“What happened to me, basically just after Miley and I went our separate ways, I thought, OK, my life’s just kinda going back to the way it normally was for me when I’m on my own. I had no expectations that anyone would give a s–t about me by myself. I had no plan in place. I didn’t think about anything. For example, I was dealing with a lot emotionally at that time, obviously, and I really wasn’t going out anywhere. I was just staying home,” she admitted.

She went on to say she was shocked that the paparazzi were still following her.

“I just didn’t anticipate anything like this happening. I’m used to it when I’m, like, with Brody [Jenner] or when I was with her, but never when I’m on my own. My mind is just swirling.”

She went on to say she tried to say something “that was kinda stupid,” only to see headlines about how she was “out on the town, partying with a mystery man just two weeks after her breakup.”

“I was just so mortified…the narrative was so not what the actual situation was and that was such a wake up call for me…I had always gone with the flow or whatever people say they say, I don’t care.”

“In relationships especially, I have always taken a back seat a little bit and sort of trusted the person I’m with to run the show, especially publicly because it’s never really been something that I wanted. I never really wanted to put myself out there that way,” she admitted.
