Miley Cyrus appeared to show support for her mom Tish Cyrus after her father Billy Ray Cyrus slammed her as a ‘skank’ and ‘liar’ in an expletive-filled rant obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com on Wednesday.
The Prisoner hitmaker, 31, took to X (formerly Twitter) to uploaded a behind-the-scenes photo of herself and Tish, 57, from a recent Gucci party in Los Angeles.
Taken inside Miley’s room at the famous Chateau Marmont, the image showed the mother-daughter duo smiling and hugging.
The Hannah Montana alum uploaded the photo, as well as other snaps from the party, to X without a caption.
The post came just hours after Billy Ray’s shock tirades against Tish, Miley and his estranged wife Firerose — which he’s since admitted to — were exposed.

Billy Ray shockingly referred to both Miley and Tish as ‘skanks’ in shocking texts and audio obtained by DailyMail.com on Wednesday
In audio heard by DailyMail.com Billy Ray bizarrely speaks of himself in the third person before turning his attention to his daughter, Miley, and uttering the shocking statement: ‘Everyone knows that devil’s a skank.’
He is equally dismissive and derisory of Tish, his former wife of 28 years and the mother of three of his biological children – Miley, 31, Braison, 30 and Noah, 24 – whom he also never refers to by name but instead calls, ‘s**t.’
Billy Ray has a son from a previous relationship and adopted Tish’s two children, Brandi, 37, and Trace, 35, when they married.
In one shocking text exchange with his manager and publicist Scott Adkins, viewed by DailyMail.com, Billy Ray says of Tish: ‘She is a liar…a w***e…and a cheat. Complete skank. Scum of the earth. A fraud.’
Comparing her to Lindsay Lohan’s mother, Dina, 61, he texts, she ‘Makes Deanna [sic] Lohan look like Mother Theresa.’
Miley has reportedly been estranged from Billy Ray in the years that followed his and Tish’s 2022 divorce.
The Nobody’s Perfect singer famously left her father out of her acceptance speech — only mentioning mom Tish, sister Brandi and her team — as she won her first-ever Grammy Award earlier this year.
More recently, Miley spoke candidly about her relationship with Billy Ray during a sit-down interview with David Letterman.
She told the host of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction that she ‘inherited narcissism’ from Billy Ray while lauding Tish as her ‘hero.’
Though she acknowledged both her parents helped steer her towards her successful career, Miley said the roles they played in helping her achieve fame ‘can’t be weighed on the same scale.’
The Grammy-winner did credit her father for providing a roadmap on how to navigate her career.
‘My father I’m grateful for being able to watch him ahead of me,’ she explained.

‘He’s almost given me this map, and it’s a map of what to do and what not to do, and he’s guided me on both,’ she said.
‘Without my dad, I know … who I am as a person wouldn’t exist. Because my dad as a creative and like, as an artist, and the way his brain works has always made me feel safer in my own mind.’
The interview was released amid Billy Ray’s messy divorce from his much-younger wife Firerose.
A source previously told DailyMail.com in June that Miley felt ‘vindicated knowing that she was right about Firerose the whole time.’
The insider also claimed that ‘Firerose was one of the reasons she stopped talking to her dad’ and that, despite the divorce, she still has ‘no communication with her dad right now.
‘If their relationship is ever going to be fixed, he will have to do some serious apologizing for shutting her out and treating her and her mother like he did,’ the source said at the time.
But Billy Ray’s disturbing audio and text rants obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com on Thursday may have destroyed any chance of a reconciliation in the near future.
The shocking new audio strongly backs claims from Billy Ray Cyrus’s ex-wife Firerose that he subjected her to months of ‘extreme verbal, emotional and psychological abuse’.
The tape reveals the appalling treatment which Australian singer Firerose, 37, claims she continually faced during her seven-month marriage to Miley’s father.
Heard here for the first time, the audio makes for difficult listening as the country singer unleashes a toxic rant – mocking, belittling, and bullying his much younger wife in a relentless and brutal onslaught.
During the confrontation, which appears to be sparked by Billy Ray’s fury at being made too late to go on stage for a show, he warns her: ‘If you had just left it the f**k alone, now I’m really f**king p***ed, once again showing you will not listen.
He is equally dismissive and derisory of Tish, his former wife of 28 years and the mother of three of his biological children – Miley, 31, Braison, 30 and Noah, 24 – whom he also never refers to by name but instead calls, ‘s**t’; seen in 2019

‘I don’t know who the f**k you think you are, but you will not listen…this ain’t about nothing this is about you being a selfish f**king b***h.’
Continuing his expletive-laden rant, Billy Ray sneers: ‘I don’ think you’re real smart, I’ve changed my mind on that s**t. What I think you are is a selfish f**king b***h. That’s what you are.’
As she begs him to ‘please stop shouting’, he tells her: ‘This would not be happening if you had just shut your f**king mouth. Look what a f**king mess you’ve made.
‘What a dumb ass [you are] …’cos you have to know I will not tolerate that s**t. You just f**ked up…f**k you. You know better than that. F**king idiot.’
Hours after the tapes went public, Billy Ray his silence via an Instagram statement and confirmed that that it is indeed his voice in the recordings.
He admitted that he was at his ‘wit’s end’ during the verbal assault.
‘Hell yeah I was at my wit’s end,’ he began, before unleashing a furious explanation for his temperament.
‘As every day went by, I started realizing something was wrong. And that’s before I knew she was a fraud.’
He then went on to make a series of claims about Firerose.
‘I just knew something wasn’t right. That was before I knew she was David Hodges ex-wife. That’s before I knew her parents last name. I had no idea she was arrested for felony residential burglary.
‘I saw before my very own eyes, everything I thought I knew about her, was a life. She was trying to take over my career, my life and usurp the Cyrus name for own gain.
Billy Ray finished the statement with: ‘See you in court.’

