The singer, 31, shared a rare public statement on her Instagram Stories on Saturday, May 10, addressing false claims about her mother Tish Cyrus, while also giving an update on the status of her relationship with father Billy Ray Cyrus.

Users online believe Miley and her mother Tish Cyrus have hit a rough patch. Their supporting evidence was Tish no longer followed Miley’s official Instagram account. But according to Miley this fan-fueled theory is a gross exaggeration of events.

The singer insists that her mother, Tish Cyrus, did not unfollow her, and says she and her dad have had "challenges" but that "time has done a lot of healing." Miley Cyrus is addressing rumors of friction within her family.
