Recently there have been rumors that Miley Cyrus has been cutting herself, which were causing fans some concern. But now the star has responded in a rather unusual way, by pretending to cut her wrists. Read more here.
Miley’s friend Tweeted this photo yesterday of Cyrus putting a razor to her wrist in a bathroom. The message of the shot is unclear, though it clearly involves the rumors about her cutting. Miley has yet to comment on it, leaving fans and the public in general confused and even worried. [via The Superficial]
What do you think of this photo? What point is Miley trying to get across?

I think she’s being a smart-ass about it. There would have been a much better way to approach that; use it as a way to demote self mutilation instead of promoting it. >.< Way to speak to the youth and your fans, Miley!
guest
I think she’s trying to be sarcastic, but I don’t think she’s doing herself any favors. She may not be cutting herself, but this is not a great way to put those rumors to rest, nor is she showing a positive example to her fans.

and of course she’s not wearing a bra

Meh I was/am a cutter/hitter… This isn’t offensive… Cutting has nothing to do with what the “stars” do. At least for me it doesn’t. And cutting isn’t only an adolescent problem. IT’s a heavy and personal subject that at least from my experience with other self harmers has nothing to do with other peoples opinions about it. Peoples comments, jokes, and worry don’t have a sway in our choice unless they are very close to us. (Which is very seldom.)
& lol @ the bra comment.

Wow, Classy.
Its obvious shes mocking the rumors, but this really isn’t funny. It’s sad.
guest
@MistyEyes22@xanga - True but unfortunately there are those young people out there who will see the wonderful Miley Cyrus or “Hanna Montana” “cutting herself” and want to try it. =/ So even if it doesn’t impact those, on a personal level, who already self-mutilate, let’s not drag a whole other generation of cutters into it.
guest
She’s an idiot.
guest
@MommaFish89@xanga - what you said.
this sends a HORRIBLE message to these impressionable young fans.
she should be ashamed. it’s not something to joke about. i wonder what demi lovato thinks about it….
guest
if any child is dumb enough to cut themselves just because Miley Cyrus is doing it, they already need mental help. personally, i like the picture. anyone who’s discussed the rumors has trivialized the issue of cutting far more than she ever can.
guest
ummmm…. she isn’t exposing her wrist… that’s the top of her wrist, not where people stereotypically cut. I think all you psychos, haters and low-lives are blowing a mis-posed picture way out of proportion.
guest
WTF is she thinking about putting a pic up of it, dont she no there are thousands off young girls who take her for inspiration, it bad enough hearing about it weather she doing it or not but how is this ment to help girls with a actual picture of doing it, think she s gone to far now weather it was for a message to the public or not, when someone as famous as her and no s thousands of fans are watching and adore her she should think before she acts…..
guest
She should come up with a better way to get attention than pretending to be a troubled teenager.
guest
I think that’s pretty stupid, especially when she’s supposed to be a “role model”.
guest
I don’t think cutting is a “bad” thing (it’s a problem, but not yours, unless you cut) or admitting you do it is. You shouldn’t require people to hide the truth, she has a right to express herself.
Kids (her fans) need to be taught to not do as others do, be listened to and taught ways to deal with pain. Otherwise they are likely to start doing messy things anyway.
My problem with the pic is that I feel like she isn’t being real about it. I feel like this is an ‘artsy’ attempt to raise awareness, but there would have been better ways.
Maybe she wants to provoke those who spread rumors. Or she is just being a bitch and sort of making fun of it (that was my first guess).
Of course it could be a scream for help too or a way to ‘test’ reactions in case she admits her problem.
You know what, i don’t really care what she does.
guest
You know what? This picture makes me sick. Thousands of kids are seeing this right now and though WE know she is OBVIOUSLY not being serious, we must also understand that KIDS can’t differentiate sarcasm in matters like this, they are too pure. On top of that, being that I used to have a problem with said actions, I believe this photo is very triggering.
But worst of all, thanks to the wonders of social networking, media, and desire for readers and ratings, this pic has become VIRAL and we have all become part of the problem.
Instead of the picture merely spreading among Miley fans, it is now ALL over the internet for EVERYONE to see… Including your kids, too. Good job.

She’s holding up a bracelet whist wearing it to show it off… she’s not self harming. Read the other reports that have been published, and once you realise it’s a bracelet it’s fairly obvious. Calm yo tits people (no pun intended)…
guest
Does this girl not have a PR rep?! There was no need to go about addressing the issue this way. It was an opportunity for her to raise awareness and speak out against self-harm, as she is a role model for many vulnerable young girls, but she let it slip through her fingers. Also, why is she always caught without a bra?
Anyway, you can look at other recent paparazzi photos of her where her arms are bare. There are no scar marks, so if she were cutting, it’s somewhere that’s usually covered up.
guest
The only point she was trying to get across is that she’s dumb.
guest
i actually can’t tell what she’s doing.

I’m pretty sure if she were actually cutting herself she wouldn’t be taking pictures of herself like this, even if it is fake. I mean, look at Demi Lovato, she tried her best to keep her cutting secret.
guest
I think its fucking hilarious
guest
Miley willl be just fine..she just got herself a huge ass rock of an engagement ring..she is in the pre wedding gotta be perfect and skinny mode of her life right now.
guest
She’s at the “taking pictures of herself with sharp objects” phase of being Lindsay Lohan.
guest
@annamariuhh@xanga - Haha! I totally did not even notice that until you mentioned it. xD
guest
She’s doing it to get attention, of course. I don’t even know why she’s famous anymore (other than trying too hard to look like she’s from the 90s and being skinny.).
guest
i feel as if this has something to do with Demi Lovato and her recovery… or Miley got bored one night and decided to freak all of her fans out to get attention. Either way her reason must be pretty damn out there.
guest
lmao!!! it is a bracelet.!!!
guest
Nipples.
guest
Smfh
guest
lol I wanna see the link to the friends twitter!!!!

For a celebrity, she seems to have many nights of free time where she takes pics of herself and tweets. I feel like I have more of a life than her.

I just hate when people trivialize it…anyone, not just her. I think we all know she’s obnoxious aha
guest
@annamariuhh@xanga - i uh…don’t see how that’s relevant?

And I thought she was pathetic before…
guest
i thought that was a handcuff…
guest
Why does there always have to be a message behind things? Isn’t it a bracelet or something anyway?
guest
Her friend is the one who posted the picture. What the hell?
guest
@splinter1591@xanga - Lol!
guest
She’s so pathetic and definitely seeking attention by trying to be “controversial” with her sarcasm.
guest
what a stupid disgusting disrespectful bitch, goddamit i’ve never hated someone more than i hate her & not even just for this. she would be dumb enough to post something like this, but it isn’t funny when someone dIes from it right? i find this so highly offensive, such a disrespect to REAL GIRLS who havE REAL SHIT TO WORRY ABOUT.

I don’t think much of it. I probably would have reacted the same way. She’s got this look on her face like, “Really guys? Have you seen my engagement ring?”
Hah. No, but, seriously, it’s whatever. I love this girl.
and as for it being offensive to cutters, I cannot vouch for them because I’ve never done it, but if she had donned brown paint and a gold chain, I wouldn’t be offended. Just sayin’.

Smart – maybe some of the pop culture following automatons will dye off after viewing this photo. We don’t need them anyway!

You can also kinda see her nips through her shirt
guest
She’s obviously making fun of all the rumors. Meaning, they aren’t true! I don’t know why her friend even took the picture AND posted it on twitter. Bad call.
guest
@flapper_femme_fatale@xanga - AGREED! 100%
