Miley Cyrus continues to feel disheartened due to the ongoing disagreement with Sinead O'Connor.
Title: Miley Cyrus Now Admits She Mishandled Her Feud with Late Sinead O'Connor
In an unapologetic turn, Miley Cyrus admitted that she messed up her disagreement with the late Sinead O'Connor back in 2013. The kerfuffle sprang up over Miley's music video for the song Wrecking Ball.
Sinead O'Connor, the iconic Irish singer, expressed concerns about the explicit content in Miley's video where she could be seen licking a sledgehammer and riding a steel ball. Miley, who became a household name after playing Hannah Montana, felt the criticism like a knock on her well-earned fame.
Going down memory lane, Miley confessed to the New York Times that her response to Sinead bums her out. She even asserted that her juvenile reaction to Sinead's concerns was not amicable.
Sinead's open letter to Miley read, "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." Sinead took a jab at the music industry as a whole, claiming that it would exploit artists like Miley.
In a bid to show maturity, Miley initially dismissed Sinead's concerns, aligning them with actress Amanda Bynes' mental health struggles. However, Miley now admits that she responded in a childish manner.
Miley shared her thoughts with the New York Times, "I responded in a way that I would never as an adult, but that was also an adult talking to a young person." She went on to explain how her perspective has altered, "My experience was not that the music industry didn't care about me. I understand the music industry."
Sinead, who tragically passed away in 2023, believed that the music industry didn't care about artists and would commodify them for profit. Her fears for Miley revolved around the industry's attempts to sell her body.
The feud is an essential aspect of both artists' public narratives today. Miley, reflecting on her past actions, focuses on her personal growth and musical ventures. The Flowers hitmaker has learned valuable lessons from her encounter with Sinead O'Connor.
