Madonna has lent support to pop star Miley Cyrus, who has been accused of cheating on her former husband Liam Hemsworth. After Miley on Thursday took to Twitter to deny all rumours about cheating on Hemsworth, saying she has nothing to hide, Madonna responded to Miley's post, to say "there is no need to apologise". "Thank God!! You are human! A woman who has lived. No need to apologise," Madonna wrote.

Earlier in the day, Miley wrote: "I can accept that the life I've chosen means I must live completely open and transparent with my fans who I love, and the public, 100 per cent of the time. What I cannot accept is being told I'm lying to cover up a crime I haven't committed. I have nothing to hide. It is no secret that I was into partying in my teens and early 20s. I have not only smoked, but advocated for weed, I've experimented with drugs, my biggest song to date is about dancing on molly and snorting lines in the bathroom."
