The relationship between Miley Cyrus and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, has hit a breaking point due to controversial audio recordings. The recordings captured Billy Ray making offensive remarks about his daughter and ex-wife, Tish Cyrus, leading to significant family discord.
Shortly after publicly criticizing Miley, Billy Ray faced backlash for referring to her in derogatory terms like a “devil” and a “skank.”
The audio recording revealed Billy Ray speaking in a disrespectful manner, causing significant distress.
Despite Billy Ray trying to downplay the situation as being “taken out of context,” Miley remains unresponsive to his reconciliation attempts.
Sources close to the family disclosed that Miley has ceased communication with her father and is unwilling to accept any apologies.
The fallout extends beyond Miley, with Billy Ray also making disparaging comments about Tish, using offensive language and questioning her character following their 2022 divorce.
“Any father calling his daughter a skank is inexcusable,” an insider shared with RadarOnline.com.
“Miley no longer holds any respect for her father. He is dead to her.”

The ordeal has left the singer feeling deeply hurt and distanced from her dad. Those close to Miley highlighted that while the comments were shocking, they weren’t entirely unexpected given the family’s complicated past.
“Miley is experiencing a mix of anger, sadness, and indifference,” another source revealed.
“She is done letting Billy Ray’s opinions about her, her mom, or her siblings affect her. Miley is a fiercely independent woman and refuses to let her father, or any man, break her spirit.”