Shortly after, Firerose took to Instagram to share a photo of a sign that featured a cryptic quote about spiritual guidance.
‘Give God everything you have and he will give you everything you need,’ it read.
Billy Ray first met Firerose in 2010 when he was still married to second wife Tish.
The Sydney-born musician was born Johanna Scholem before legally changing her name to her current moniker, according to documents seen by DailyMail.com.
She was 22, and Billy Ray was 48 and starring alongside Miley on the Disney Channel hit show, Hannah Montana, at the time.
They became friends but nothing happened romantically until the country singer reached out to her a decade later and asked her to duet with him on a version of Tanya Tucker’s ‘Delta Dawn.’
He was still married to Tish at the time but told Firerose they were ‘soulmates’ and promised her a romance for the ages.
The pair were married in October 2023 but today all the grand talk of old rings hollow.
Just seven months into the marriage in May, Billy Ray filed for divorce, marking the beginning of an increasingly bitter legal battle, according to filings.
Firerose claims Billy Ray kicked her out of the marital home on May 23, 2024 – one day before she was due to undergo a preventative double mastectomy having been diagnosed with the BRCA1 gene, a gene placing her at high risk of developing certain forms of cancer, in 2020. She has since postponed her surgery ‘indefinitely.’
Earlier this month she filed a motion to retrieve property, claiming her estranged husband has refused to let her return to the home to remove her belongings.
Documents obtained by DailyMail.com show Firerose had agreed to move out after his divorce filing and to not return without his permission.

The two later agreed she could come collect the rest of her things on May 29, however those plans fell through because Firerose had been in the process of changing lawyers at the time.
Filings show the pair would go on to attempt to reschedule another suitable date over the following weeks, until July 12, when Firerose was informed she ‘would not be permitted to return’.
‘The letter cited that wife was not trustworthy and raised complaints husband had with alleged premarital conduct of wife,’ the motion states.
In his response to the motion, Billy Ray cited a July 11 Page Six report in which Firerose spoke about her previous arrest that saw her spend 60 days in jail.
‘This arrest was something that Mr. Cyrus was unaware of and because [Firerose] had previously lied and concealed things about her life before Mr. Cyrus, his counsel, began looking further into [her] statements,’ the documents state.
However, text messages obtained by DailyMail.com appear to contradict those claims, showing the country star had been involved in conversations in which his wife openly referenced the incident.
A November 2023 group chat conversation with Billy Ray, his wife, and Adkins, shows the three discussing a new song inspired by Firerose’s dark times, including her stint in jail.
In court filings Firerose claims that Billy Ray isolated her from everyone in her life, save for her AA sponsor with whom she insisted she remained in contact, and, after just seven tortuous months, Billy Ray filed for divorce.
In his divorce petition Billy Ray cited Firerose’s ‘inappropriate marital conduct’ as cause and sought an annulment due to ‘fraud,’ the nature of which court documents do not detail.
Court documents filed by Firerose in response to Billy Ray’s divorce petition accuse him of being ‘unpredictable and volatile’ due to alleged substance abuse issues.
Billy Ray was quick to respond, returning to court last month with filings claiming that it was Firerose and not him, who was the abusive one in the marriage.
In the documents filed in Franklin, Tennessee, in June, Billy Ray claimed: ‘Defendant’s allegations of abuse were only made to sensationalize her false complaints by using the word ‘abuse.’

While the plaintiff would acknowledge that he was certainly vocal, frustrated, and angry with the defendant in May 2024, it is the plaintiff who, in fact, has been abused. Not only verbally and emotionally by the defendant, but also PHYSICALLY abused by the defendant.’
In an attached affidavit Billy Ray’s manager Adkins, stated: ‘During my time representing both Mr. Cyrus and Firerose, I have personally witnessed Firerose speak disrespectfully and acting out of control toward Mr. Cyrus.’
Adkins went on to state that on one occasion Billy Ray told him, ‘Scott she is hitting me again.’
Billy Ray also accused his wife of running up $96,986 worth of ‘fraudulent charges’ on his credit cards, claiming that Firerose was never authorized as a signer on his cards or accounts and last month won an injunction preventing her from continuing to use them.
For her part Firerose claimed that she felt ‘unsafe’ with him in their Nashville home.
She went on to state that she has ‘had to seek psychological treatment from her therapist for emergency sessions on more than one occasion,’ due to the sheer toxicity of her life with the man she once loved.
