Miley Cyrus 'Wrecking Ball' Singer's Sister, Brandi, Defends Her 'She is SO True To Herself and 100 Percent Authentic' [VIDEO]
The older sister of We Can't Stop singer Miley Cyrus has stood up for her new and controversial image.
During an interview for the December issue of Nationalist magazine, Brandi Cyrus, 26, who is also on the cover, said her sister is just now getting breaking out into who she has been all along.
"I think that Miley is getting a chance to be who she really is, after years of having to be a fictional character on TV," said Brandi of Miley. She rose to fame by playing Hannah Montana on the hit Disney Channel series from 2006 to 2011. She went on to say that Miley, who just turned 21 on Nov. 23, is just at the beginning of her journey of finding herself.
"I'm 26 and I'm still learning who I am and who I want to be. Miley is in the very beginning of that journey."
Still, Brandi said that despite living in the media's eye, Miley has managed not to lose who she has become so far.
"She is SO true to herself and 100 percent authentic. Which is a rare trait to find in people in general, but especially in the entertainment industry where everyone is held to such unrealistic standards and trying to make an impression and be perceived a certain way."
Brandi opened up about her personal life and where she stands when it comes to love and romance.
"I've had my fair share of relationships, including some long-distances ones. The heart department is messy, therefore I tread lightly."
Brandi also works as a correspondent for Spin Media. Take a look at her interviewing Miley at the 2013 American Music Awards.
