I’ll say this at the top, so there’s no misconception: Miley Cyrus is bisexual or pansexual, however she’s describing herself these days. She used to say she was pansexual, but in an interview this year, she called herself bisexual. All that being said, I truly feel like there is a performative nature to Miley’s current jumpoff-relationship with Kaitlynn Carter. Miley usually “performs” how in love she is, and we just got used to seeing her perform her love with Liam Hemsworth. But this Kaitlynn Carter thing is new and it is LUST. Miley wants us to know just how lustful and avant-garde they are. She will perform her love/lust for Kaitlynn for a room full of people.
Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter are still all over each other. Cyrus, 26, and Carter, 31 were spotted swapping spit in coordinating black outfits as they hit a private New York Fashion Week event at trendy NoHo bar and restaurant Acme late Tuesday.
“[They] legit made out against a wall like the entire night,” a spy told Page Six, adding they were in full view of other attendees. We’re told they were in one of the back booth areas of the downstairs bar, where Cyrus sat on the top of a couch for a while with pals “just casually listening to music” and “sipping on cocktails.”
“[Miley] was all touchy-feely with Kaitlynn the whole night and kept making out,” the source added. “During the night, they stood up and started dancing with their friends in the section they were in and kept making out against the wall.”
The duo was also seen holding hands outside the hot spot as paparazzi snapped their pics. This isn’t the first time they’ve shown some PDA, as they were seen “basically having sex” at a club in West Hollywood, kissing backstage at the MTV VMAs, looking cozy at a VMAs afterparty (which Brody Jenner also attended), as well as admiring each other during Tom Ford’s New York Fashion Week show.
Miley is that woman with her first girlfriend and she wants everybody to know that SHE’S DATING A WOMAN, OKAY? I’ve said before that I don’t really think Miley has some deep connection to Kaitlynn. I think Miley was married to Liam and she wanted to experiment and Liam was like “I don’t want that” and Miley was like “whatever, I do what I want” and that’s how their marriage fell apart and how Miley and Kaitlynn became a thing. Kaitlynn was supposed to be the experimental side-chick, now Miley has to make her into a jumpoff/official girlfriend. I really do wonder what Miley’s next phase will be and what Kaitlynn will do in five months.

She always looks filthy. She’s so thirsty and obnoxious. Over it!
It’s so blatantly obvious.
“Look at me! Look at me! I’m proving that I really am pansexual/bisexual, you guys!!!”
Didn’t she date Stella Maxwell? Kstew’s ex or current? Every time I see pix of kstew she has a new girlfriend so who knows if they’re still together but I remember some pix Of mylie hooking up with Stella back a few years ago. They were basically getting it on. 🤷🏽♀️
I remember that. The pics were outside her tour bus, kissing I think? Kaitlynn isn’t her first girlfriend, but she is the first woman she’s getting attention for dating – I vaguely remember no one blinked an eye about her relationship with Stella.
yeah, I didn’t think this was her first girlfriend.
and those giant grandpa ambervision shades are HEINOUS.
But they’re Gucciiiiiii, hey! Just another way for Miley to say, “ L.o.o.k. at ME!” She’s a Pap Monster.
Yes i remember that, Miley had her hands down Stella’ s pants while making eye contact with the paparazzi
Ew.
Miley looks terrible. I don’t understand how anyone can have all that money and absolutely no style. Liam, on the other hand, is burning hot fire, and I could never understand what he saw in her.
I hate the term “swapping spit.” This is so juvenile of these two women. Over the top PDA is basically only fun for the people doing it and makes everyone else uncomfortable. Keep it in your pants ladies. And if your so uncontrollably horny for each other get a room.
Yep, pretty much. There is not an eye roll on Earth big enough for this.
Right? Doesn’t matter if it’s man-woman, man-man, woman-woman or whatever, PDA is just not okay, especially for people who don’t have an option of leaving the scene.
Yes, an eye roll for sure. It’s so so obvious they like to make out in public to shock everyone or to make a statement. Are they still children at heart? No one really needs to make out in public all the time–this is very juvenile. Miley is just not mature enough yet to act otherwise. Why else was she being an exhibitionist in everything she does? She’s immature, hungry for more and more attention. What happened to this young woman that she can never get enough attention? That’s what it all amounts to. My friends are all sick of her in a BIG way, and I am, too. Her over-the-top personality and look-at-me attitude has worn away any respect we may have had for this one. I’m sure we’ll soon see another crazy dildo performance or something equally as stupid very soon so she can stay relevant.
