Miley Cyrus said: “A year ago, almost to this exact date, the media tried to tell my story for me, and control my narrative, and I’m just not accepting that.
“So today, it came out that me and my boyfriend have broken up.
“It was confirmed by a ‘reliable source’ even though no one is reliable in a relationship except the individuals who are participating in it.
“But right now, two halves can’t make a whole and we’re individually just working on ourselves to become the people that we wanna be, like everybody else at this age.”
