Miley Cyrus defends herself from ‘fat’ criticisms on Twitter

Miley Cyrus enjoys the beach wearing a bikini in the Bahamas
Miley Cyrus is defending herself after she received some body criticism via Twitter. Miley’s on holiday in the Bahamas, and she’s been photographed in her bikini extensively. After some of the photos made the gossip site rounds, Miley tweeted “i just jiggled my thighs and they shook on their own for 3 mississippis no more late night lucky charms.” Then all hell broke loose. People responded with more criticisms of her body, even going so far as to call Miley “fat”. Miley then took the high road. She tweeted: “I have my flaws…stop with calling me f*t in post… I don’t even like the word.” It took me a second to figure out the word is “fat”. So, the gossip and tweets went from Miley acknowledging her “jiggling thighs” to a bunch of people calling her fat. This is why 16-year-old girls shouldn’t be on Twitter.

Miley Cyrus has hit the beach looking every inch the Hollywood star she has become at the tender age of 16. The Hannah Montana star is in the Bahamas soaking up the sun for a relaxing family holiday.

Pictured in a mix and match bikini set she is spotted at one point climbing on an inflatable banana boat for a high speed thrill. But her idyllic break was rudely interrupted when she was attacked via her Twitter page after she left a post commenting on her thighs.

The singer turned actress joked that she should give up eating sugary food at night after spotting her ‘jiggling thighs’.

But she hit back at her critics saying she was just a ‘normal girl’.

She wrote: ‘Talk all you want. I have my flaws. I’m a normal girl (sic) there’s things about my body I would change but stop with calling me f*t in post.’

‘I don’t even like the word. Those remarks that you hateful people use are fighting words. The ones that scar people and cause them to do damage to themselves or others.’

‘People that are so okay with being so hateful disgust me and need to spend last time on a gossip website and more time a. reading your bible b. reading stories/articles about what happens when cyber abuse and name calling happens. Kids hurt themselves.’

‘This is not something to be taken lightly. I know these ‘message boards’ are ‘no big deal’ to YOU but (it) is to the victim. This has got to stop!’

And in keeping with her sense of humour, Cyrus, who was recently in Britain added: ‘oh and ps if [your] thighs don’t jiggle go see a doctor. thanks’

[From The Daily Mail]

“If your thighs don’t jiggle go see a doctor” is the best comeback ever. That should have been Miley’s entire message, because it’s true. That should be on t-shirts and bumper stickers. Oh, and just glancing at the pictures of Miley in her bikini, she looks fine and healthy. Why all the talk about thighs and fatness?

My affection for Miley comes and goes. Sometimes I think she’s the biggest brat in Hollywood, sometimes she seems like she’s actually trying to grow up to be a responsible, conscientious young woman. In other words, she’s a pretty normal teenager. And it really isn’t cool that people were harassing her and calling her fat. I’ll take Miley’s side on this one.

    well maybe she’s not that fat..but she looks like a man..i dunno..there’s something wrong ..is she a tranny???

  2. Pufft says:

    Of course it’s wrong to call Miley fat, because she really isn’t. But neither is calling slender people ‘anorexic bitches’ Kaiser.

  3. embertine says:

    The sad thing is that probably most of the people posting that she’s fat are bigger than she is and hate being judged on it. Physician, heal thyself.

    I’m no fan of Miley, but she looks great.

  4. j. ferber says:

    She’s slim, not fat. I also like how she writes f*t, as if it were a curse word or something. Because of course, in Hollywood, it is. I agree that she shouldn’t twitter anymore. She’s on vacation. Why does she need to keep in contact with her public always?

  5. Lili says:

    this is a stupid girl, who acts like a Bi..c and a Ho, and the only thing she cares about is being call fat.. she must be really stupid.

  6. saintdevil says:

    She seems to have a short neck and broad shoulders – or maybe that is just an awkward posture.

    @Adam: I’ve yet to see a man with a body like hers. Not that I’d want to!

  7. Lynnie says:

    Singer, actress, whatever… she’s a cute 16 year girl who looks perfectly healthy. These “celebrity” pictures are refreshing compared to the sickly-skinny girls and women we usually see.

  8. Alexis says:

    uggh. i think little kid bikinis are gross. they creep me out, especially on babies and toddlers.

  9. ToddRH says:

    If it’s fat, it’s just baby fat!

  10. sarah says:

    She’s not fat. God, people just need to keep their mouths’ shut

  11. Jenna says:

    Not a Miley fan but she isn’t fat at all. Her gums are but that’s about it. ;D

  12. Natasha says:

    are you kidding me!? fat? we have a serious issue with weight if we think this is fat! this does nothing but magnify the impossible standards set for girls and women, no wonder why were all so screwed up. its even worse that grown people are sitting here picking apart a SIXTEEN YEAR OLDS “broad shoulders” and “big gums”. she looks great, if thats fat- I want to be fat too lol

  13. jenn says:

    She may not have much of a neck, but she’s not fat. And if she is, then most Americans must be morbidly obese….

