Miley Cyrus is not a fan of paper.
The “Hannah Montana” alum detailed her serious “phobia” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Thursday evening, admitting she “need[s] help.”
The singer introduced the topic by telling viewers about her “qualm with Christmas” — her fear of wrapping paper.
The former Disney Channel star, 33, clarified that the note card on Jimmy Kimmel’s desk also made her “want to vomit,” and his book was “giving [her] hell.”
Cyrus repeatedly gagged as she struggled to describe another “real problem [she has] with paper” — people with “dry hands [who] touch” it.
She admitted to throwing away “lovely letters” without opening them because she can’t stand stationery, noting that she prefers to be reached by text, email or phone call instead.
While rolling papers are “fine” and tablets have “solved a lot of [reading] problems” for the singer, she railed against Amazon packages.
She explained that cardboard is “extra dry” and has more “packaging in it,” joking that she recently got engaged to Maxx Morando because her fiancé opens all deliveries outside their home.
When Kimmel, 58, asked whether Cyrus would be able to sign her marriage certificate, she reflected on her first time tying the knot to ex-husband Liam Hemsworth.
“I think I remember the paper is wax, but I had smoked one of those imaginary joints. I can’t really remember,” she said of the 2018 wedding ceremony. “I’m not sure.”
The Grammy winner added that she is “working on” her aversion but does “need help” since it is “getting worse.”
Cyrus admitted, “There does need to be some sort of intervention, and I am gonna look into … maybe EDMR [or] getting hypnotized because it is affecting [her] everyday life.”
The actress previously used EDMR, which is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, to combat her stage fright, she told the New York Times over the summer.
“It’s so weird because it’s like watching a movie in your mind, but it’s different than dreaming,” she said in July. “You’re kind of more in yourself but still in another place of consciousness that’s kind of hard to describe unless you’ve been in that hypnotic state.”
At the time, Cyrus gushed that she “love[d]” the sessions and they “saved [her] life.”
