Fred Durst & Miley Cyrus: "Suck It, Bullies!"

The Limp Bizkit frontman admits to getting picked on in school—just like Miles—and that's one of the reasons his band split up!

What do Fred Durst and Miley Cyrus have in common?

The two were bullied in school.

"I got beat up all the time in high school," Durst admitted to us last night the L.A. premiere of his feature film directorial debut, The Education of Charlie Banks. “I was the underdog. All of my angst comes from that in my life.”

And this movie hits close to home.

Jesse Eisenberg stars as a college student who finds himself face-to-face with his high school bully (Jason Ritter) when he unexpectedly shows up on campus.

Cyrus recently revealed in her new autobiography, Miles to Go, that she was tormented by real-life mean girls in sixth grade who stole her books and locked her in the school bathroom.

Durst says bullying was actually one of the reasons that Limp Bizkit split up.

Really?

"The irony is, Limp Bizkit, for a while, [was] the fuel for bullies to beat up a lot of these underdogs," Durst explained. "That's when I decided to stop. I was like, 'You know, that's me they're beating up, and my music is fueling them.' So I held back for a while."

But, just last month, Limp Bizkit announced they were reuniting with a world tour kicking off in May.

"It's better than ever," Durst said of the reunion. "We own Limp Bizkit. Not a damn thing is changing! We are the same and we are gonna kill it!"
