“I Wish People Would Not Give Her a Hard Time”: Miley Cyrus backs Chappell Roan’s stand on fan boundaries

Miley Cyrus, a veteran in navigating life under the spotlight, expressed empathy for rising star Chappell Roan’s request for privacy. Speaking in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar on Wednesday, November 20, the Flowers singer revealed she had reached out to Roan to offer support during a challenging moment in her career.

“I wish people would not give her a hard time,” Cyrus said, acknowledging the pressures of fame that Roan faces. Reflecting on her own experiences, Cyrus highlighted the added complexity of stardom in today’s digital age. “It’s probably really hard coming into this business with phones and Instagram.

That wasn’t always a part of my life, and I’m not a part of it now,” she noted, adding, “I don’t even have an Instagram password.” Cyrus’s remarks follow Roan’s candid TikTok post on June 22, where she shared the support she’s received from fellow artists in the music industry.

“So reassuring and so f****** sick is — the pop girls that you and I have loved our whole lives or have been f****** stans [of] the past two or three years — a lot of them have reached out and are so supportive and girl’s girls,” Roan said.

The Casual singer went on to express her gratitude, saying, “To have people I look up to reach out and offer like a friend or help, I don’t know, it’s just sick and it makes me believe in the world.”

Cyrus’s decision to connect with Roan reflects her understanding of the unique challenges faced by young artists today. Having grown up in the entertainment industry, Cyrus is no stranger to the pressures of public scrutiny and the toll it can take on one’s mental health and personal life.

By offering her support, Cyrus not only reinforces the importance of solidarity among artists but also underscores the need for greater compassion from fans and the public. For Roan, the encouragement from established stars like Cyrus serves as a reminder that even in the often isolating world of fame, there are allies who understand and are willing to help. Cyrus’s words echo an important message about empathy and support, particularly for artists navigating the complexities of modern fame.
