Singer Miley Cyrus and her mother, Tish Cyrus, are addressing a social media snafu that had folks “freaking out” not too way back.
“Miley, why do you think your mom unfollowed you on Instagram?” Tish requested, doubling over in laughter, on the most recent episode of the “Sorry We’re Cyrus” podcast she does together with her daughter Brandi Cyrus, Miley’s older sister.
The pop star conceded that the timing of her mother’s unfollow was “interesting,” as a result of she had lately posted a photograph of her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, after the two have been estranged for a time period.
Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus divorced again in 2022.
“If you were in the family or not in the family, it was weird timing,” the singer teased her mother. “Like I went to go see B Ray and, like, you did mysteriously unfollow me.”
“And then you got some backlash, and then suddenly you knew how to press that ‘follow’ button,” she mentioned earlier than including that she was “just kidding.”
The “Flowers” singer defined that “the truth is ― which is boring ― there’s a bug in Meta which… it naturally unfollows the person that you follow with the most engagement.”
“It was insane, though,” Tish Cyrus mentioned as her daughter took listeners via what she thought had occurred.
“I was like, either, ‘Mom lost her glasses and can’t see,’ which is ― that’s what I thought happened,” Miley Cyrus mentioned. “And then, there was actually a bug in Meta.”
Each ladies addressed the unfollowing incident when it occurred in Could.
When somebody on Instagram requested Tish Cyrus why she had instantly unfollowed her daughter, she commented, “i didn’t! Idk what happened lol.”
Tish later spoke in regards to the state of affairs on X, writing, “I would never unfollow Miley, her and I are as close as we’ve always been. Period. Love you Little.”
The “Hannah Montana” star took to her Instagram tales to handle the hoopla, writing, “I rarely comment on rumors, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us.”
“She’s my best friend,” she added. “Like a lot of moms, she doesn’t know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me-simple, coincidental, and uninteresting.”
