Miley Cyrus reveals deep regret about Sinead O'Connor spat
Miley Cyrus has reflected on her public fallout with the late Sinéad O'Connor and said the interaction still 'bums her out'. The spat began in 2013, when O'Connor took aim at Cyrus' Wrecking Ball music video – which had sparked comparisons to Nothing Compares 2 U. Over a decade on, the Something Beautiful hitmaker regrets hitting out in the way she did but explained to The New York Times why she was so hurt at the time. In Wrecking Ball's emotive moments, the camera focuses on Cyrus' face as she sings with a single tear running down her face – her buzzed hair very much giving Nothing Compares. However, the infamous video is most remembered as it saw a then 20-year-old Cyrus swinging naked from a wrecking ball and licking a sledgehammer. At the time, O'Connor shared an open letter of warning to the Disney star, writing: 'The music business doesn't give a s**t about you, or any of us.' She posted the letter on her website, stating it was fuelled by the 'spirit of motherliness and with love.' 'I am extremely concerned for you that those around you have led you to believe, or encouraged you in your own belief, that it is in any way 'cool' to be naked and licking sledgehammers in your videos. She continued: 'They will prostitute you for all you are worth, and cleverly make you think its what YOU wanted … and when you end up in rehab as a result of being prostituted, 'they' will be sunning themselves on their yachts in Antigua, which they bought by selling your body and you will find yourself very alone.' Cyrus took to X – then Twitter – to mock O'Connor's mental health, comparing her to Amanda Bynes, who was in rehab at the time. The Hannah Montana actress shared screenshots of O'Connor's jumbled tweets asking for help finding a psychiatrist with the caption: 'Before there was Amanda Bynes… There was…' O'Connor was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and complex post-traumatic stress disorder as well as being agoraphobic. 'I responded in a way that I would never as an adult, but that was also an adult talking to a young person,' Cyrus, now 32, told The New York Times. While she acknowledged this misstep, she explained her experience of fame is incredibly different to that of others. 'I would say that feels like her experience being reflected on to me but that's not my experience,' she reflected. 'My experience was not that the music industry didn't care about me.' Cyrus explained that her exposure to the industry came at a young age, partly due to her father Billy Ray Cyrus' fame as well as her godmother Dolly Parton. 'It's really hard to train yourself to know what to expect, everything that fame can bring but I already had the handbook because they did the same thing to my dad and to Dolly,' she continued. 'I understand the business I'm in, I'm in the record business. When I sign a contract, they're buying records that they wish to sell, so I understand that I am setting myself up to become merchandise. I've committed to them that I want to not only bring success for myself but also to them. So I understand the music industry.' Cyrus previously said it had 'deeply hurt' her to receive that backlash, particularly from 'another woman' in the industry. 'I had no idea about the fragile mental state that she was in,' she voiced in her ABC show Endless Summer Vacation: Continued (Backyard Sessions). 'I was also only 20 years old,' the Flowers hitmaker said. 'So I could really only wrap my head around mental illness so much and all that I saw was that another woman had told me that this idea was not my idea.' More Trending Throughout her life, O'Connor was a vocal activist against the music industry, rejecting the advice of her label with her shaved head and combat boots. While Cyrus may not have felt the pressures the Feel So Different singer rallied against, many others hailed her as a feminist icon. O'Connor died on July 26, 2023, at the age of 56. It was later ruled that her cause of death was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma. Got a story?

Scottish island ‘gem' gets first 'glamorous' wine bar with stunning marina views
Over the Easter weekend, residents of a Scottish island raised a glass to the opening of its first wine bar. The Sulking Room is a new social destination on the island. It is located in the Rothesay old town hall building, which was designed for entertaining and has hosted many shindigs in its almost 150 year history. Picture: weshootpeoplephotography Nestled in the heart of Rothesay with views over the marina and across to the hills of Cowal, The Sulking Room promises to be more than just a bar. Inspired by the French word for boudoir, it offers a space historically meant for women to retreat, gather themselves, and emerge empowered. True to its name, the bar is designed as a glamorous, intimate haven where everyone — and especially women — can feel welcome and comfortable. Inside, guests are transported into another age of indulgence and glamour. Interiors include plush velvets, rich textures and eye-catching chandeliers. Outside seating invites guests to sip and savour while watching the yachts on the water until sunset. Picture: weshootpeoplephotography With an extensive, carefully curated wine list, expertly trained bar staff offering specialist cocktails, Isle of Bute speciality coffee, and attentive, high-end service, The Sulking Room is ideal for after-work drinks, date nights, and all-out nights of celebration. To compliment a glass of wine or evening cocktail, beautifully presented cheese boards and artisan foods are also available. The concept and design have been over six years in the making, lovingly brought to life by local entrepreneur Erin Murphy — already known for her popular food business and shop Gather Deli on the island. The Sulking Room is her latest vision, and Ms Murphy said 'We've been overwhelmed by the support we've had for Gather, including our recent sold-out Supper Clubs, so we're really excited to bring this latest addition to the island for everyone to enjoy' Skye Edwards from the band Morcheeba and her family have spent the last four summers holidaying on Bute with Erin, her partner Chris and their children Argyle (3) and Lonach (2). She attended the opening of the bar and sang with Gather's chef manager David Murphy - who is also behind the launch of The Sulking Room. As well as singing Down by the Sea, Skye performed a reworked cover of Nothing Compares - singing Nothing Compares to Bute. The Sulking Room is located at 19 East Princes St, Rothesay, Isle of Bute.
