Cyrus, 28, said she was drinking and doing drugs while people thought she was living a “fairy tale.”.

It’s ironic, the singer noted, as the media assumed she had it totally together when she was with Hemsworth and released Younger Now in 2017.

The media likes to have my hair or what I look like be the point of reference for my sanity.

I did take ayahuasca, and I really, really liked that, but I don’t think I would do it again,” Cyrus said, later adding she’s “really good at quitting things.”.

To me, fun is any time I feel like I really display or I really reach my full potential.

"At that time, my experimentation with drugs and booze and the circle of people around me was not fulfilling or sustainable," Cyrus said.

Letitia Wright is speaking out after facing criticism for posting an anti-vaccination video on social media.

On Wednesday night, Chet Hanks joined Clubhouse and created the chatroom “All Love.” The actor, who’s a descendant of Hollywood royalty and perpetual fave Tom Hanks, is one of five or six recognizable names you might find browsing Clubhouse—the audio-only, invite-exclusive platform—on any given day.Chet Hanks has made a decent career of his own after stumbling out of the blocks the way most children of famous people do.

At the Golden Globes in January, Hanks set social media ablaze with a clip of him mimicking Jamaican patois on the red carpet.

The responses to his antics ranged from genuine delight at him amplifying Jamaican culture in this decidedly not-Jamaican space to taunts about the middle Hanks’ seemingly endless, winding journey into Black identity.

(During his tenure as the rapper “Chet Haze,” he freely used the N-word, and later apologized for it.)As he kicked off his “All Love” room, however, he faced the critique from Jamaicans and others that he was using what’s considered Black lingo without meaningfully engaging with Black struggle.

It’s a problem many white admirers (and usurpers) of Black culture face: how can they benefit from the cool factor that the culture endows while paying none of the cost?YouTube Star Gabi DeMartino Accused of Selling ‘Child Porn’ Video of Herself on OnlyFans for $3Clubhouse faces a similar dilemma.

In the past week alone, Black celebrities like Tyrese Gibson, Jermaine Dupri, Kevin Hart, and Tiffany Haddish have injected rocket fuel into its growth.

What was once an experiment in changing the shape and tenor of social media conversation has quickly transformed into: “What is Clubhouse, and how can it make a billion dollars?” The creators of Clubhouse, Rohan Seth and Paul Davison, regularly appear on the app in “Welcome” rooms and other open forums acting as gentle custodians of their invention.Here’s how it works: A Clubhouse member needs to invite a new member in order for them to sign up.

I’d seen the conversations about Clubhouse on Twitter and equally dreaded the prospect of not getting an invitation and entering the fray once I did.

I have pessimistic few expectations of social media platforms and had heard murmurs that Clubhouse was another clout-chasing, self-aggrandizing venue for the loudest voices in the room but not necessarily the wisest.When I first logged in, I saw a Joe Budden-led room that made me frown.

The podcast host and former rapper is an already ubiquitous presence on my feeds, and it’s not for his sage takes on modern culture.

Other roommates remained in a kind of social media purgatory, listening to the mainstage speakers but unable to comment.

Unlike Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or YouTube, conversations on Clubhouse are only live

Between these dust-ups and the appearance of disgraced music exec Russell Simmons in an October chat, one wonders whether the trade-off between scruples and omnipresence is inevitable.The sheen of Clubhouse fully flattened when Kevin Hart joined a chatroom called “Is Kevin Hart funny??” on Friday night

That created the kind of one-way communication that characterizes social media now: the more prominent users preside over a throng of followers who tend to reinforce what they’re saying and deepen the echo chamber; opposing voices get drowned out

Hanks meant no harm, they opined, and everyone was taking his foray into Black culture and Jamaican language “way too serious.” What those coddling takes miss, however, is the history and context of unpaid service and absent attribution

That happens on an individual level, like Elvis Presley or Vanilla Ice thieving songs and language for fame, and it happens at a systemic level, like corporations using Black English to feed their brand impression goals on Twitter

Although Hanks and others would like to believe that identity is fungible and there for the taking, the long history of erasure is finally coming to bear in the present

Clubhouse can’t exist in a vacuum, and the more it grows, the more its inventors will have to face the same prickly debates of comments past.As Hanks exited the room last night, several others formed to debrief
