Miley Cyrus has had to clarify her comments after stating that women "don't have to be gay" during an Instagram Live.

The Instagram Live took place on 20 October, and saw Cyrus speaking with her new boyfriend Cody Simpson. During the video, Cyrus stated, "There are good men out there, guys, don’t give up. You don’t have to be gay, there are good people with dicks out there, you’ve just got to find them."

Cyrus added, "You’ve got to find a dick that’s not a dick, you know? I always thought I had to be gay, because I thought all guys were evil, but it’s not true. There are good people out there that just happen to have dicks. I’ve only ever met one, and he’s on this live."
