Sometimes, there are gossip stories which involve so much gossip history, you sound like a crazy person if you try to explain all of the moving parts. So, I will attempt to explain this and I apologize in advance for sounding crazy. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were on-and-off for over a decade, they married in 2018 and divorced in 2020 and Miley still sounds hung up on Liam sometimes (but not all the time). Miley’s younger sister Noah was dating/hooking up with Dominic Purcell before Noah’s mother Tish “stole” Dominic from Noah, and Tish and Dominic got married last year. Miley knew about Noah and Dominic, and Miley still took Tish’s side. Well… Liam Hemsworth posted a gym selfie/thirst trap and Noah “liked” the Instagram.
Noah Cyrus liked Liam Hemsworth’s latest selfie amid the Cyrus family’s drama. On April 5, Hemsworth, 34 — who was married to Noah’s older sister Miley Cyrus from 2018 to 2020 — showed off his muscular arms in a gym selfie on Instagram, and Noah, 24, liked the post.
The gesture comes amid drama in the Cyrus family that escalated following the 2022 split of Miley, 31, and Noah’s parents, Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus. Rumors of drama between members of the Cyrus family — which also includes the sisters’ siblings Brandi, Trace, Christopher and Braison — ramped up after Tish’s wedding to Dominic Purcell in August 2023.
In an intimate ceremony at Miley’s Malibu home, Tish, 56, married the Prison Break star, and only some of her kids were present for the nuptials. Trace, 35, attended, while Brandi, 36, and Miley served as bridesmaids. Noah and Braison, both of whom Tish shares with Billy Ray, were not present at the ceremony. And, on the day of the wedding, Noah shared a photo to her Instagram Stories of her wearing a Billy Ray T-shirt with brother Braison, 29.
People Magazine ran several exclusives about this hillbilly soap opera so I don’t know why they’re being so cryptic about why Noah is beefing with Miley and Tish. Miley has repeatedly taken Tish’s side and Miley reportedly even hired security at Tish and Dominic’s wedding because Miley feared that Noah would crash the wedding. Noah literally slept with their stepfather in 2022, before Tish started up with Dominic! So, yeah, Noah is trying to get a rise out of Miley. You know Miley still cares too – it’s not like “oh, Liam should go and live his life, I don’t care.” No, Miley is going to be torn up about this. I’m kind of obsessed with just how tacky all of this is.

Ugh. Noah needs counseling. I knew this wasn’t about her mom and was solely about her rivalry with Miley. Girl…lay off the fillers and get a life. As if Liam would ever even think of associating with a Cyrus again in this lifetime.
I mean I don’t know that I’d say it’s solely about her rivalry with Miley. I’d imagine she’s also not happy that her mom married someone she used to hook up with. Both things are probably true.
I really don’t understand why a 24 year old is surprised that a 54 year old man would prefer to be with her 56 year old mother rather than her!!!
How boring would she be, 30 years younger than him? Find someone your own age silly girl!
@Emme
Not you blameing the 24 year old for a 54 year old man praying on someone 30 his joiner and then going after her mother.
Your comment says so much…..
@Raven, the article is about HER. So my comments are about HER. She’s a silly girl, and an immature 24 year old. Her behaviour since the break up demonstrates that.
Had the article been about him I’d have said he was a dirty old man and should have found someone closer to his own age (which he eventually did) and not be a cradle snatcher.
Exactly! Lainey kind of covered this when all of this crap came out and she was like ‘why? Like who even cares about these three and I promise you, that nobody was digging around for information on this before it was leaked. So who benefits from it?’ All signs point to Noah. Her mom married Dominic last summer but the news that Noah had been seeing him prior to this didn’t come out then. It came out after Miley won her first Grammy. Miley has nothing to do with this ‘love triangle’ other than siding with her mom. It’s been known for years that she’s incredibly close to her mother but not a ton is known about her relationship with Noah. It’s all sick but at the same time, I don’t think Noah comes out of this looking any better than the other two. She looks just as ridiculous and unbelievably petty. Every time Miley’s name is dragged into this crap, she (Noah) is telling on herself.
Everyone understands the deeply effed up situation where Noah’s boyfriend (?) wound up with her mother. The pain connected to that and the various family dynamics are clear.
However, this liking Miley’s ex’s thirst trap is a choice. The best thing would be to disconnect from people who hurt you and seek help. Don’t pour gasoline and light a match, you know?
Noah’s boyfriend? That’s probably stretching it a lot.
This poor girl. Counseling, zero social media reading or posting, get a decent education, a job, take some time & figure things out.
