Miley Cyrus is done with red carpets and publicists

PR reps are typically indispensible to the celebs that employ them.But Miley Cyrus isn’t like most celebrities.

After years of being stuck in the Hollywood system, the 23-year-old told Ellethat she’s had enough, and has not employed a publicist since last year. She’s also given up red carpet appearances, noting in the same interview: “Why, when people are starving, am I on a carpet that’s red? Because I’m ‘important’? Because I’m ‘famous’? That’s not how I roll. It’s like a skit—it’s like Zoolander.”

These days, Cyrus says she uses her own social media channels and enjoys a direct relationship with her fans. The DIY movement has a new champion in Miley, but afterScott Disick’s Instagram faux pauxback in May, some should probably stick with the professionals.