One woman has faked a wedding for popularity, other woman has married so she can launch her new album with the break up press attention, now we’re supposed to believe they have both magically become genuine people and their pap arranged outings are a real relationship.
Last time she pulled a stunt like this with Stella, it ended with her crying about how she can’t make herself be into her no matter how hard she tries because “she’s not him”.
I don’t see this article as homophobic at all. The intent (I believe) is to illustrate that Miley wants us to KNOW she is with a woman (like we’re all supposed to go clutch our pearls or something). I see this NYC stunt as the same type of shenanigans when she gyrated naked on a wrecking ball and she she was making out with Stella Maxwell (I recall that is who it was) next to a bus or something and stuck her hand down Stella’s pants. Miley is IMHO near exhibitionist-level thirst and cannot stand when the media is not going nuts about her behavior. And as Ann says below….go get a room – and that goes for any couple.
I don’t believe the post is homophobic either (deleted comment).
Agree. As a bi woman myself I don’t understand why any couple would be this PDA desperate. it has nothing to do with sexuality, I just rather not see this stuff in public. But its also why I avoid the club scene. I had so many straight friends who also tried to essentially f*ck in public while dancing. Gag.
Meh.
She’s navigating her “terrible twenties.” Plus, she’s second-generation show biz. Performance runs in her blood. Besides if everyone was a reserved, stoic, goody-two-shoes, life would be a million times more miserable than it already is.
I ain’t mad at Miley.
I mean not acting like a 16 year old in every new relationship isn’t really being a stoic goody two shoes. And Kaitlyn is 31?
I’m fine with it. They were affectionately sloppy in public. So what? Nobody is hurting because of it — I doubt even Liam. Plus, personally, I think people getting uptight about public kissing is tied up in cultural taboos regarding sexuality that, ultimately, only serve to uphold the patriarchal status quo. But that’s another topic for another day.
What “patriarchal status quo” is being broken down by pulling stunts and how exactly, pray tell? lol
Hikaru,
It’s complicated, but in short — society has always used sexuality (and related symptoms) to control women and women’s bodies. For example: It’s always been socially acceptable for men to sleep around, but not women (and they are forgiven much more readily for infidelities than women). (And I’m not advocating for infidelity, just using it as an easy example of a sociosexual double standard.) Our culture idealized the virginal woman archetype. So, if we’re going to dismantal the current male-dominanted societal structure, part of that is looking at how we’ve weaponzied sexuality by making it taboo.
Stepup- I hear what you’re saying, but the other day walking through a park I came across two teens engaged in heavy lust. I get it. It’s new to them and they have no where else to go. No judgement but it still makes one feel like you’ve just walked into someone’s bedroom without knocking. It puts the viewer in a position of acting like they didn’t see to be polite. Now, if Miley was totally fine with people watching, so be it. But I suspect she gets off on self-righteous admonitions to mind your own business. That would be classic narcissism. Create a scene and then play victimized by the attention.
@Bettyrose…
Yeah, I guess I’m just not, in any way, grossed out by young lust. At all.
As for Miley being fine with people watching…I bet she was fine with it. That’s who she is. An exhibitionist. A showbiz drama queen, and I’m not offended or grossed out by it. And I’m certainly not gonna shame-wag my finger at her for making out with her new partner — or courting attention (some people like attention. Big whoop.) — at a private party, where the alcohol was undoubtedly flowing, and they were in the back in a booth. Who cares, ya know? Anyway…that’s just how I see it.
Yup, @Bettyrose, it’s “narcissism but woke”. Not a single bit of my lesbian existence is being bettered by Miley feeding into men’s entitlement to having lesbian couples make out in front of them for the sake of getting back at her ex husband. This is the second time she is using a woman to pull this shit. My sexuality is not some quirky rebel trait that exists for shock value and clicks. I am not being liberated, patriarchy is not being brought down. Quite the contrary.
@Steppu … “She’s navigating her “terrible twenties,” is that even a thing? I’ve heard of people navigating their ‘terrible teens,’ with reason, but this woman has been in a long-term relationship and married. A majority of people have their act together in a mature way by the time they reach 26. it reads like you think Miley should be entitled to exhibit any behavior she wants simply because she’s still in her twenties. In 4-years she’ll be 30. What will be her excuse when she’s out of her twenties?
