Miley Cyrus will always stand up for artists "struggling" with fame and "bullies."
After Chappell Roan opened up about her struggles with fame amid her skyrocketing success in 2024, including her desire to create boundaries with fans and even explaining that she may "quit music" if her fame hit "dangerous" levels, Cyrus was one of many artists who reached out and defended the "Good Luck, Babe!" singer.
"I wish people would not give her a hard time," she said at the time, adding, "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."
In a new interview with Variety, Cyrus spoke out further about why she felt the need to check in on the "Pink Pony Club" hitmaker.
"I never bow down to bullies. Anytime I feel like somebody is being bullied, I feel very protective of them," Cyrus said. "When I see people struggling, I'm always the first one to ask, 'Can I get in contact with them?' I'd like to show artists how they can have a balanced life."
Elsewhere in the interview, which heavily focused on the upcoming Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special, the "Flowers" musician spoke about how she is "reclaiming" that part of her life after once thinking of "Hannah as something separate from myself."