  14. Embee says:

    “This is why 16-year-old girls shouldn’t be on Twitter.”

    Exactly.

    We all say asinine things at 16 (i.e. “I hate my thighs” but “DOn’t call me fat!”) And she’s not fat. At all. She actually has quite a nice figure. I know that we women tend to bash all but the super-skinny but I bet there are very few men who would consider this figure fat.

  15. buuu says:

    wow embee, you’re actually very right.
    only women will come down on other women about being fat when they’re regular weight…
    so strange how everyone is falling into the fat category these days…

  16. cakes says:

    I wanna be fat like her.

  17. ! says:

    Honestly, it sounds like the insults of a bunch of children who couldn’t come up with anything better. I guarantee not a single person who said those things was in better shape than Miley. And looking at her, I think every woman who aspires to look healthy could learn a thing or two from Miley’s. She has muscle AND fat, AND looks fantastic! There isn’t a single person on this Earth who can honestly say she is fat. If you do, you are either lying or anorexic or Anna Wintour (ha).

  18. kgirl says:

    she is not fat — she has curves – I know it’s strange to see somebody in HWood that doesn’t go straight up and down but “real women” have hips, and asses etc…I’ll take an hourglass figure anyday

  19. HUH? says:

    agreed…she’s certainly not fat.

    but she needs to stop preaching to others about what’s morally right.

    considering that pic where she was pulling her eyes back to mimic asian people’s eyes, her preaching about what’s “right” doesn’t impress me much.

  20. jennifer says:

    I’m pretty sure that the fat comments are a form of juvenile teasing that are meant to provoke response (it always gets an immediate reaction). Unfortunately, it is probably testing her insecurities (as it would with most females).

  21. ~kate~ says:

    kgirl:
    All “real” women have a vagina, and that’s about the only thing that one can say all women share physically. Not all women have curves, are perfectly slim, flat chested/big chested, etc.

  22. nony says:

    She’s 16, not 26. She still has the body of a girl, even if she puts it in a tiny bikini.
    Give her a couple solid years of booze, hard drugs and starvation– then she’ll look how we’re used to seeing our young starlets; used up and withered.

  23. ChristinaT says:

    i don’t think anybody who called her fat actually meant it. it’s obviously become the canned insult to throw at a girl if you really want to hurt them. she’s obviously not fat and i hope she knows it or gets told it by her parents on a daily basis.

  24. Gigohead says:

    Wow she’s a little “fuller” compared to the twig next to her in that picture. I am assuming that’s a little girl next to her with her back to the camera.

    All kidding aside. I think she’s normal and healthy.

  25. vagtastic says:

    on what planet is THAT fat? beam me up!

  26. Rebecca says:

    No wonder so many women have eating disorders. And yeah, great comeback on her part 🙂

  27. vicki says:

    she looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!soon enough the fashion world will be showing actual skeletons on the runway and they’ll still be labelled fat!!!just ignore those idiots Miley you look stunning and VERY slim!!

  28. Aleksa says:

    I am shocked at the couple of hateful comments about Miley on this thread…this is a CHILD you people are insulting.
    On the whole, though, I am glad most of you have the sense to say she is not fat…

  29. Nneikha says:

    she’s “multi-toned”!!!freaky..

  30. harris says:

    she’s not fat but kind of a an attention whore.

  31. harris says:

    To Aleksa: if that is the case then i can say w/e i want we’re the same age

  32. Alishia says:

    I think that Miley has definetely made her mistakes (the picture scandal and such) but we are only human. She is a good role model still, and this just proves it! She is slim! And who cares if she’s not? She would still be a great person inside.
    If that’s what fat is, what has this world come to? So many people I know think they are fat, and its because of critics like the miley haters, who make them feel bad about themselves.
    SHOUT OUT TO MILEY, YOU ARE EXACTLY THE WAY GOD WANTED YOU TO BE, AND YOU ARE BEAUTFIFUL. NEVER FORGET THAT.
    That goes for all girls out there.

  33. sahra says:

    Hey stop calling miley cyrus f*t she is not f*t!!! Miley keep living your dream you were just having a good time you are just a kid like the rest of us and you have just as many rights as we do. Stop talking crap about miley cyrus!!Well anyone who is calling her fat must just be geliouse !!!!!!!

  34. Jessica says:

    Yah because clearly men have curvs and boobs… She’s gorgeous and you’re jelous because you probably look 1000 times worst then her. Get over yourself.

  35. maggie says:
