Miley Cyrus has broken her silence on rumours of a family feud with dad Billy Ray Cyrus and mum Tish Cyrus after her mother unfollowed the actress and singer on social media
Miley Cyrus has quashed rumours of a falling out with her parents, insisting that she and her mum Tish are tighter than ever. The pop sensation took to her Instagram Story to clear the air after it was noticed that mum Tish seemingly unfollowed her on social media—an incident Miley chalks up to a tech mishap.
She shared: “I rarely comment on rumours, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us.”
In her flying-the-flag-for-mum moment, Miley made sure everyone knew they were still chummy as can be: “She’s my best friend. Like a lot of moms, she doesn’t know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me – simple, coincidental and uninteresting.”
For her part, Tish echoed this sentiment, explaining the social media snafu once it was pointed out by an eagle-eyed fan.
Laughing it off, she clarified: “I didn’t. Idk what happened lol. I have no idea how that happened but it’s fixed now [pink heart emoji].”
Tish further emphasised the solidity of their bond on the platform with an emphatic statement: “I would never unfollow Miley, her and I are as close as we’ve ever been. Period. Little [heart] emoji @mileycyrus.”
Likewise, Miley underlined her enduring connection with dad Billy Ray in light of past difficulties. The ‘Wrecking Ball’ songstress admitted: “My dad and I have had our challenges over the years.”
Miley went on: “Now, in my 30s, family is my priority above all else. I’m at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing.”
She continued: “Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family.”
However, in a previous conversation with chat show host David Letterman on ‘My Next Guess Needs No Introduction’ last year, Miley credited her mum with her upbringing but acknowledged the significant impact her dad had on her music career.
She said: “Without my dad, I know – I mean, not just literally I wouldn’t be sitting in this chair, I wouldn’t exist – but I would not, who I am as a person, it wouldn’t exist.
“Because my dad, as a creative and as an artist in the way that his brain works, has always made me feel safer in my own mind because we’re very similar in our ideas.”
Miley added: “So I think a lot of his perspective on reality and on life, I’ve inherited from him, more so than the way that I was raised – which really, my mom raised me.”
