Miley Cyrus Reveals Paper Phobia on Jimmy Kimmel Live

She says the aversion has intensified, prompting her to consider professional help such as hypnosis.

Overview

  • In the TV appearance, she said she refuses to open mailed letters and cannot read printed newspapers because the sight and feel of paper makes her nauseous.
  • She described the reaction as a bona fide phobia and stated that she needs help to address it.
  • At home, her fiancé Maxx Morando opens mail and packages outside to keep paper out of their living space.
  • She traced the origin to childhood car trips between Nashville and Toronto, recalling brothers rubbing paper to provoke her.
  • She said tablets and e‑readers have eased everyday challenges, while winter brings extra discomfort when people handle paper with dry hands.
