In a shocking audio clip exclusively revealed by DailyMail.com, legendary country music star Billy Ray Cyrus is heard branding his daughter, the famous pop icon Miley Cyrus, a “devil” and a “skank.” The 62-year-old’s harsh and vitriolic words have reportedly severed any remaining ties between the father and daughter, leaving Miley, now 31 years old, heartbroken and indifferent.
According to sources, this incident was the final straw for Miley, whose relationship with her father was already strained due to his marriage to his estranged wife, Firerose, 37. Miley has reportedly not spoken to her father since her mother, Tish, 57, filed for divorce in 2022 after 28 years of marriage.
“There is no excuse, ever, for a father to call his daughter a skank. Any inkling of respect that Miley had for her father is gone. He is dead to her.”
In the disturbing recording, Billy refers to himself in the third person before launching into a tirade against Miley, calling her “that devil” and stating, “Everyone knows that devil’s a skank.” He further lashes out at his ex-wife Tish, calling her a “liar,” a “wh***,” and a “cheat.”
A source close to Miley noted, “Honestly, Miley is not surprised that these words came out of his mouth. She’s mad, sad, and indifferent—all the emotions are there. Miley is over caring about what Billy Ray has to say about her, her mom, or her siblings. She’s an independent woman and refuses to let her dad, or any man, break her heart.”
Billy has reportedly attempted to excuse his outburst, claiming his words were “taken out of context.” However, Miley is reportedly “refusing to entertain” any apologies from him.
“He is trying to say that what he said about Miley, calling her a skank, was taken out of context. But Miley is not even entertaining any of this. She won’t be accepting any apologies.”
Billy and Tish share three children: Miley, Braison, 30, and Noah, 24. Billy also has a son from a previous relationship and adopted Tish’s two children, Brandi, 37, and Trace, 35, when they married.
The source added that Miley was further hurt by the fact that her father also lashed out at her mother, Tish. In a text exchange with his manager Scott Adkins, Billy referred to Tish as a “liar,” a “wh***,” a “cheat,” and “scum of the earth.”
The Cyrus family has faced its share of challenges, with Tish filing for divorce in 2022 after 28 years of marriage. This move came just months after Billy Ray had filed for divorce, only to later withdraw the petition. The couple’s tumultuous relationship has undoubtedly taken a toll on their children, including Miley.
Miley, who has been open about her struggles with mental health and substance abuse, has now found herself grappling with the fallout of her father’s shocking outburst. The once-close relationship between the father and daughter has been irrevocably damaged, and Miley’s indifference towards her father’s attempts to make amends is a testament to the depth of the betrayal she feels.
Billy Ray Cyrus’s harsh words and the subsequent breakdown of his relationship with Miley have undoubtedly tarnished his legacy as a beloved country music icon. The once-adored father figure has now been reduced to a bitter and resentful man, whose actions have deeply wounded his own flesh and blood.
Despite the pain and heartbreak, Miley appears to be determined to move forward and focus on her own well-being and career. As an independent woman, she has shown her unwillingness to let her father’s actions define her or break her spirit.
“Miley is over caring about what Billy Ray has to say about her, her mom, or her siblings. She’s an independent woman and refuses to let her dad, or any man, break her heart.”
The fractured relationship between Billy Ray Cyrus and his daughter Miley serves as a sobering reminder of the delicate nature of familial bonds and the lasting impact that a parent’s actions can have on their children. As the Cyrus family navigates this tumultuous chapter, the world watches, both captivated and saddened by the unfolding drama.
