Washington: Singer Miley Cyrus opened up about the rumours by stating that she's now seeing musician Cody Simpson after they were caught making out in now-viral footage.
The 26-year-old singer confirmed the news on her Instagram revealing about her involvement with the musician. She posted a black and white still of Simpson posing shirtless and flaunting his tattoos.
"22. Australian (my type). Abs," she captioned the shot.
Cyrus followed the picture with a screengrab of the viral footage which features her kissing Simpson while out to eat.
"Can a girl not get an acai bowl and a morning makeout session in peace?" she wrote.
She also addressed her PDA with Simpson in the following Instagram Stories.
"I know the public feels invested in my past relationship because they felt like they saw it thru from the beginning. I think that's why people have always felt so entitled over my life and how I live it because they've watched me grow up but I am grown now and make choices as an adult knowing the truth/details/reality. People only "know" what they see on the Internet," she wrote.
She also commented on the double standard between men and women, arguing that men are "rarely sl-t shamed" and "they move on from one beautiful woman to the next " without any consequences.
"Men (especially successful ones) are RARELY sl-t shamed. They move on from one beautiful young woman to the next MOST times without consequence. They are usually referenced as " legends", "heartthrobs", " G", "Ladies Man" etc where women are called sl-ts/ wh-- es! I am trying to just THRIVE/ survive in a "mans" world if we can't beat em, join em! If our president can " grab em by the p--sy." can't I just have a kiss and awl bowl?!?!
