Noah Cyrusis hitting back at haters who tried to tear her down after her engagement news.

“Since i’ve announced something so pure and happy for me and my life the internet and commenters have been working so hard to take the joy, love and happiness from me,” the 23-year-old singer wrote in two posts on her Instagram Story on Thursday, theNew York Post’s Page Six reported.

The emotional posts — which are no longer available — were written in white text over a dark background and came just three days after Cyrusannounced her engagement to fashion designer Pinkus. They revealed a frustration towards users labeling her as “ugly” and “commenting on my face and body as you all did when i was just 11-12 years old.. when i was still forming my brain."

“We live in 2023 we have GOT to stop judging people for who they love, what they look like, where they come from, and how THEY live THEIR lives.” she continued, adding that she was “sick of it” and that “people are losing their lives to these types of words."

Her candid post was a stark contrast to the joyfulInstagram postshe shared earlier this week. Celebrating her engagement to Pinkus, it featured an array of photographs with her fiancé as well as a shot of her sparkling engagement ring.

“The greatest moment of my entire life was saying ‘yes’ to spending the rest of ours together. this past month of being your fiancé and being in our own little world of just us two has been so perfect and i wish i could never leave this time,” she wrote alongside pictures of herself and Pinkus at various events and casual hangouts.

Cyrus became particularly poetic as she described her relationship with the COLORS Clothing Company designer, writing: “i never thought i would ever meet a man like you or someone so selfless and filled with so much love to give. you’re the least judge mental human being i’ve ever met. the most talented, the most loyal, the kindest person. i’ve never felt more loved or in love. i now know the feeling of forever not being long enough.”

“I’m so excited to spend this life with you,” continued Cyrus. “our life so far is a life i never thought i deserved or would live. i never thought i’d be looking forward to living as much as i look forward to living with you,” ending the caption with ​"i’m so grateful for you. i don’t know how i got so lucky … i would say ‘yes’ to you every day for the rest of my life.. i love you Pinks. i love you i love you i love you.”
