Liam Hemsworth’s appearance on The Tonight Show was online of course commentary magnet, initially around his movie promotion but then it changed to intensive debates about the actor’s past, relationship with Miley Cyrus, and his present engagement. The actor’s single thank-you post turned out to be a ground for mixed opinions regarding his personal life, Suffice it to say, the attention that was meant his work has been overshadowed by the different opinions on his personal life.

Liam Hemsworth didn’t waste time and immediately shared a bit from his guest spot on the iconic late-night television show through social media, “Thanks for the invite! @jimmyfallon you’re the best.” The post may just have been meant to show off his audience with the popular late-night show presumably for discussing his new role in the upcoming season of ‘The Witcher,’ but the comments were already filled with speculations about his very public marriage with the singer Miley Cyrus, and how he is now engaged to a former backup dancer for her, Gabriella Brooks.
The responses were swift and very much divided. The first user set the tone when he stated, “Bro living in Miley fans heads rent free,” and of course, that feeling was immediately countered with arguments. A different user replied, “Miley’s living rent free. Out of all the losers in the world, because no independent decent woman would be with him, he cheated and is engaged to her backup dancer.” The fresh claims from one user about the past love triangle became the center of discussions as another one denied, “Miley is in his mind, that’s why he is with a girl who looks like her, talks like her and was her backup dancer. I will bet, he slips and calls her Miley.”
On the other hand, some people commenting appeared to be quite tired of the never-ending saga. One commented, “El tipo tiene una carrera impecable..es hermoso ,está comprometido con bella mujer …no jodan con la ex por Dios !!!” which means “The guy has an impeccable career..he’s handsome, he’s engaged to a beautiful woman…stop messing with the ex for God’s sake!!!” The reply to the question of Hemsworth’s professional capabilities was far outweighed by the personal attacks. Another example is, “La gente aburre con solo mencionar al ex de Miley Cyrus creo que ya ni ella está tan pendiente de él como ustedes en sus comentarios,” which means “People are boring by only mentioning Miley Cyrus’s ex, I don’t think even she is as aware of him as you all in your comments.”
The confrontation became very direct with comparisons of the two women in his life. One person expressed, “Miley looking HOT as hell recently ur LOST MILEY is one of a kind bye mf go be with that boring ass copycat.” This was countered by a supporter who exclaimed, “You are super handsome! You escaped a bullet with Miley Cyrus. So thankful you found someone like this! Good Luck and God Bless you Liam!” The division was clear, for there was hardly any scope left for conciliation.
One commentator chose an analytical approach in their comment trying to make the stage over which the argument raged quieter while at the same time offering some career advice. The user said, “Liam I love you but we know you’re not a swiftie, saying that will not make you popular and will not get people to watch the Witcher. All you have done is start a silly stan war between tay fans and your ex fans. Just concentrate on the Witcher cause nobody cares or wants to hear about your fiancée or tay swift!” This showed the difficult position where the post accidentally triggered pop culture fandoms’ intersections. Another person pointed out his fiancée’s own fandom history with, “Your partner is a huge swiftie? She was a huge smiler. Still remember how excited she was about being her lil dancer and how she used to like her posts all the time. Good try but swifties don’t like cheating men.”
Even though there was a flood of negativity and personal attacks, there were still many fans asking for a ceasefire. One person was heard saying, “Give the guy a break! 🤦♂️,” and another asserted, “Miley fans need to chill out, people get divorces all the time and you all are being psycho.” These requests for civility resembled a small piece of land amid a large ocean of heated discussion. Other reactions were generous and one fan said, “Brilliant! I can’t wait to see the new season and all the work that you’ve put into it,” while another merely said, “Love to see your joy!❤️”
