Miley Cyrus says she “lost everything” during a turbulent period of her life, following her Disney Channel days. The singer reflected on the difficult chapter in her life during an appearance on Monica Lewinsky’s “Reclaiming” podcast posted Wednesday. “My 2013 is your 1998, because that was the time where I just got just hit so hard and I was so embarrassed,” Cyrus told Lewinsky. “I mean, there was even a time where my brother and sister didn’t want to go to school because of how humiliated they were to be related to me.” “I lost everything during that time in my personal life because of the choices I was making professionally,” Cyrus shared. “You know, if I kept dressing or acting a certain way, my relationships fell apart. No one wanted to date me, because they didn’t want to be with a woman [with] that sexual expression part ― [it] was not for them.” “I was engaged at the time ― that didn’t work out,” Cyrus said, referencing her broken engagement with her now-ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth.“I was sharing a part of myself that men wanted to be saved for them only,” she said. “And the fact that I would pose nude or dance in very little clothes or show my body was making them feel like I was taking something away that was meant to be for them.” The “Flowers” singer added that she had a really hard time dating and also interacting with her family. “It was really hard for me to go home and see my dad and, like, look him in the eyes and not feel super embarrassed,” she said, later adding, “Going home and seeing my grandparents was just mortifying.” Cyrus, who is currently on a press tour to promote her newest album, also reflected recently on how she attempted to rehabilitate her professional life in order to keep a “happy home” with Hemsworth. “When me and Liam split up the first time with ‘Bangerz,’ it was because it was like I was this provocateur and it was highly sexualized,” Cyrus said during an appearance on the “Every Single Album” podcast last week.Four years after “Bangerz,” Cyrus released an album called “Younger Now,” with which she says she tried to play “into this innocence.” “If I’m younger now, if I’m less awake as this sexual woman publicly, then this is going to be the way that I can keep a happy home,” she shared.
