Overview

• On the Reclaiming With Monica Lewinsky podcast, Cyrus said she still sees unflattering memes when she puts on a bathing suit and therefore opts for tankinis and shorts.
• She recalled joking with her sister, who called her tankini look “what a grandma wears to the beach” but also praised her for making it cool.
• Cyrus linked her self-doubt to the widespread trolling following her nude-lingerie and twerking performance with Robin Thicke at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
• She said her provocative image at that time caused some personal relationships to fall apart because partners were uncomfortable with her public sexual expression.
• Despite her guarded beachwear, the singer recently stepped out in a fully sheer black dress in New York City to promote her new album Something Beautiful.
