, once Liam and I reconciled, I meant it, and I was committed,” she said. “There are no secrets to uncover here.”

Her life hasn’t been perfect. But the important thing, the 26-year-old music artist said, is that she has grown up and learned from her experiences. “I’m the healthiest and happiest I have been in a long time. I’m proud to say, I’m simply in a different place from where I was when I was a younger,” she said. —ALLAN POLICARPIO
