In the age of social media, even a small click can spark big rumors—and Miley Cyrus and her mother, Tish Cyrus, are the latest example. Fans recently noticed that Tish was no longer following her daughter on Instagram, setting off a wave of speculation about possible family drama. But as both have now confirmed, the truth is far less dramatic.
The unfollow incident quickly went viral, with fans questioning whether something had gone wrong between the two. After all, Miley and Tish have always appeared to share a close and supportive relationship, both in public and on their social platforms.
Thankfully, Tish quickly addressed the confusion herself. Responding to concerned comments online, she clarified that the unfollowing was completely accidental. “I didn’t [unfollow her]! I have no idea what happened lol,” Tish wrote in response to a fan. “It’s fixed now!”
Miley also took to Instagram Stories to put the rumors to rest in her own voice. “I rarely comment on things like this, but come on—my mom is my best friend,” she wrote. “Like a lot of moms, she doesn’t always know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me. That’s all it was—just a tech glitch, nothing more.”

The pop star made it clear that there’s no tension between her and her mother, and that they continue to share a strong bond. Fans who’ve followed Miley over the years know how important family is to her, and it seems this small mishap hasn’t changed that.
In the end, the incident serves as a reminder that not everything we see—or don’t see—on social media tells the full story. What looked like a possible falling out was simply a case of accidental unfollowing, the kind of thing that could happen to anyone with a touchscreen and clumsy fingers.
So no drama here—just another reason to double-check your following list before the internet starts buzzing.
