Miley Cyrus Says Worsening Paper Phobia Is Disrupting Daily Life

She says the worsening aversion will prompt therapy such as EMDR or hypnosis.

Overview

  • During a Dec. 4 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Cyrus disclosed a severe fear of paper and repeatedly gagged while discussing it.
  • She identified dry hands touching paper as a key trigger and said cardboard, including Amazon packages, is the most intolerable.
  • Cyrus avoids opening letters and reading physical books or newspapers, relying on digital devices and messages instead.
  • She said the condition is getting worse and plans to seek treatment, citing EMDR or hypnosis after previously finding EMDR helpful for stage fright.
  • Her fiancĂ©, Maxx Morando, helps manage triggers by opening packages outside, a workaround she joked factored into their engagement.
