AceShowbiz - Miley Cyrus has publicly defended Chappell Roan after the up-and-coming singer expressed frustration with "predatory" fan behavior. In a recent Harper's Bazaar interview, Cyrus expressed sympathy for Roan's experience, saying, "I wish people would not give her a hard time." She acknowledged the challenges of navigating fame in the digital age, stating, "It's probably really hard coming into this business with phones and Instagram."

Roan has previously spoken out about being harassed and stalked by fans. In a series of TikTok videos in August, she challenged the notion that celebrities should be subjected to unwelcome physical and social interactions. She asserted that women have the right to set boundaries and demand respect.

Cyrus and other music stars have expressed their support for Roan. Lady GaGa, Katy Perry and Hayley Williams have reached out to offer their advice and encouragement. Cyrus has even invited Roan to a party, acknowledging her admiration for the younger artist.

Despite her success, Roan has been vocal about the need to find a balance between her career and her personal life. She has expressed frustration that people have only recently begun to take her seriously as an artist.

Cyrus emphasized the importance of artists being able to disconnect from their public persona, saying, "I can drop my persona really easily, but it's hard for other people to erase that part of you." She added that she wants to be perceived as a friend to all but that her upbringing has made it difficult for people to separate her from her celebrity status.
