Miley Cyrus is facing major backlash after fans accused her of acting “rude” and “snotty” during a recent signing event in London. The 31-year-old pop star, who was celebrating the release of her new single “Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved,” appeared alongside supermodel Naomi Campbell at a meet-and-greet at Rough Trade record store, but fans say the duo seemed more interested in each other than the crowd who came to see them.
The event, part of the rollout for Cyrus’ “Something Beautiful” film and its accompanying vinyl release, quickly became a disappointment for many who attended. Fan-taken footage shows Cyrus and Campbell chatting animatedly and posing together while signing autographs, but largely ignoring the fans waiting in line.
Several attendees reported that the pair barely made eye contact, offered no personal interaction, and left many fans with subpar photos where neither star was even looking at the camera. “It felt like we were just there to take their picture,” one fan wrote. Another added, “They were doing a meet-and-greet with each other, not with us.”

After the event, Cyrus took to Instagram to share her own recap, posting glamorous photos and a short video from inside the store, along with a gushing message to Campbell. “Thank you for celebrating the Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved vinyl release day with me,” she wrote. “Laughing with you is my favorite. I’ll miss you until we reunite. Love you forever.” She also thanked the fans who showed up, writing, “Adored meeting all of you… If you missed it, go buy the vinyl now!” But not everyone was feeling the love.
The comments section of her post quickly filled with critical messages calling out what many felt was performative gratitude. “They’re both awful,” one user wrote. “I would expect that from Naomi Campbell, but Miley is incredibly rude and snotty here. And it’s fully intentional.” Another added bluntly, “Cyrus the Virus.”
Others chimed in to express their disappointment in the singer’s apparent disregard for the people who support her career. “So rude! That is why I will never waste a penny on these ungrateful celebrities,” one commenter fumed. “They do not care about you! They only want your money!” “Miley needs some good press, especially since this much-anticipated album flopped hard,” another person wrote. “If you ignore your fans, you won’t have fans for long.”
While Cyrus has yet to address the backlash directly, the incident has sparked a wave of conversation online about the responsibilities celebrities have to their fans, and whether a few glamorous Instagram posts are enough to compensate for cold in-person interactions.