I cannot imagine growing up around people like Tish, Billy Rae and Miley. Noah didn’t stand much of a chance with that group and these comments strike me as unkind. I will admit that I don’t know a thing about Noah but Tish’s move crosses a line no mother should cross. It’s just never ok to marry your daughter’s sexual partner, even if they were never serious. And Noah is barely into adulthood. I don’t know, it’s just gross all around and I’m not sure why Noah gets cruxified for liking a stupid picture of an ex and Tish skates for marrying an actual ex.
This!
Noah has always been pretty open about her insecurities about being able to match up to Miley and even wrote songs about it but up until a couple years ago they were still close. It was sort of reminiscent of how Ashlee Simpson was about Jessica except Noah’s music was MUCH darker than Ashlee’s but even with that it seemed like she didn’t blame Miley for it and Miley was supportive so I do think this thing with Trish’s new husband is what sent her over the edge. Maybe she’s mad Miley took Trish’s side and now it’s compounded her old jealousy. Either way: I’d also feel some kind of way if my mom married someone i hooked up with. It’s weird.
She like the picture because her sister is on her mom’s side who married Noah’s ex. She’s giving Miley a little taste of her own medicine. Miley isn’t the victim here.
I can’t wait for this no eyebrows trend to be over. Someone needs to tell that poor girl that she does not have the face for no brows
I used to plug mine like crazy when I was a teenager and everyday I’m so glad they’ve grown back because yikes, this was such a dark time. The worst part is that they might never grow back and you’re stuck with no eyebrows for the rest of your life.
Yes! I mean, look at how Amanda Palmer turned out.
If she wants to continue with fillers, she needs a better dermatologist. Her fillers are a mess.
I would imagine unless Billy Ray is paying, this woman doesn’t have a lot of money. And you know Miley has probably cut her off. Where exactly is she getting her money?
She could have Trichotillomania and pull that hair. Mine aren’t as bad but sometimes better than other and might as well shave them.
Whoa. What happened? Her eyes are traumatized and dead looking. I hope she will be OK.
Trish ruined her family the first time she cheated on Billy. Now she married Noah’s ex, just 🤢!!! Miley and Noah are both emotionally damaged because of their family life.
I think Miley will always be hung up on him in some ways because she is only in her early 30s and spent a decade with him. I think she should also remember why it was so tumultuous those 10 years. They are so not a personality match. I don’t have anything to say about the stepfather stuff, but that picture of Noah makes me a little concerned. It could just be a very unflattering poorly timed photo, but if it isn’t whoa.
A heart on an Instagram photo seems kind of benign compared to what her mother did. But I am kind of amused. It’s hard to get worked up for Miley since it’s only a heart.
This family is way past tackiness at this point so a heart on a brother-in-law’s thirst trap photo seems the least alarming. Though I am still kind of laughing at the entire drama.
Interesting…my take was that Miley was the one who left Liam because she outgrew him. I never got the impression that she was hung up on him, more that she resents him for cheating and being the same basic guy throughout their 10 year relationship. I do believe that Noah liking Liam’s selfie would bother the hell out of Miley because she correctly would realize that Noah’s trying to get back at Miley for supporting Tish.
I wonder if this would actually bother Miley. Sleeping with him would bother her. But a heart is just a heart. And I can’t see Liam being attracted to Noah. Dominic is some kind of bizarre anomaly in the world of dating. And so is the mother. The mother is definitely an anomaly!!!
Going by her past behaviour, I think she would make a big deal out of it. That girl lives on drama.
Ok so he was a pretty “known” cheater right? I never really paid attention to them but I remember way back in the day seeing him and January Jones at some after party and it let off all the red flags. I don’t know if she was cheating as well but, I think that when you get with someone in your late teens , lose your virginity to them and end up marrying them they’re always going to cause a pang even if the rest of the relationship was a dumpster fire.
It’s like they live in a backwoods country holler with just a few men to date and sleep with eww. There’s a whole big world out there full of men they should be able to find one that hasn’t been with one of their family members already.
lol I think you just described all of Hollywood
I just wrote a comment about these posts in general talking about hillbillies, but want to specifically respond to your comment here. I know you’re a frequent commenter, but I can’t recall if you live in the US or the UK so I don’t want to make assumptions about your familiarity with Appalachia and the 150+ year-long practice of ridiculing and dehumanizing people from Appalachia with exactly the kind of stereotypes you bring up here. (And plenty of even more offensive tropes and stereotypes). These kinds of things were part of a concerted campaign by outside capitalists to ensure no one outside Appalachia would give a shit about the people living there being horrendously exploited, oppressed and displaced so the coal, steel, timber (and now the drug companies among others) could destroy people and our environment in order to extract billions and billions of dollars in wealth leaving people powerless and in wretched, grinding poverty.
I know it seems like an offhand comment but it is harmful and hurtful and there’s a dark, complicated history underneath every joke like that. One of the things I love about the celebitchy community is everyone’s openness to hearing from a different perspective and being willing to learn, so I mean this in the kindest most respectful way possible.
