Noah Cyrus is done.
The singer took to social media the internet trolls who tried to bring her down after getting engaged.
“The internet and commentators have been working hard to get joy, love and happiness from me since I announced something so pure and happy for myself and my life,” the “July” singer wrote on Thursday via her Instagram story – just three days after announcing her engagement to Pinkus.
Cyrus, 23, said in a dark background text that the internet trolls were “the same people” who attacked him for “face and body” when he was just 11 years old.
She added that these hateful comments led her to believe she “did not deserve to live” because she was “not good enough” at the time and didn’t meet the “beauty standards” of trolls.
“Today I remembered once again how deeply the internet screwed up and how it turned me against myself and led me to leadership. [sic] I believed that I should kill myself, that I was not worth living, that I was suicidal and addicted to drugs.”

However, the singer shared that she feels “lucky” to be in a place where people’s negative thoughts about her don’t “trigger” her to “hurt” her. [herself] once again.”
“We live in 2023, we must stop judging people by who they love, what they look like, where they come from and how they live their lives,” Cyrus wrote in a later Story post.
Noah has detailed his struggles with depression and anxiety several times in the past.
Prior to the release of her single “Lonely” in 2019, the singer partnered with the Ad Council to openly discuss her battle with depression.
“I felt stuck in this place that I couldn’t get out of for a while. “I felt like I had no control over my life,” the singer said.
A year later, on her birthday, Cyrus wrote via Instagram that she wasn’t sure she would “be here” to see 21.
“Every day is work when it comes to your sanity and personal battles. Every day won’t be hell and every day won’t be perfect. I’m still figuring it out,” he wrote in a post that has since been deleted.
Speaking to her fans, she said, “Thank you for understanding how hard it was for me to grow up in public. Thank you for your support and for continuing to grow with me.”
The “Young & Sad” singer also opened up in July about her past struggle with addiction and how accessible drugs were to her as she grew into the limelight.
“When I felt it was possible to silence everything for a second and numb your pain, it was over. It kind of turns into a dark, bottomless pit,” he told Rolling Stone.
Noah has been in “recovery” since 2020.
“I wake up in the morning and I can look in the mirror and go about my day without hating myself. I am able to relax and nurture myself.”
