This article mentions suicidal ideation, addiction, and abuse accusations.
Pop music mega star Miley Cyrus has never been one to shy away from sharing how she’s feeling.
“I’m grateful for being able to watch him ahead of me,” she said.
“He’s almost given me this map.
Even with that map, life in the public eye hasn’t always been so easy for Miley.
She announced the news onX, formerly Twitter, choosing to focus on the positives.
“My house no longer stands but the memories shared with family & friends stand strong.
I am grateful for all I have left.”
She explained, “Liam was an amazing hero.
Still, Cyrus was devastated by what had been destroyed by the fire.
Speaking withPeople, Tish revealed that the stress of the impending divorce was too much to handle.
“I thought I was going to be alone forever,” she said.
“And that was one of the times that I had the crippling breakdown of anxiety … And it was really scary.”
Furthermore, her anxiety can become something of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
“It’s really changed my life in a huge way.”
He posted a since-deleted Instagram video (viaPeople), which he captioned, “Well… We’re getting married!
I will love you FOREVER!!!
Several weeks later, Trace and Sanders found themselves back in the headlines.
“F*** ALL U JEALOUS GIRLS REPORTING MY PIC OF MY BAE!!!”
he wrote (viaPeople).
“Y r so many of u girls on social media so jealous of a beautiful woman?
… don’t go hating on my girl because she’s hot!!
There was nothing wrong with the picture I had posted.”
The many photos he’d shared of Sanders, and defended so strongly, were deleted.
Unfortunately, the marriage didn’t last, and they divorced the following year.
I just clung to what I had left of that house, which was me and him.
And I really do and did love him very, very, very much.”
At the time, they released a statement toPeopleleaving launch the possibility of reconciliation.
“As you could imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family.
We are trying to work through some personal matters,” they said.
The couple did indeed work things through.
They got back together until 2013, when, this time, Tish filed for divorce.
They called off the split again, this time sticking together until finally going their separate ways in 2022.
While they spoke about the divorce as a positive thing, they couldn’t have foreseen the consequences.
Their divorce kicked off drama that wound up driving a wedge between the Cyrus parents and their kids.
“I just quit.
If I hadn’t, it’d be a different deal for me.
I don’t think I’d even be alive.”
It turns out there was a tragic reason why Billy Ray worried about being able to survive his drinking.
He was coming up in the industry when fellow country star Keith Whitley died of alcohol poisoning.
“Keith is from where I’m from up there in eastern Kentucky.
“It was his influence and the fact that I loved Keith Whitley so much.”
Her daughterNoah Cyrus was reportedly in a relationship with Purcell first.
Nevertheless, Tish and Purcell wed anyway.
“Getting to know and love him has been an honor and a privilege,” she said.
“I can honestly say that he is one of the most beautiful humans I will ever know.”
Purcell announced onInstagrama week later that his father had died.
It’s very easy to love you.
Braison did make headlines back in 2012, however, after a scary near-death experience.
His mother, Tish Cyrus, explained the harrowing story toE!
News, revealing that he’d had his tonsils taken out and had suffered some frightening complications.
Nine days after the surgery, things took a turn for the worse.
“He woke himself up because he felt something running down his throat,” Tish said.
“He sat up and started spewing blood out of his mouth.”
“They started doing everything they could to get the bleeding stopped.
The blood was just pouring out of his mouth.
He was choking on his own blood!
It was so traumatizing,” Tish said.
She played the titular character, a pop star by night who’s just a normal girl by day.
Getting famous so young meant Cyrus grew up with a complicated relationship with her appearance.
“From the time I was 11, it was, ‘You’re a pop star!
She issued an apology in Marie Claire (viaBillboard), confessing, “I made a mistake …
I’m disappointed in myself for disappointing my fans.”
As she’s grown up, Cyrus’ relationship with substance use has changed.
In 2020, she toldRolling Stonethat she was committed again to her sobriety.
She’d given up both alcohol and drugs when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, but she returned to drinking.
“Like a lot of people during the pandemic, I fell off,” she said.
“It was really a struggle.
Mental health and anxiety and all that.
I lost myself there.”
They got hitched in October 2023, and by May 2024, he’d filed for divorce.
A source spoke withPeopleand alleged that Firerose had been dishonest with Billy Ray during their courtship.
“He believes that she married for other reasons but love.
He believes she married him so he can take care of her financially,” the source said.
“They’ve had drama and trust issues about money.”
Several weeks later, Firerose’s side of the story dropped, and things got dark.
Furthermore, she described significant verbal and emotional abuse.
As of this writing, divorce proceedings are ongoing.
Soon, though, she was hooked, doing the drug more than just recreationally.
Cyrus' rock bottom, it turned out, meant suicidal ideation.
If you want to be alive, you should probably call and get help.”
Thankfully, Cyrus is now in recovery.
She mused, “This album, without a doubt, saved my life.”
In 2022, she shared that she’d been in recovery for two years.
