Miley Cyrus Addresses Accusations: 'Rude' Signing Event Explained

Miley Cyrus broke her silence Tuesday after fans accused her of being 'rude' and 'dismissive' during a signing event held at record store Rough Trade East in London last Saturday

SCANDAL ROCKS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY: MILEY CYRUS'S SHOCKING BEHAVIOR AT LONDON RECORD STORE LEAVES FANS FUMING!

In a shocking turn of events, pop superstar Miley Cyrus has been accused of being "rude" and "dismissive" towards fans during a signing event at London's iconic record store Rough Trade East. The drama unfolded last Saturday when the 32-year-old songstress and supermodel Naomi Campbell seemingly ignored several eager fans hoping for a glimpse or brief interaction.

But it wasn't just any ordinary fan encounter that went awry – it was an awkward display of celebrity etiquette, captured on video by fans who uploaded their experiences to Reddit. The viral clips show Miley and Naomi effortlessly chatting with each other while simultaneously ignoring the very people who had purchased her album and showed up to celebrate the release of their new single.

In fan footage uploaded to Reddit, the 32-year-old pop star (L) and Naomi Campbell (M) eagerly chatted with each other while seemingly ignoring several shy fans approaching them hoping for a smile or brief interaction

The comments section on Reddit was filled with outrage and disbelief as fans slammed Miley's behavior, with one user, @99TigerStripes, writing: "They bought her album and her behavior towards them is so inconsiderate and dismissive. I wonder if they also paid for the signing/photo op too."

But Miley wasn't about to let the drama get her down! In response to the backlash, she took to Instagram to post a slideshow of what appeared to be flawless fan interactions. The nine videos showed Miley and Naomi smiling and laughing with their fans, with captions that read: "We love you!"

However, eagle-eyed readers quickly noticed something fishy – the cameraman in each video was heard instructing fans to turn around, saying things like, "Right behind you for the picture!" It's clear that these interactions were staged, folks!

But don't just take our word for it! Naomi Campbell herself jumped on Instagram to praise Miley's "memory and graciousness" with their fans. She wrote: "We felt your love and adored meeting you." So what really went down at Rough Trade East?

As it turns out, the record store had requested no photos be taken due to the unexpected large turnout for the event – two whole weeks before the official release date of their new single, Every Girl You've Ever Loved. Miley's team must have known that this was going to be a hot ticket item, folks!

But we can't help but wonder: what would have happened if these fans had paid for a signing or photo op? Would Miley and Naomi still been so dismissive of their enthusiasm?

In other news, Naomi Campbell has had her own share of drama in recent years. Last year, the UK Charity Commission banned her from being a charity trustee until 2029 after investigating her shuttered organization Fashion for Relief. The investigation found evidence of mismanagement and misconduct, including the misuse of funds for personal expenses like luxury hotels, spa treatments, and cigarettes.

Naomi has since filed an appeal, insisting that she's "never been paid a fee for my participation in Fashion for Relief nor billed any personal expenses to the organization."

Meanwhile, Miley is making waves with her upcoming ninth studio album – but this time around, it's all about the visuals. She hosted a London screening of Something Beautiful: The Visual Album film last Saturday, gushing that she "never experienced the film like this before." Her formerly estranged father Billy Ray Cyrus even made an appearance, accompanied by his new girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley.

Cyrus explained that she and the 55-year-old nineties supermodel (R) were only supposed to be signing limited vinyl copies of their new single Every Girl You've Ever Loved - two full weeks ahead of the official release date on July 11

And in case you were wondering, Miley's album is getting a big production – and for good reason. After quitting touring in 2023, she's making up for lost time with a big release. With over 60.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify, it's no wonder she's pulling out all the stops to promote her new music.

So there you have it, folks! The drama that unfolded at Rough Trade East has left fans divided and wondering what really went down behind those staged fan interactions. Will Miley and Naomi continue to prioritize their own celebrity image over genuine connections with their fans? Only time will tell.

The three-time Grammy winner defended: 'The record store requested no photos due to the unexpected last-minute turn out. But we knew the night needed to be captured. Thank you [Vijat Mohindra] for snapping those in-the-moment shots. To everyone who came out to celebrate our single, we love you'

Indeed, a cameraman is heard in each video repeatedly instructing Miley and Naomi's fans to turn around: 'Right behind you for the picture!'

Cyrus' statement came the day after Campbell publicly praised her 'memory and graciousness' with 'our fans' whom she also thanked: 'We felt your love and adored meeting you'

The Streatham-born Brit suffered an embarrassing scandal last year when the Charity Commission in the UK banned her from being a charity trustee until 2029 following their investigation into her shuttered organization Fashion for Relief

Last Saturday, the Tennessee-born belter also hosted a London screening of Something Beautiful: The Visual Album film - hitting international theaters this Friday - and gushed that she 'never experienced the film like this before'