I agree that there’s nothing wrong with two people expressing their love or lust for each other in public, but for me making out against the wall in public up to nearly the real thing is a crossed boundary too far. There is something to be said about for the expression “Get a room!”
What her conduct says to me is that her desires control her when she should be controlling her desires. It’s an old philosophy that goes all the way back to ancient Greece, at least. They dreaded/feared the god Eros because he had the power to turn lives into chaos: desires controlling you instead of you being in control of yourself. Cyrus is chaos personified.
The ancient Greeks also thought women were inherently inferior. Aristotle himself liked to talk about how men were “rulers” and women “subjects.”
Is she a whirlwind? Sure. But so were a whole lot of people in their twenties.
Yeah, I know about all that.
But does it hurt to apply the same philosophy in general to all sexes? I think you missed the point.
And being a whirlwind, being chaotic is not healthy – for those suffering from that spiritual/psychological condition or for those having to deal with the fallout from it, as I have witnessed in my own life.
Cyrus is totally using this new relationship for attention.
And we have every right to be bored with it since she has made it so very public.
@stepup: + 1000 to pretty much all of your feedback. To me it’s not even about age though- just the fact that it’s not unusual for couples to do this at parties. It’s a nothingburger that happens every day. In this case, people commenting didn’t even have to see it.
@stepup I enjoy your POV; it’s a fresh perspective.
Yeah, there’s a weird tone to this. Miley has a lot of faults, but she doesn’t need to prove her bisexuality to anyone. This isn’t even her first public gf.
I don’t think it’s a comment on her sexuality as much it is a comment on her disingenuous nature. Miley doesn’t have an identity. She takes identities of others and thinks that makes her edgy. She’s country, she’s performing twerking “ghetto” hip hop and now she’s bi and complicated.
This. Though she has been public with her bisexuality for awhile now, this PARTICULAR relationship feels performative. Not because she’s bi but because of the circumstances surrounding how they got together. She wants everyone to believe this is some great romance.
I feel like it’s some attempt to flaunt it at Liam too. It’s all very immature.
In six months I think Kaitlyn will go back to Brody Jenner and Miley will write a whole album about how she is just too edgy for anyone to hold down or hold back and how she is an “independent woman”. But – like on both of her previous albums their will be one song about Liam basically begging him to take her back. Miley strikes me as the type who will continue a cycle even though everyone else involved will have moved on.
Yeah, this seems like a great take.
This take makes sense.
Do you think Brody will take her back? She publicly left him for another woman, that’s very ego bruising for a good looking guy like Brody. and he can get another woman in a heartbeat. I don’t think he will get back together with her.
Stop looking for ways to be offended. Kaiser’s tone is about how disgusted she is with Miley’s behaviour and desperation to look edgy and “push the envelope”. Miley’s trying to be “outrageous” and doing a terrible job; when people call her on her BS she’ll accuse them of being intolerant haters, just like you did. Congratulations.
You always have to wonder what goes on behind closed doors when a couple is so intent on “proving” their nonstop, voracious lust for each other.
I have a great intimate connection and plenty of sex with my husband. When we are in public is not the place to get it started. We give a nice little kiss or hold hands in public. and when you have a real connection then just a touch, just a certain kind of look is all it takes to let them know you are thinking of them that way. Then things can happen behind closed doors!
To me this kind of thing screams “no real sexual connection”. It’s for other people, not for the couple themselves.
I can’t really add anything to yesterday’s comments about Kaitlynn being thirsty and Miley overestimating how much people cared. I think that nailed it.
She’s found a thirstmate alright
Ok, rude much? PDA is gross. I’d be so pissed if I went out to a nice place and a couple couldn’t stop making out. Grow up, Miley.
Yes! It is rude. I commented that they’re being juvenile cause they are. This is how horny teenagers act. This Kaitlynn chick is 31. For real, grow up!
Nah. It was a private fashion party. The equivalent to being at a club. It’s not like they were in the center table at a public restaurant.
LOL! A club is also a public venue. It’s great that you’re so immune to PDAs but not everyone is, and for reasons that have nothing to do with homophobia or the patriarchy.