@KC thank you for this information. I was not aware of the history that there was a concerted campaign to dehumanizing people who live in the Appalachian region.
Also it’s the easy way to dismiss people and feel superior by attributing relationship-hopping or bed-hopping within a close group to trashiness, but it’s more common than we want to realize in a lot of cultures. Read about Truman Capote’s swans and how often they and their spouses had affairs and even marriages within their close circle of friends. How about the British nobility?
This.
Thanks KC for your post.
KC, thank you for posting this. I’m not from Appalachia, but I went there frequently in my 20s (for hiking, river rafting, etc.). Your explanation of the interests that are served by perpetuating the stereotypes is so dead on. Coal mine disasters? It’s ok, it’s just hillbillies! Opiod crisis? Just hillbillies, who cares? This devaluing and dehumanizing language and attitude has to stop.
There are two terms for hillbilly 1. Uneducated and from Appalachia and 2.Old Fashion and country music related. I hear what you are saying about the people of Appalachia.
Aren’t most of the people from Appalachia Trump supporters? I’d feel more sorry for them if they weren’t supporting that asshole.
Yeah MsLove brings up a good point, which is that while the exploitation and dehumanization of these people is awful, they consistently vote for the people who do this the most to their communities because of their own racism. As opposed to the numerous Black and POC populations who also suffer from dehumanization and are usually the ones saving our asses in many elections (and yes I live in a state adjacent to these areas). Just food for thought.
Actually the people from Appalachia used to vote more for democrats. During the latter part of the 20th century (around the time the voting demographics changed) the population changed. People raised in the Appalachians were more likely to leave for other jobs and moving to the Appalachians became popular. In the 2020 election 17.7% of votes in Appalachia were for Trump, 8.7% for Biden and the rest for write-ins and other parties.
KC thank you for this. I’m guilty of using such terminology despite my dad being the oldest of 7 from a holler in Kentucky. I’ve done some research into this and the term “redneck” – also very surprising and connected to the same campaign against the working man you mentioned.
For myself I try to use the term “zero sum mentality”; a new one I learned today is “crab pot mentality”. Quite the visual image there.
I live in the suburbs and it’s incredible to witness the ecosystem within the social expectations here. Every time I think it can’t be topped, someone goes and tops it. Prior to 2020 I was IN it. I cared. I behaved badly. I let it get to me and change me. The pandemic is not the only reason I stopped; I sort of sank my own battleship and chose not to play again, and the pandemic made that choice easier. Four years later I’m watching it play out with a whole new group of people that I am tangentially connected to because our kids are on the same school team but I just stay out of it. I learned the hard way. I don’t get involved. They all talk trash about each other, sometimes to me, I know what that means. So I show up, do my parenting thing, go home, and enjoy my alone time. I’m not friends with any of them on social media, and I’m barely on social media any longer as well.
My point is that this is present in every social setting. Schools, mom groups, gym classes, church, everywhere. It’s not hillbilly or redneck drama. It’s just part of clique culture. I’m not willing to keep doing it.
K C that happens in every country, not just in the Appalachians, my in-laws are from the Northern mountains in my country, and married among their own social “class”, instead of mixing with natives, and they ended all intermarrying, they used to jokingly make fun of my MIL for also marrying an second or third degree uncle, they”blamed” their parents dna because one of them is a class A a** LOL
@MS Love and C, I knew this one was coming. This is another common variety of the same trope. Before it was Trump it was a string of other shitty politicians and the liberal response was basically, if you people are so fucking stupid to vote for X then you get what you deserve etc. etc. That incredibly simplistic way of looking at politics in Appalachia is missing a whole lot of important context and it ends up reinforcing the lack of long-term on the ground organizing and investments in supporting and building on a progressive voter base that’s there but has never been invested in for a whole lot of complicated reasons. (In addition to coming from families who’ve been in Appalachia for over 200 years, I spent nearly two decades working in progressive politics begging progressive organizations to invest in organizing in Appalachian states so this is a topic I could write a book about and can’t really get into enough detail here).
I’d say to anyone who is interested in understanding a little more about history, politics – and race – in Appalachia, read Elizabeth Catte’s book, What They’re Getting Wrong About Appalachia. She wrote it in response to JD Vance’s absolute trash pile of a book, Hillbilly Elegy, and it’s one of the best and most succinct telling of all this really old and complicated stuff for both readers inside and outside Appalachia.
Thank’s everyone for reading my Ted Talks today!
