Miley Cyrus is defending herself after she received some body criticism via Twitter. Miley’s on holiday in the Bahamas, and she’s been photographed in her bikini extensively. After some of the photos made the gossip site rounds, Miley tweeted “i just jiggled my thighs and they shook on their own for 3 mississippis no more late night lucky charms.” Then all hell broke loose. People responded with more criticisms of her body, even going so far as to call Miley “fat”. Miley then took the high road. She tweeted: “I have my flaws…stop with calling me f*t in post… I don’t even like the word.” It took me a second to figure out the word is “fat”. So, the gossip and tweets went from Miley acknowledging her “jiggling thighs” to a bunch of people calling her fat. This is why 16-year-old girls shouldn’t be on Twitter.

Miley Cyrus has hit the beach looking every inch the Hollywood star she has become at the tender age of 16. The Hannah Montana star is in the Bahamas soaking up the sun for a relaxing family holiday.

Pictured in a mix and match bikini set she is spotted at one point climbing on an inflatable banana boat for a high speed thrill. But her idyllic break was rudely interrupted when she was attacked via her Twitter page after she left a post commenting on her thighs.

The singer turned actress joked that she should give up eating sugary food at night after spotting her ‘jiggling thighs’.

But she hit back at her critics saying she was just a ‘normal girl’.

She wrote: ‘Talk all you want. I have my flaws. I’m a normal girl (sic) there’s things about my body I would change but stop with calling me f*t in post.’

‘I don’t even like the word. Those remarks that you hateful people use are fighting words. The ones that scar people and cause them to do damage to themselves or others.’

‘People that are so okay with being so hateful disgust me and need to spend last time on a gossip website and more time a. reading your bible b. reading stories/articles about what happens when cyber abuse and name calling happens. Kids hurt themselves.’

‘This is not something to be taken lightly. I know these ‘message boards’ are ‘no big deal’ to YOU but (it) is to the victim. This has got to stop!’

And in keeping with her sense of humour, Cyrus, who was recently in Britain added: ‘oh and ps if [your] thighs don’t jiggle go see a doctor. thanks’

“If your thighs don’t jiggle go see a doctor” is the best comeback ever. That should have been Miley’s entire message, because it’s true. That should be on t-shirts and bumper stickers. Oh, and just glancing at the pictures of Miley in her bikini, she looks fine and healthy. Why all the talk about thighs and fatness?

My affection for Miley comes and goes. Sometimes I think she’s the biggest brat in Hollywood, sometimes she seems like she’s actually trying to grow up to be a responsible, conscientious young woman. In other words, she’s a pretty normal teenager. And it really isn’t cool that people were harassing her and calling her fat. I’ll take Miley’s side on this one.
