Miley Cyrus Denies Feud After Mom’s Instagram Unfollow Mishap

Here’s yet another digital spectacle proving that modern life is one endless tumble into trivial melodrama: Miley Cyrus’s mom allegedly hit “unfollow” on her Instagram, and the rumor mill went into overdrive. According to TMZ’s exclusive scoop, fans noticed that Tish Cyrus was no longer following her daughter’s account, igniting whispers of a behind-the-scenes family rift. E! News picked up the thread, reporting that the initial unfollow sparked theories of a deep-seated feud—naturally, because nothing says “end of civilization” like a parent-child social media slip.
Miley, never one to let public imagination roam free, took to her Stories to wave off the drama in terms so blunt they’d make a PR agent flinch. “My mom didn’t mean to unfollow me,” she claimed, according to People magazine, clarifying that it was just an innocent thumbs-slip during a routine scroll. Of course, she also assured followers that her family dinners remain drama-free and that there’s “no grand conspiracy” brewing at Chateau Cyrus. She even joked that if accidental unfollows counted as betrayals, she’d be disowning half her followers by now—and with the rate she posts, that would be a full-blown social media apocalypse.
Unsurprisingly, the internet reacted with its signature blend of moral panic and schadenfreude. Reddit threads dissected every pixel, with armchair psychologists diagnosing a range of covert conflicts. Twitter brimmed with clueless hot takes declaring this “proof” that celebrity families are fundamentally unstable. Meanwhile, Tish Cyrus has reportedly ignored the uproar, continuing her usual posts about country music and thanks-for-the-support messages—because why address global conjecture when you can share throwback photos of your kids instead?
If this feels familiar, it’s because we’ve been down this road many times: an accidental click spins into a full-blown headline, celebrities rush to contain the sensationalism, and everyone forgets it five minutes later—until the next digital kerfuffle. It’s a cycle that screams “we’re all collectively losing our minds,” yet we can’t tear our eyes away. Fans will move on to the next update, but not before speculating whether Miley’s next track will secretly critique “unfollowers,” and whether Tish will hold a press conference to prove she still loves her daughter. You know, critical cultural milestones.