Thank you KC. I’ve done some organizing myself and would never go so far as to say these populations “deserve” the after effects of such votes, but I live in Ohio and am well aware of the increased dominance of conservative politics since 2000 in the region. The recent political victory of JD Vance is particularly disheartening and that in itself why I don’t think we can be so quick to dismiss the identifications of the people in these regions (although of course, they are not the only Ohio voters). I understand Catte’s argument that the diversity of the Appalachian region has been largely ignored but the amplification of white voices in this context even as she admits much of this diversity is not as present is important. But it is true that the popularity of this narrative is probably emphasized by white conservatives who have few actual ties to Appalachia. It can also be true at the same time that Catte’s argument that these areas are more diverse than we think does not necessarily indicate a lack of bigotry – as the history of the Deep South shows. Catte herself states she doesn’t support the idea of a homogenous identification through the region, so perhaps continuing to ask the question why the coalescence of conservative support remains is pertinent. Nevertheless thank you for the input (forgive me if I am misremembering any of her arguments, it’s been a while since I read it).
@ KC–Very thoughtful comments so thank you. In 1992 Bill Clinton won counties in Appalachia with over 70 percent of the vote in the general election–it wasn’t always MAGA country. Instead of blaming Appalachia for swinging towards Trump, maybe we should ask WHY? My guess is that neoliberal politics didn’t do anything good for coal towns–or anyone else, really. Empty towns, environmental degradation, struggling families, economic insecurity and anxiety, are all results of neoliberal policies.
Maybe some interesting songs will come out from this mess.
Can y’all stop with the hillbilly language? There are plenty of ways to write about the trashiness of this family without calling them hillbillies. And to be truly accurate, they all live in California. Find some new words to use that aren’t punching down on a whole group of people who are just trying to live in their hollers and hills after 150 years of ridicule and dehumanization created to allow their exploitation and oppression by powerful capitalists and their pet politicians. Like seriously, y’all are better than this.
This 👆🏻
Yes. Thank you.
This 100%
You say hillbilly soap opera, I say Agatha Christie novel.
This situation is kinda reminding me of the BRF and the aristocracy.
If it’s just a like (as I understand it), I think this whole conversation is a tempest in a teapot as it were. He was part of her family for a long time.
It does feel like one Insta like is carrying a lot gossip weight here.
I don’t have any social media, so do people really notice every time somebody “likes” somebody else’s picture? Do you get a list of everything everyone else did all day or would somebody with a million followers like Miley Cyrus even notice this if nobody wrote a story about it?
If Miley follows both Liam and her sister on Instagram (which I doubt), then she (or her social media manager) would see the heart.
I think it’s possible the algorithm could somehow point it out to her as she’s randomly scrolling. I have my doubts she scrolls though. I don’t think she’d have the time. But Instagram will show you other people’s posts in your feed, and if you previously followed someone I could see their post showing up on your feed whether you like it or not.
God this family is messy.
Well I just checked Liam’s insta and he still follows Noah, Billy Ray and Tish. Just because he and Miley divorced, they don’t have to hate each others families. And Noah knows him since she was a cild
I just hope Liam will be a decent replacement for Henry Cavill in The Witcher. Tough shoes to fill.
Tbh, season 3 was such a mess with don’t think it will matter.
Season 2 was bad enough but 3? What a disaster.
Sadly, have to agree.
This girl needs some serious help.
If Miley was telling Noah that it’s no big deal their mom is sleeping with Noah’s ex, then Miley should also be totally fine with her ex Liam sleeping with Noah, right? I think Noah is just trying to rile up her sister to publicly highlight Miley’s hypocrisy. Is it trashy? YES! Can I understand Noah lashing out after being treated so terribly by her mom, sister, and ex fling? Also YES.
This gal’s face will haunt my nightmares for days
I just feel so bad for her. How can she look herself in the mirror every morning & be happy? Whatever ‘professional’ did what they did to her face should be fired immediately. And she needs to stop whatever that is–fillers? And leave the brows alone. Bleach them if you want to try something new, but don’t shave them!
We don’t know what is really happening in the family. It sounds like there is hurt all around. As a mom of two (now grown) women, I would not date or marry a guy who hooked up with one of my daughters —it is not a moral judgement. Here’s why I have this opinion:
Blended families are hard to navigate, especially with older children. Tish married a man who had a previous relationship with one of her daughters, making a difficult situation harder.
My hope would be that we could talk about this situation without bringing anyones’ looks up, geez.
I think we’re commenting because her looks are the result of choice, not happenstance of birth.
Noah is 24?! Lord. She needs to stop with the filler and stuff, she looks ridiculous! Go seek therapy, heal, move on and live your best life – it’s the best revenge!
She needs to lay off the drugs
Miley’s ok with her mother MARRYING her sister’s boyfriend but she’s supposed to be upset her sister LIKED a social media post from her ex? Make it make sense !!!
Poor Noah, horrible family.
