Controversy[]
Grooming allegations[]
In January 2023, a Twitter user helloindiigoo came forward with how Cyrus had groomed her.[3] In her Twitlonger, she stated that Cyrus has had toxic relationships since he was 13 years old. Indigo then says that in in late 2019, she met cyrus through a friend. In early 2020, they started a relationship when indigo was 15 and Cyrus was 17. Indigo says that they broke up in 2022. Cyrus got with another girl named Italia who he stayed in a relationship for only 3 years. Indigo said that Cyrus would get underage fans on his discord servers into private calls and slowly built a relationship with them and then ask for sexual favors and nudes.
In the twitlonger, Indigo also attached imgur links to DMs and private messages of Cyrus cheating on his ex-girlfriend with several other women,[4][5] being inappropriate with minors as young as young as 12 when he was 18.[6] Amongst these images was a phone call where Cyrus admitted to sending nudes of himself to a minor.[7][3] Another Twitter user compiled Snapchat DMs of Cyrus and his 12-13 year old victim.[8] Many former friends of Cyrus such as Optimus, Pancho, and Diesel patches disavowed him.[9][10] Cyrus made one last video called "i hurt a lot of people" saying he would get therapy and mental help for what he did, before privating all his YouTube videos, and then deleting his YouTube channnel.[11]
On May 2023, Cyrus would return to YouTube on a burner account and make a video titled "STAR 67 RESPONSE?? *WIT PROOF + PHONE CALL*", in which he claimed that while most of the allegations against him were true, but the DMs and story in regards to the victim who was twelve years old were false.[12] Then saying that the allegations of emotional abuse were true, but he never sexually interacted with anyone more than 3 years younger than himself. In August 2024, Cyrus' response was debunked by Youtuber stormy skeleton in a video titled "Cyrus | Commentary's Creepiest Youtuber (Wifiskeleton / Star 67)", showing proof that the accusers Cherri and Jesse were not lying. He even reached out to Cherri to ask about the allegations.[13] On March 1, 2025, Stormy released another video titled "Cyrus Response Video (Wifiskeleton)".[14]
