Miley Cyrus didn't hold back in showing her loyalty to her mother amid the controversy surrounding her estranged father Billy Ray Cyrus' leaked audio and texts.
In an update on X, formerly Twitter, and Instagram Wednesday, the "Flowers" hitmaker shared a series of behind-the-scenes snapshots from a shoot with Gucci. Among the images were two photos capturing her embracing her mother, Tish.

This post comes after leaked audio recordings appeared to support allegations made by the estranged wife of Billy Ray that she endured prolonged periods of "severe verbal, emotional, and psychological mistreatment."
Australian singer Firerose came forward with disturbing details of the alleged mistreatment she faced during her seven-month marriage to the "Achy Breaky Heart" hitmaker. Billy Ray filed for divorce in June, and proceedings are ongoing.
In one alleged audio recording, obtained by the Daily Mail, the 62-year-old country singer could be heard launching a vicious verbal assault on his significantly younger wife, spewing toxic insults and subjecting her to ridicule and humiliation in a relentless barrage.
During the heated exchange, sparked by Billy Ray's frustration over being held up before a performance, he warned her, "If you had just left it the f**k alone, now I'm really f**king pissed, once again showing you will not listen."
"I don't know who the f**k you think you are, but you will not listen...this ain't about nothing this is about you being a selfish f**king b***h," he could be heard saying in the alleged recording.
Billy Ray continued to unleash a string of expletives, with disdain evident in his voice.
"I don' think you're real smart, I've changed my mind on that s**t. What I think you are is a selfish f**king b***h. That's what you are," he told Firerose.
Another alleged recording indicated that Billy Ray showed animosity not just toward Firerose but toward other important women in his circle. Among them is his 31-year-old daughter Miley, whom he allegedly labeled as a "devil."
In a separate audio clip acquired by the outlet, the "Butterfly Fly Away" crooner referred to himself in the third person before shifting his attention to his daughter and delivering the surprising statement, "Everyone knows that devil's a skank."
According to Page Six, Billy Ray allegedly shared how he feels about Tish during a recent message exchange with his manager, Scott Adkins, calling her a deceitful woman with derogatory terms.
"She is a liar...a w***e...and a cheat. Complete skank. Scum of the earth. A fraud," Billy Ray allegedly wrote.
He further jokingly remarked in a text message that Tish "makes Deanna [sic] Lohan look like Mother Theresa [sic]," comparing his ex-wife and Lindsay Lohan's mother, Dina.
Music Times could not indepdently verify the authenticity of the audio recordings and text messages.
The divorce lawyers of Billy Ray -- who accused his estranged wife of being physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive -- have since responded to the controversy, claiming to Entertainment Tonight that Firerose leaked the audio to the Daily Mail in an "apparent last-ditch effort to squeeze money out of" the singer.
"Unfortunately, Ms. Hodges is attempting to litigate her case in the press for her own personal gain and in an attempt to harm our client's longstanding career, as she promised she would do if he tried to divorce her, which Mr. Cyrus alleged in a previous court filing," his lawyers said. "At this point Ms. Hodges has played her last card, while Mr. Cyrus, on the other hand, has much more material to present to the Court to demonstrate the lies that she made public throughout these proceedings."