I agree about the performative nature of this particular relationship.
Yes. Miley. We see you.
In five month Kaitlynn (really, two Ns?) will be back with Brody and they will laugh and laugh about all the exposure and go on with their lives. Miley will either go off the deep end or ‘reform’ again and try to get back with Liam. Vicious cycle.
I can’t stand people who want to perform for us. Whether it’s regular people or famous people, this whole “LOOK AT ME I’M SEXUAL, I’M IN LOVE, WE CAN’T KEEP OUR HANDS OFF EACH OTHER! SO MUCH LUST! WE HAVE SEX!”
Sit down 🙄 Many people are sexual and lust for their partners. We don’t need to perform it in front of people and we don’t need to impress anyone. I find it so thirsty and juvenile. You really don’t have anything to prove here.
Do you guys remember the paparazzi video where she’s clearly fingering Stella Maxwell for the cameras? Around 2013-2014. This is precisely why the Hemsworths don’t like her. People have to stop trying to make him be the bad guy. Miley is a mess. She has always been attention starved. She uses her sexuality to get attention and validation.
Annie, you hit the nail on it’s head, chica. She isn’t doing the LGBTQ community any favors. I do agree that women’s sexuality is policed and used against us, but there are so many LGBTQ folks who just want a normal life actually loving who they love, or sleeping with who they want without losing their livelihoods or children or safety. If you want to swing or orgy or drop your hands in someone’s pants because being a exhibitionist turns you on, enjoy in the places people do that consensually and with folks who want to watch. If you want to support the community as a public figure, be LGBTQ for real with respect for the community. Kiss your girlfriend, Miley, but stop acting like an ass.
Parsee, agreed. She’s performing and it’s gross, but it doesn’t matter if it’s a
Male or female. However, she does appear to be trying to “prove” to somebody that she is not heterosexual, and she’s discussed it before. If this weren’t a clear jump off situation, I don’t think it would be viewed the way that it is. The Shawn/Camila thing is hetero, but one of them didn’t publicly dump a spouse and then announce that the spouse had drug issues, and then act like they are enjoying drugs openly and making out everywhere for the world to see. After living in LA and New York as a young person, I think that she is on something based on how she is acting. She’s not the first and won’t be the last. It doesn’t matter who she is making out with. What matters is that she keeps trying to work people about her life, and she’s not so good at it. People see the BS part, at least the 40+ set does.
It’s uncomfortable to see ANY COUPLE UNDER THE SUN constantly making out in front of you. Most people do not want to see that, doesn’t matter who it is.
She is truly cringeworthy. She will stop at nothing to get attention. Her narcissism is overwhelming, it’s not being “brave” and “empowering”, it’s not feminism at its finest, it’s continuing to pander to male voyeurs and their over-sexualization of women. She’s found herself a niche where she can get the most eyeballs, that’s all.
Flashback to the lesbian couple who were beat up because a group of men on the bus demanded they perform their sexuality for them like “lesbians” in porn do, got angry when turned down and took it out on them with their fists. Yay.
That was horrific for those ladies. Just awful.
@Hikaru: Using hate crimes committed against bisexual women or lesbians as a reason for why it’s wrong for them to make out publicly with each other is victim-blaming. Male entitlement and violence against women are not our fault, any more than rape is the fault of women of any sexual orientation who wear revealing clothes, leave hair uncovered, make out with a guy publicly, have casual sex, etc. When that crime went down, there were some who wanted to make it about the ethnicities of the perpetrators, and then there were a few equally crappy people who wanted to make it about the ‘flaunting’ of female bisexuality like you did, but the actual victims put the blame where it belongs instead of using bisexual female suffering to promote hateful conservative propaganda.
@Jaded: The fact that some men are turned on by any particular thing a woman or women may be doing doesn’t automatically mean that’s the women’s motive for doing it. It’s also not women’s responsibility to avoid turning men on for some imagined greater good. And we can’t really decide for other people what is or isn’t empowering for them.
I don’t see this article as biphobic or misogynistic. Just certain comments on it are.
If we are talking politely than I would go with Kaitlynn’s look over Miley’s. Miley seems to be channelling pervy uncle Terry Richardson look with those glasses. Other than that is seems tacky and disgusting when you parade your lover not merely 5 minutes after separating from your spouse.
Her hair…. shudder
