Singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus feels that she was the first person on the face of the planet to ever be cancelled. The 32-year-old singer rose to fame on the kids’ show Hannah Montana, but she faced backlash after she walked away from her family-friendly role and embraced a raunchy new persona as she launched her music career away from the Disney series, reports Female First UK.
Cyrus has now called the reaction to her transition “brutal” and believes she was the first celebrity to fall victim to cancel culture.
In an interview on CBS Sunday Morning, she said, “I was the first person to maybe ever be cancelled, I guess. I didn’t know until I was older, actually, how brutal it really was. It was very challenging for other people but for me, it was a good time. It looked fun and it was fun.
