Miley Cyrus, known for her raw and candid persona, has always been transparent about her highs and lows, but her recent revelation takes it to another level.
Filming Under Fire
It was during a session of her “Used to Be Young” TikTok series that the star dove deep into a particularly disturbing memory. “I was filming ‘Black Mirror’ and while I was there the fires happened in Malibu,” Miley confessed, recalling the devastating fires that engulfed her home. The irony? While her Malibu residence was being consumed by flames, she was filming an episode set in a fictional Malibu, halfway across the world in South Africa. “It was just a real trip,” she remarked.
The trauma didn’t end there. A chilling recollection followed. “I would have these dreams any time I would go to perform,” she reflected, hinting at the haunting resonance between reality and her on-screen role in Black Mirror. In the series, she portrayed pop sensation Ashley O, who finds herself restrained to a medical bed amidst a distressing episode. A scene that’s all too real for Miley, who recalled, “As my house was burning I was strapped to a gurney with my hands locked in handcuffs strapped to a bed [filming ‘Black Mirror’].”
Personal Revelations amidst Career Highlights
Miley’s “Used to Be Young” series has been a treasure trove of insights into her journey, highlighting moments often overlooked or misunderstood by the public eye. An integral part of this journey was her relationship with Liam Hemsworth. Their decade-long companionship, punctuated by a wedding in December 2018, faced its major test during the aftermath of the November 2018 California wildfires.
It was during the Glastonbury music festival in June 2019 that Cyrus had an epiphany. “The day of the [Glastonbury] show was the day I had decided it was no longer going to work in my life to be in that relationship,” she confessed. Emphasizing the importance of personal well-being over professional commitments, she noted, “That was another moment where the work, the performance, the character came first. That’s why it’s now so important to me for that not to be the case — that the human comes first.”
As the chapters of their love story concluded, Hemsworth sought a legal end to their marital bond in August 2019. The duo finalized their separation in early 2020.
Miley’s heartrending account offers more than just a peek into her life—it’s a testament to her resilience and her ability to find strength even in moments of profound vulnerability.
