Miley Cyrus has spoken out in defense of Chappell Roan, who has been facing a lot of backlash from fans and the media, by detailing the difficulties of being a celeb in the modern age of social media and that folks shouldn’t give her a hard time

“I wish people would not give her a hard time,” Cyrus said.

“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. I don’t even have my Instagram password.” Roan has praised Cyrus as being an artist she admires and has been a fan of.

During the Disney Legends ceremony, Roan was featured in an introduction video for Cyrus. The “Hot to Go” singer has also shared that Cyrus’ Best of Both Worlds Tour in 2007 was her first concert. “The things that I admire about Miley Cyrus is that she constantly reinvents herself and always works,” Roan said.

“For a lot of artists, it can seem inauthentic or out of the blue, but she’s very open about her transformations artistically and personally. She’s so true to herself and puts out music that is so authentic.”

“For the past 10 years I’ve been going non-stop to build my project and it’s come to the point that I need to draw lines and set boundaries. I want to be an artist for a very very long time,” Roan wrote.
