We've known for a long time that there was some animosity brewing between Noah Cyrus and her mother, Tish. On her mother's wedding day last year at Miley's Malibu apartment, Noah thought it best to spend the day browsing her local Walmart with her brother Braison. He wore a shirt with her father (and Tish's ex) Billy Ray's face on it. This is petty on the surface, but with the additional context we got this week, it could be that Noah has issues with his mother for good reason. A source told Us Weekly that the argument started when Tish stole her younger daughter's new husband Dominic Purcell.
On March 1, People reported that Noah was “offended” by Tish's marriage to Purcell because Noah and Purcell had been together “on and off in a friends with benefits kind of way.” According to a People's source, Tish “started something” when they stopped seeing each other. The source claims that Tish knew about Noah's previous relationship but never gave her daughter the opportunity to discuss the situation before the wedding.
However, ET also reported on March 1 that the bad blood between Noah and Tish was “overblown,” although the source didn't deny that Purcell was a common denominator. “Noah and Tish haven’t been close since Tish started dating Dominic,” the source said. “It's also been an adjustment for Noah in general following her parents' divorce.” Confirming previous claims that Noah was left off the wedding guest list, the source told ET, “Tish didn't invite Noah to her wedding because of what she thought “That there would be a scene and a drama.” At the time of the wedding in August 2023, sources claimed that there was “no family drama” surrounding the event, only that Noah and Braison's schedules did not allow them to attend.
Previous reports painted a much bleaker picture of the relationship. “Noah and Tish haven’t spoken since the whole Dominic thing happened,” an insider claimed on February 29, according to Us Weekly. “Tish is spiraling out of control trying to figure out how to do it [defuse] The source added that Tish is conducting a crisis management interview. The situation between Noah and Purcell lasted “about 8 to 9 months,” the source said.
“Noah was [seeing] According to Us Weekly, another source revealed on February 27 that Tish was “aware” of the situation at the time when Tish started pursuing him. “The turmoil between Noah and Tish goes far beyond that [what people think]” the source claimed. “Noah is very upset that Tish stole Dominic from her.” Miley, the source added, sided with Tish and posted armed guards outside her villa during the wedding to keep the uninvited Noah out.
Tish and Billy Ray divorced for the third and perhaps final time in 2022. It looks like Billy Ray got Noah in the divorce, while Tish got Miley (who conspicuously left her dad out of her Grammy acceptance speech earlier). Year). As for the Purcell, Tish recently told the Call Her Daddy podcast that he first sent her a direct message in 2016, complicating the alleged man-stealing scheme. Maybe Miley, who just earned her doctorate and nursing degree from Pharrell, can help the family solve the problem.
