Miley Cyrus appeared to diss her estranged husband Liam Hemsworth on Instagram yesterday, saying she “thought all men were evil” until she met Cody Simpson.
Streaming to fans live from her home in LA, the star invited Aussie boyfriend Simpson to join the chat from Sydney when she made the dig at Hemsworth, her former partner of almost a decade.

Gushing over her new beau to her millions of followers, the 26-year-old singer said she “thought she had to be gay” because she thought “all guys were evil” before she struck up a relationship with Simpson, seemingly a thinly veiled attack on Hemsworth’s character.
The pair started dating earlier this month following her split from Aussie actor Hemsworth in August, and her fling with Kaitlynn Carter, which ended in September.
They have been flaunting their romance on Instagram since they were first pictured together.
“There are good people out there that just happen to have d**ks. I’ve only ever met one, and he’s on this live,’ she said, referring to 22-year-old Simpson.
Re-iterating her point, she continued: “There are good men out there, guys, don’t give up,” before suggesting she only dated women because she had been turned off men.
“You don’t have to be gay, there are good people with d**ks out there, you’ve just got to find them. You’ve got to find a d**k that’s not a d**k, you know?,” she said.
Simpson laughed in the split-screen as Cyrus made her point, before telling her he missed her.
But others were less than impressed at what Cyrus seemed to be implying: That being gay was a choice, and that “evil men” had turned her.
Damn. In 30 seconds @MileyCyrus managed to burn up all goodwill she'd ever built with queer and trans people.

Not all "guys" have dicks, Miley. Thought you knew better.
You "had to be gay" because men are bad? Do you not realize what an anti-lesbian trope that is?
Gross.

Miley, this is so not it. Women donât âhave to be gayâ because they âcanât find a good person with a d*ckâ.

Donât use the queer community as a stop-gap because you couldnât find a boyfriend.
People arenât queer because they âgave upâ on men.
This is so insulting. pic.twitter.com/lAzcEjHRcB

In the wake of the furore, Cyrus has today issued a follow-up statement, declaring that it has “always been my priority to protect the LGBTQ community I am part of.”

The Gold Coast-born singer, who has long been a friend of Cyrus’, arrived in Sydney yesterday ahead of last night’s The Masked Singer finale, in which he was revealed to be the winner.
In the weeks since they announced their romance, they have been sharing endless snaps documenting the early days of their relationship.
Just last week, Simpson posted a risque photo of Cyrus with her hand down his pants, prompting an awkward response from his mum.
Fans were shocked to learn of the Slide Away singer’s split from Hemsworth after they’d been married for fewer than 12 months.
The two met on the set of The Last Song in 2010, the beginning of an on-again, off-again relationship spanning nine years.
