“I wish people would not give her a hard time,” Cyrus told Harper’s Bazaar. “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 previously opened up on social media about her need to “draw lines and set boundaries” after encountering “predatory behavior disguised as ‘superfan’ behavior” from some of her “creepy” followers.
“I’ve been in too many nonconsensual physical and social interactions, and I just need to lay it out and remind you, women don’t owe you s—,” she explained on Instagram. “I chose this career path because I love music and art and honoring my inner child. I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose this path, nor do I deserve it.”
In September, Roan revealed she was recently diagnosed with severe depression. She subsequently cancelled her All Things Go Music Festival performance after an “overwhelming” few weeks, explaining she needed “a few days to prioritize my health.”
The ‘Pink Pony Club’ artist has also had it out with photographers on multiple red carpets. While attending last month’s Netflix world premiere of the Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour concert documentary, the artist zeroed in on one shutterbug and pointed her finger before walking over to give them a piece of her mind in a video shared to social media.
“You were so disrespectful to me at the Grammys. You yelled at me at the Grammy party. I remember, you were so rude to me. And I deserve an apology for that,” said Roan in the clip. “You need to apologize to me.”
