14-Year-Old Miley Cyrus Was Asked About Pregnancy Rumors And 'Sex Before Marriage' In A 'Gross' Resurfaced Clip, And People Are So Disturbed
Related:
Miley repeatedly found herself at the center of wild and inappropriate rumors, including claims that she was pregnant at age 14.
At a 2007 event, Miley actually ended up addressing this rumor during red carpet chats with Inside Edition and Extra TV. 'I am not pregnant. I am 14 years old, and that is very lame because I'm a minor,' she said in one of the interviews, which recently resurfaced online.
'So stupid,' Miley said of the false claim, while her mom, Tish Cyrus, stood behind her smiling and shaking her head.

'The main reason that I'm here tonight is to set the record straight,' Miley went on. 'I think people that make stuff up like that and do that's kind of a cry for help, for attention.'
An Extra TV reporter later asked Miley, 'Why do you think these rumors about you being pregnant still exist? Why do you think they're still going around?' To this, the teenager replied, 'I don't know, I'm ready for them to make up something else so I can escape from it.'
'I think it's just people kind of wanting attention, but they didn't get the attention they wanted. It got turned back on me, and it was attention that I did not want at all,' she said, before sarcastically adding, 'Thanks a lot guys, good job.'

Miley admitted that she was initially heartbroken over the false rumor because she thought she'd be judged. However, she noted that her fans stood by her regardless and knew better than to believe the claim. 'It's given me the street cred to say that would be impossible, because I'm living my life the way I believe is right and that is to stay pure,' she said.
The reporter then asked, 'So you really believe in no sex before marriage?' Miley replied, 'No, I don't at all. So, I'm trying to stay true to that, 'cause you never know, you know.'
Reacting to the resurfaced interview clip now, several internet users called out the 'disturbing' way Miley was treated. 'The fact that a 14-year-old had to handle that level of adult weirdness is honestly disturbing,' one Reddit user wrote, while someone else said on Instagram, 'Why are they asking a 14 year old whether she believes in no sex before marriage! That's fucked.'

'Why are they asking her that?' another user echoed. 'These adult interviewers are so gross and weird,' someone said.
Meanwhile, some users commented on Tish's demeanor throughout her daughter's interview. 'And her mom just watched,' one user wrote, while someone else questioned, 'Why is her mother just standing there smiling?! If someone asked my fourteen year old about pregnancy…oh boy.'

Get Ready for These New Emoji, Which Are Coming Out This Fall
The Unicode Consortium is a nonprofit devoted to developing, maintaining and promoting software standards and data, and it also releases new emoji once a year. And on July 17, also known as World Emoji Day, Unicode announced that the newest emoji will debut this September as part of Unicode 17.0. Here are the new emoji you can expect to see later this year. Trombone Treasure chest Distorted face Hairy creature (Sasquatch) Fight cloud Apple core Orca Ballet dancers Landslide "These new emoji have long-standing symbolic meanings, are visually distinctive and contain multitudes of expression," the Unicode Consortium wrote online. These new emoji were proposed in November 2024. According to Unicode, the data files for these emoji will be made available this fall as part of Unicode 17.0. Then, the emoji will likely appear on your device in spring 2026. Emojipedia, an online encyclopedia of emoji managed by people who research emoji, announced on World Emoji Day that the distorted face emoji won the award for Most Anticipated Emoji 2025. In 2024, the Unicode Consortium debuted new emoji in September 2024, including the face with bags under eyes and the splatter emoji. You can find those emoji now on your Android and iPhone devices, as well as across the internet. Correction, July 18: An earlier version of this story incorrectly listed the number of emoji that had been approved for the Unicode 17.0 update. Unicode has since confirmed that nine emoji have been approved, including the Landslide emoji. For more on emoji, here are all the emoji award winners for 2025, the favorite emoji among the CNET staff and how to decipher every emoji.

She's the bassist in a band of strangers. It's their first (and last) show.
Maddy Knoth shifts back and forth in her red and pink Converse high-tops. She's busy debating early-aughts pop hits with the bandmates she met only a few weeks ago, but can already feel the adrenaline that builds before a live performance. Their set isn't for another three hours, and the members of newly formed Legends of Limewire are killing time before doors open to the public. Knoth paints her chipped nails with baby blue polish, and waves a piece of notebook paper with a handwritten set list to dry them. She hardly needs the note. She's played these songs dozens of times. The bass line grooves have sunk into her fingers. She's ready to play her first concert in her new city. After living in Memphis for three years, the city's music scene felt small. Knoth knew the other performers at open mic nights and the people who would come see her queer, femme punk band play backyard shows. When she moved to D.C. with her partner in December, she knew she had to start over. She had to find her way back into a creative scene, to take an active role in forming her identity beyond the corporate world that dominates much of D.C. culture. So she signed up for Flashband. The 13-year-old program, run by music school 7DrumCity, is a launchpad for Washington's hobbyist musicians. Participants enter a lottery for a slot. Winners attend a meet-and-greet event — speed dating, basically, for musicians. Everyone from young teens to retirees leaves as a member of a new band. About a month later, they perform in public. Knoth, 25, sort of knows the people she's taking the stage with tonight. This evening they've met each other's significant others for the first time, and learned what their day jobs are. But she trusts them, if not their penchant for Limp Bizkit. For the past month, they've met up for weekly rehearsals, and Knoth has spent hours in between plucking away in her bedroom. So now, as ticket holders of the sold-out show come pouring into the Atlantis — a grubby venue that holds 450, she feels ready. The bands have names like the Recessionists, Vote for Pedro and Mom's Spaghetti, and the first ones warm up the crowd with interpretations of Myspace-era hits. The third band begins, and the Legends of Limewire members get their cue to sneak backstage. Knoth meets them at the entrance to a yellow-lit hallway. 'Okay,' she mutters to herself, lifting her shoulders up with a deep breath. She climbs the stairs to the green room. A Flashband organizer runs through the checklist: 'Chords, cables, pedals, picks…' Knoth grabs a pair of green sunglasses — part of the band's outfit, a nod to the music-pirating site LimeWire that they're named for — and straps her bass guitar over her crop top. 'I really want eight more bars of cowbell,' one of her bandmates says. They were allotted 15 minutes for their set, and it's tight — they've factored in only 15 seconds for claps. 'They're probably not gonna pull us offstage,' Knoth responds. She talks herself through the set list: 'Take Me Out,' 'Can't Get You Out of My Head,' 'Electric Feel.' 'Let's make it count,' singer Aaron Conrado says. Their hands fall into the circle formed by their bodies and instruments, then shoot into the air. The beer Knoth sipped helped ease her nerves, but some are bubbling back up. Her bandmates are depending on her bass's steady pulse to keep them together. When she takes the stage, though, all she feels is excitement — the ease of being back in a spotlight she finds addictive. She looks out to the crowd, which ravels out to the bar at the far end and up across a balcony. It's at least twice the size of any she's played before. She locks eyes with her partner in the front row, who is wearing a shirt with the logo of the band Knoth had in Memphis. Conrado sings: So if you're lonely You know I'm here waiting for you. I'm just a crosshair I'm just a shot away from you Knoth lets her mind and fingers disconnect. Her body leads the groove. She shakes her wavy bob and shouts backup vocals. She hits every note in her 'Murder on the Dance Floor' solo, and dances as hard as anyone in the crowd. The audience erupts into cheers.
