Miley Cyrus and Tish Cyrus Discuss Family Dynamics and Misunderstandings in a Candid Podcast Interview
Miley Cyrus opens up about her early rebellious years, while she and her mother Tish Cyrus take the opportunity to clarify some misunderstandings surrounding “unfollow”-gate, a recent social media incident that caught the public’s attention.
The discussion unfolded during an extensive interview as Miley appeared on her mother’s podcast, Sorry We’re Cyrus, which she co-hosts with sister Brandi Cyrus. The trio delved into Miley’s latest project, Something Beautiful, while also exploring topics like mental health, self-discipline, and the Type A personality traits that characterize Miley’s approach to life.
In addition to serious discussions, the podcast featured lighter moments, including a family Q&A segment. During this segment, Miley humorously highlighted her brother Trace as the family member who gives the worst advice, claiming that his suggestions are “always terrible” and often ridiculous.
She elaborated that his peculiar recommendations range from advising her to “buy an airplane” to more aggressive suggestions, like “telling you to beat someone up or destroy their life,” which she described as fundamentally poor guidance.
The conversation also took a nostalgic turn as they reminisced about their childhood experiences. Miley recounted a particularly amusing “core memory” from her past, where she was hilariously blamed for her father Billy Ray Cyrus smoking marijuana on the set of Hannah Montana, highlighting the comedic misunderstandings that can occur in family dynamics.
Tish, on her part, recalled how she received calls from the show’s producers regarding the situation, adamantly refusing to believe that her husband would engage in such behavior and insisting that it could not possibly be him!

Miley Cyrus Shares Her Experience at a Unique Religious School
While discussing her past troublemaking days, Miley was candid about the antics that led to her expulsion from “that religious school” during her childhood, taking full responsibility for her behavior and explaining how it shaped her life.
In a humorous exchange, Miley struggled to recall the name of the school, with Tish correcting her, stating that it was part of the Foursquare Church. Miley described it as “a kind of Christianity,” to which Tish responded, “It’s like a denomination; I’m not sure.”
With a laugh, Miley noted, “Mom sent me to a weird religious school that she didn’t even know much about,” highlighting the irony and humor of the situation.
Miley humorously admitted that she seemed unable to conform to the rules of a “weird religious school,” a reflection of her rebellious spirit that perhaps public schools would also not have tolerated.
Tish quickly remembered receiving a phone call from the school “because Miley went around telling everyone she kissed a boy,” illustrating the typical teenage antics that can lead to parental concern.
Miley agreed that this was indeed a significant issue, though it wasn’t the primary reason for her ultimate dismissal. She humorously noted that the school tolerated quite a bit before they reached “their final straw,” as she described it.
In one amusing incident, she recounted, “someone in class that I didn’t really think had it; she didn’t have it.” Miley continued, explaining how the teacher had told this classmate that she was “going to be the next Oprah,” which prompted Miley to burst into laughter, showcasing her candid humor.

She added with a chuckle now, “And by the way, I was not wrong,” reflecting on how her youthful perspective shaped her understanding of the world.
According to Miley, the school even brought in a “prophet” to tell all the kids what they would become when they grew up. Tish recounted how the church offered to “prophesy” over Miley before she moved to LA, to which Miley firmly replied, “Absolutely not.”
Miley also shared a story about “borrowing” a mobility device from a teacher, saying, “I did ride her scooter down the halls, and that was yet another reason,” before revealing what she deemed the “final straw” that led to her expulsion.
In a lesson on Greek mythology, the class was tasked with representing various deities. Miley chose to embody Athena, showing up in a toga — but without a top underneath, which certainly raised eyebrows among the faculty.
She humorously recounted standing in front of the class, already scandalizing the teachers with her bold outfit choice, and declaring, “I’m Athena and I love making babies,” which undoubtedly shocked her classmates and teachers alike.
“Then I told some of the other kids that I learned what French kissing was in Canada, and that was their final straw,” Miley added, emphasizing the humorous yet rebellious nature of her school days.
Ultimately, Miley and Tish decided to leave Tennessee behind, embarking on a new journey to Los Angeles, where they hoped to pursue their dreams and aspirations, a move that clearly proved to be beneficial for their careers.

Understanding the Social Media ‘Unfollow’ Incident: Miscommunication or Glitch?
While Miley candidly discussed her past mischief, Tish stepped in to clarify the recent controversy surrounding her “unfollow” on social media, which had stirred up quite a bit of attention.
“Why do you think your mother unfollowed you on Instagram?” Brandi asked Miley during the podcast’s “Boring Game Segment.” This incident occurred on May 7, just hours after Billy Ray posted a video of Miley, expressing his excitement to see her.
As Billy Ray had just revealed his relationship with Elizabeth Hurley, tensions within his family, including with Miley, had already been high, prompting many on social media to interpret Tish’s unfollow as a sign of familial discord.
Even when Tish attempted to clarify in the comments, stating, “I don’t know how that happened but it’s fixed now!” fans were not quick to let the matter drop, showcasing how invested they were in the family dynamics.
“Honestly, everyone was freaking out thinking I really unfollowed you on Instagram,” Tish explained to Miley, who seemed somewhat unaware of the extent of the controversy, having previously mentioned her strict approach to online engagement.
Yet, Miley acknowledged the “interesting timing” surrounding the “unfollow,” indicating that she was aware of the unusual nature of the situation.
“Whether you’re in the family or not, it was bizarre timing,” Miley continued, “I went to see [my dad] B-Ray, and you mysteriously unfollowed me.”

With a mischievous grin, she added, “And then you got some backlash and suddenly knew how to hit that follow button,” showcasing her playful relationship with her mother.
So what was the real story behind the unfollow? According to Miley, it was neither dramatic nor scandalous. She simply stated it was a glitch in Meta, the parent company of Instagram, that led to the misunderstanding.
“A bug in Meta,” she asserted. “It automatically unfollows the person you engage with the most.” Miley reasoned that her mother may have accidentally unfollowed her, perhaps due to not wearing her glasses, and she saw no reason to think there was any negativity involved.
“I rarely comment on rumors, but my mama and I are too close for anything to ever come between us,” Miley stated in May regarding the incident, emphasizing their strong bond. “She’s my best friend. Like many mothers, she doesn’t know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me. Simple, coincidental, and boring,” she concluded.
Ultimately, the truth turned out to be far less exciting than the speculation surrounding it.
