It has been a big year for Brody Jenner, in good ways and in bad ways. The Hills reboot has brought him back into the very public eye again, but recently, the world's been talking about him for a very specific reason.
It has been a big year for Brody Jenner, in good ways and in bad ways. The Hills reboot has brought him back into the very public eye again, but recently, the world's been talking about him for a very specific reason.
This was extra scandalous as, at the time, it hadn't yet been announced that Miley and her husband, Liam Hemsworth, had separated. Many still found it to be disrespectful even after their split was announced.
Miley and Liam were also a longtime couple, having initially gotten together in 2009. The two couples were reportedly friends, which makes the pictures even more shocking.
On a post he'd shared on Instagram, he had joked that he was going to add to the scandal by "holding hands with Liam on the beach."
Replying to his comment, Miley said, "Go take a nap in your truck and cool off #HotGirlSummer."
In a now-deleted comment left on a picture Kaitlynn shared of her and Miley, Brody had seemed to be on board with the duo's outing, saying, "Hot girl summer" with a fire emoji.
He wrote a lengthy Instagram post, saying, "There is far too much negativity being directed at someone I love and care about very much. I feel the need to set the story straight. Kaitlynn and I have been best friends for 6 years, and we continue to be."
"Kaitlynn is a wonderful person, beautiful and fun to be with, always a positive force in my life. We decided the best move for both of us was to keep our love for each other strong but move forward separately with our live," he said.
Brody's mature statement sounds similar to Liam's, who wrote on his Instagram shortly after the scandal broke, "Just a quick note to say that Miley and I have recently separated and I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward. "
We stan mature and respectful kings!
She left a comment on the post of just a simple heart emoji, which is more than I've ever commented on any of my ex's Instagram posts, so she's beating me on that front.
Including one persistent rumor that Liam had spoken to a news outlet about the divorce, saying, "You don't know what it's like."
He wrote, "This is a private matter and I have not made, nor will I be making, any comments to any journalists or media outlets. Any reported quotes attributed to me are false."
