Genre-bending music isn’t the only thing Miley Cyrus is known for. She is also famous for her outspoken personality and recently had a surprising revelation about her past relationship with Hailey Bieber. Although Cyrus and Bieber are sometimes seen socializing together, it seems their story isn’t all about sunny, pop anthems.
The two men have known each other since they were young and crossed paths on several occasions, long before they achieved global fame. However, their connection isn’t the perfect friendship fans might assume.
Miley Cyrus reveals she bullied Hailey Bieber as a child
Hailey Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Kendall Jenner appeared in an episode of Karaoke Carpool with James Corden. There, Cyrus revealed a playful, but perhaps not so innocent, past with Bieber. It turns out the stars have known each other since childhood, but their bond wasn’t exactly based on friendship.
Cyrus admitted to teaming up with Bieber’s older sister to “be mean” to her. This “evil” apparently involved locking young Hailey out of the rooms whenever she tried to join in their fun.
Cyrus humorously took credit for Bieber’s thick skin, saying his childhood antics were simply “grooming” the future industry model. Bieber seemed to agree, calling Cyrus the “biggest troll” and crediting her with her ability to handle online criticism.
“I would be mean to her,” “She would try to play with us, like me and Alaia, and we would lock her out of the room.” “I had to. It made you who you are, you know? It made you stronger,” “Now you can still take like trolls and bullshit. Because I was such a troll. – Miley Cyrus speaking to Bieber.
“Miley was the biggest troll for me. She prepared me for this industry! – Bieber agreed.
Although Bieber and Cyrus didn’t have a perfect relationship in their youth, it seems like they’re getting along pretty well these days.
