Critics didn’t shy away from knocking Cyrus for moving on with Simpson so quickly after her breakups with Hemsworth and Carter. She took to an Instagram Story (and Twitter) to fight back.
“Can a girl not get a f**king açaí bowl and a morning make out session in peace?!?!” she posted Friday.
She continued, “This ‘dating’ thing is new to me too. I’ve never been an ‘adult’ / grown ass woman experiencing this…I was in a committed relationship for almost all my teens and early 20s; with the exception of a few breaks, which usually in those times I was working my ass off with not much R&R…and ‘meeting / trusting’ people in my position is really tuff. Don’t f–king pity me, not what I’m asking for.”
She added, “I have a great life I wouldn’t trade for ‘privacy’ but PLEASE don’t make this awkward for me! I am trying to make light and like always MAKE FUN of myself / and the public’s perception of me! Get used to me dating – this is where I am at! #HotGirlFall.”
So how do Cyrus’s exes feel about all of this? While Carter isn’t “bothered” by Cyrus’s relationship with Cody Simpson, TMZ reported, “Kaitlynn has expressed concern over Miley’s behavior to friends … and she’s worried for her well-being.”

The pair’s relationship was confirmed the day Cyrus’s representatives confirmed her split from Hemsworth. Carter ended things with her husband, Brody Jenner around the same time.
As far as where Hemsworth stands, he and Cyrus will finalize their divorce soon. For now, Cyrus and Simpson will likely continue documenting their budding romance.
