Miley Cyrus Tells Monica Lewinsky About Losing 'Everything': 'My 2013 Is Your 1998'
Miley Cyrus says she 'lost everything' during a turbulent period of her life, following her Disney Channel days.
The singer reflected on the difficult chapter in her life during an appearance on Monica Lewinsky's 'Reclaiming' podcast posted Wednesday.
'My 2013 is your 1998, because that was the time where I just got just hit so hard and I was so embarrassed,' Cyrus told Lewinsky. 'I mean, there was even a time where my brother and sister didn't want to go to school because of how humiliated they were to be related to me.'
'I lost everything during that time in my personal life because of the choices I was making professionally,' Cyrus shared. 'You know, if I kept dressing or acting a certain way, my relationships fell apart. No one wanted to date me, because they didn't want to be with a woman [with] that sexual expression part ― [it] was not for them.'
'I was engaged at the time ― that didn't work out,' Cyrus said, referencing her broken engagement with her now-ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth.
'I was sharing a part of myself that men wanted to be saved for them only,' she said. 'And the fact that I would pose nude or dance in very little clothes or show my body was making them feel like I was taking something away that was meant to be for them.'
The 'Flowers' singer added that she had a really hard time dating and also interacting with her family.
'It was really hard for me to go home and see my dad and, like, look him in the eyes and not feel super embarrassed,' she said, later adding, 'Going home and seeing my grandparents was just mortifying.'
Cyrus, who is currently on a press tour to promote her newest album, also reflected recently on how she attempted to rehabilitate her professional life in order to keep a 'happy home' with Hemsworth.
'When me and Liam split up the first time with 'Bangerz,' it was because it was like I was this provocateur and it was highly sexualized,' Cyrus said during an appearance on the 'Every Single Album' podcast last week.
Four years after 'Bangerz,' Cyrus released an album called 'Younger Now,' with which she says she tried to play 'into this innocence.'
'If I'm younger now, if I'm less awake as this sexual woman publicly, then this is going to be the way that I can keep a happy home,' she shared.

JoJo Siwa Fires Back After Miley Cyrus Mocks Her Relationship And Identity: 'Not What The World Needs'
JoJo Siwa is clapping back at Miley Cyrus after the 'Wrecking Ball' singer poked fun at her queer identity and relationship. The remark, made in light of Siwa's relationship with 'Celebrity Big Brother' colleague, Chris Hughes, didn't sit well with fans and Siwa herself wasn't amused. Now, the pop star is setting the record straight about her identity, reminding everyone that her queerness isn't up for debate and Cyrus's supposed joke isn't what the world needs right now. Siwa has shared her thoughts on Cyrus's not-so-funny joke about her relationship with Hughes and her identity as an LGBTQ+ icon. On Thursday, June 12, the teen star took to her Instagram page with some pictures showcasing her love for Cyrus. The first slide was a throwback picture of Siwa from her fifth birthday celebration, featuring little Siwa standing behind a table with a pink cake on top. The table also featured multiple photos of Cyrus scattered throughout, indicating that the Grammy Award winner was her idol. The second snapshot showed the reality TV star in her teenage years posing with Cyrus. The 22-year-old wore a pink Jojo Siwa customized shirt with a pink bow tie on her blonde hair. She happily stood beside Cyrus, her hand wrapped around the star who was in a black sweater and beanie. In the third photo, Siwa showed just how much she loved the songwriter. She posed outside wearing a long-sleeved shirt, pointing at the front of the top, which had Cyrus' face printed on it. Jojo Siwa accompanied the photos with a lengthy caption, revealing she wasn't so pleased with the 32-year-old's joke. 'I was happy at my 5th birthday having a Miley themed party, and I'm still happy now at 22…if you know me, you know Miley is my day 1, grew up beyond inspired by her from 2 years old on… I wasn't sure how I felt about things for a couple of days… but I've started to come to some thoughts,' she began. Siwa further noted that while she believed Cyrus' comments were made as a joke, it wasn't funny. 'Not what the world, or myself need to hear anyday of the week,' she added. The dancer said she texted Cyrus after her joke and the star responded, 'All love. Always.' Siwa went further, hammering on the importance of self-love, acceptance, and happiness. 'People judge no matter what, and it can be very hard, especially when it comes from someone you love, and look up to, but if you feel happy and content with yourself, that's most important,' she noted. In no time, fans trooped to Siwa's comments section to share their opinions. Some fans applauded the young star for handling the situation well. 'Huge respect for JoJo for addressing things so publicly. Miley and other celebs just seem to mention JoJo to try and stay relevant at this point,' one person wrote. Another commented, 'What Miley said wasn't funny & if a joke, a very poor one!! The way you have handled what was said shows you're a much classier, caring person than others could ever wish to be.' Other fans condemned Cyrus's words, with one noting, 'It was a weird comment to make from another queer woman who dates predominantly men. Her relationships with men don't make her any less queer so why should yours.' Cyrus sparked outrage over the weekend during a pre-recorded World Pride appearance when she delivered a cheeky speech about Siwa's sexuality literally from inside a closet. 'Oh my God, I haven't been in here since sixth grade,' she joked per the Daily Mail, kicking off her message with trademark sass. As she celebrated Pride Month, she continued, 'Enjoy coming out of the closet if this Pride is the time for you… It shouldn't be a month — it should be a year, it should be infinite. Alright, I'm going back in to get some more pretzels and find JoJo Siwa and bring her back out.' The controversy surrounding Siwa's sexuality began during her stint on 'CBB.' During a discussion with co-star Danny Beard, the star revealed she was queer. 'I feel, like, so queer, do you know what I mean? I think that's the thing, I've always told myself I'm a lesbian, and I think being here I've realized: 'Oh, I'm not a lesbian, I'm queer.' And I think that's really cool,' she said per PEOPLE. In addition to her revelation, Siwa also became romantically involved with Hughes after leaving the house, leaving tongues wagging. Recall that Siwa had previously revealed she was a lesbian. However, irrespective of the public's opinion, Siwa believes sexuality is fluid and doesn't regret her decision to date Hughes.
