The insightful conversation unfolded during Miley’s guest appearance on Sorry We’re Cyrus, the podcast hosted by her mother and sister Brandi Cyrus. They delved into Miley’s latest artistic endeavor, Something Beautiful, while also discussing the importance of mental health, personal discipline, and the Type A personality traits that significantly influence Miley’s life and career choices.

In addition to the serious topics, the episode included lighter moments, such as a fun family Q&A segment where Miley revealed who she thinks gives the worst advice in their household. Without hesitation, she pointed a finger at her brother Trace, humorously describing his advice as consistently “terrible” and downright questionable.

When reflecting on Trace’s suggestions, Miley quipped that he often tells her to “buy an airplane,” and more seriously, his advice typically involves aggressive confrontations: “He’s always suggesting you should beat someone up or ruin their life, which is definitely not the best guidance,” she said, laughing at the absurdity of it all.

The duo also took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, with Miley sharing a particularly amusing “core memory” from her childhood where she was wrongly accused of being the reason behind her father Billy Ray Cyrus‘s alleged marijuana use on the set of Hannah Montana.

In a surprising turn, Tish admitted that when the show’s producers reached out to discuss the matter, she flatly refused to believe that her husband would engage in such activities, insisting it certainly wasn’t him who was at fault.

While at this unconventional educational institution, Miley found herself in trouble for actions she claimed were misattributed to her. However, she was quick to own up to the antics that ultimately led to her expulsion from “that spiritual school” during her formative years.

In a humorous exchange, Miley struggled to remember the name of the school, while Tish chimed in, clarifying that it was affiliated with the Foursquare Church. When Miley described it as “a type of Christianity,” Tish elaborated, “It’s more of a denomination; I’m not entirely sure.”

“Mom sent me to this bizarre spiritual school that she didn’t even know much about,” Miley chuckled, reflecting on her childhood experiences.

Miley, for her part, clearly hadn’t grasped the behavioral expectations required at a “bizarre spiritual school,” although it’s likely that traditional public schools would have frowned upon her conduct as well.

Tish recalled receiving a phone call from the school regarding Miley’s behavior, which included her boldly announcing to her classmates that she had kissed a boy.

Miley acknowledged that this was indeed a significant concern, but it wasn’t the sole reason for her eventual dismissal. It appears the school tolerated a great deal before reaching what Miley described as “their last straw.”

In one memorable incident, Miley recalled a fellow student who, despite lacking talent, was told she would be the next Oprah. Miley burst into laughter at the absurdity of the situation, highlighting the peculiarities of her school experience.

She humorously added, “And by the way, I was not wrong,” reflecting on those childhood memories with a mix of nostalgia and amusement.

According to Miley, the school had brought in a “prophet” to predict the future of the children. Tish recalled how the church had offered to “prophesy” over Miley before she moved to Los Angeles, which Miley firmly declined.

Miley also shared an amusing incident where she “borrowed” a mobility device from a teacher, admitting, “I rode her scooter down the halls, and that was yet another reason,” before revealing the “final straw” that led to her dismissal.

During a lesson on Greek mythology, students were to choose which deity they wanted to represent. Miley chose to embody Athena and showed up to class in a toga—without a top underneath, which caused quite a stir.

She recounted how she stood in front of the class, scandalizing the teachers with her bold choice of attire, and proclaimed, “I’m Athena, and I love making babies,” which only added to the chaos of the day.

“Then I also told some of the other kids that I learned what French kissing was in Canada, and that was their final straw,” Miley recalled, laughing at the absurdity of her youthful antics.

From that point, Miley and Tish made the decisive choice to leave Tennessee behind, looking forward to new opportunities and dreams in Los Angeles, a move that ultimately proved to be incredibly beneficial for both of them.

As Miley candidly discussed her past mischief, it was Tish who stepped in to clarify a recent controversy stemming from her own social media behavior involving an “unfollow” incident that had stirred quite a bit of drama.

“What do you think made your mother unfollow you on Instagram?” Brandi playfully asked Miley during the podcast’s “Boring Game Segment.” This incident occurred on May 7, shortly after Billy Ray posted a heartfelt video featuring Miley, expressing his excitement to see her, saying, “Can’t wait to see this young woman. Crazy how time flies.”

Following Billy Ray’s revelation about his relationship with Elizabeth Hurley, tensions within the family had been apparent, leading many social media users to speculate that Tish’s unfollowing of Miley was a subtle jab at the family dynamics.

Even after Tish commented, “I don’t know how that happened, but it’s fixed now!” fans remained skeptical and continued to discuss the incident online.

“Honestly, everyone was freaking out, thinking I really unfollowed you on Instagram,” Tish informed Miley, who seemed somewhat oblivious to the magnitude of the situation, previously mentioning how she strictly regulates her online interactions.

However, Miley was aware enough to acknowledge that “the timing was interesting” regarding the “unfollow” incident.

“If you were in the family or not, it was bizarre timing,” Miley noted, “I went to see [my dad] B-Ray, and you mysteriously unfollowed me.”

With a mischievous grin, Miley added, “And then you got some backlash and suddenly knew how to hit that follow button again,” laughing at the absurdity of the situation.

So what was the truth behind the unfollow incident? According to Miley, it wasn’t as dramatic or scandalous as many believed. In fact, she described it as simply a glitch caused by Meta, Instagram’s parent company.

“A bug in Meta,” she explained. “It automatically unfollows the person with whom you engage the most.” Miley speculated that her mother might have misplaced her glasses or accidentally unfollowed her without realizing it, dismissing any notion of intentional shade.

“I rarely address rumors, but my mom and I are way too close for anything to come between us,” Miley stated in May regarding the incident, issuing a statement that highlighted their strong bond. “She’s my best friend. Like many moms, she struggles with her phone, and somehow unfollowed me. It’s simple, coincidental, and boring.”

Ultimately, the reality of the situation turned out to be much less exciting than the speculation surrounding it.
