Miley Cyrus admitted that she prefers to wear swimsuits that cover her body more than a bikini on the beach. This choice is a result of the ongoing insecurities she has developed regarding her appearance. A conversation with her little sister made her realize that she's still suffering from the memes created about her body after her VMAs performance. It is obvious that her siblings also suffered from public pressure and negative reactions during this time, which led to a strained relationship in the family.

The consequences of public perception

According to Cyrus, these experiences not only affected her own self-image, but also negatively affected her relationships with her siblings. Her brother and sister felt uncomfortable at school and ashamed because they are related to Miley. These family tensions were another price she had to pay for her career.

Many men would have had difficulty with this facet of her personality, which ultimately led to her separation from her ex-fiancé Liam Hemsworth.

She often felt "thin and pale" and the hurtful memes left a deep impression on her self-esteem. However, these negative experiences motivated her to found the Happy Hippie Foundation, a nonprofit organization that advocates for LGBTQ rights and against homelessness. She sought meaning outside of the entertainment industry to boost her self-esteem and make a positive impact.
