Miley Cyrus has been slammed for being rude 'rude' and disrespectful' after seemingly ignoring fans at a meet-and-greet in the UK over the weekend.
The singer was at the Rough Trade East music store and bar in London to meet fans and promote her new album, Something Beautiful.
Joining her was British supermodel Naomi Campbell, who features on the album on the funk-pop track, Every Girl You've Ever Loved.
But as the pair signed autographs, seemingly on autopilot, they appeared to be more interested in chatting to each other, much to the disappointment of their excited fans.

In a clip now going viral, Cyrus barely interacts with a fan who approach the table with her album in hand, nor does the singer look at the camera for a photo.
Instead, she continues to focus her attention on Campbell, who also appears to ignore fans gushing over her.
'Miley looked right at her and focused on Naomi right after. Cmon Miley,' one fan tweeted on X, as another commented, 'Oh that's just disrespectful.'

'I'm sure they didn't intend to but... this is just rude. If you can't give your attention to fans, then don't agree to autograph sessions where pictures are also offered,' another wrote, as one noted, 'I'm pretty sure people paid to see them so if you're going to charge at least be polite and give them the time they paid for.'
'Ew that's effed she prob waited hours for that rudeness,' yet another agreed.

Other users came to Cyrus' defence, calling for understanding as fan meet-and-greets are no walk in the park.
'It is rude. but they see 100s of not 1000s of people. To try and sit there and talk to each and every one of them is a bit much. Not trying to defend their actions or anything, just sayin,' one wrote.
'They have hundreds of fans to meet. I don't blame them for not giving one on one attention to each one,' wrote another.

Earlier this month, the Hannah Montana star was unexpectedly heckled by fans at a Q&A session at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on June 6.
The pop star was at the event to promote her upcoming musical film, Something Beautiful, which is released in line with her album of the same name.
In videos posted online, Cyrus was in the middle of answering a question when a disgruntled fan shouted from the audience, 'We thought this was a concert. We paid $800.'
'Are you actually going to sing?' yelled another. 'Miley, sing The Climb!'

Cyrus then obliged and began to sing an a capella version of her 2009 hit, before abruptly stopping to ask the audience why 'you're not singing'.
After handling the awkward moment with grace, Cyrus then took to Instagram to thank everyone for coming along to the event.
'Seeing Something Beautiful on the big screen at @tribeca @beacontheatre surrounded by the screams of the audience, was so worth every bit of effort lovingly laboured into this visual album,' she wrote alongside photos from the event.
'Tonight was emotional, deep, fun & fabulous. All my favourite things, but YOU the crowd were my absolute favourite of all. I love you.'
