Pop superstar Miley Cyrus has spoken openly about a “really difficult, dark decade” her family went through—and how she led the unlikely and unorthodox journey to heal it.
According to Daily Mail, on the latest episode of Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky, the 32-year-old revealed that half of her family wasn’t speaking to each other at one point following her parents’ on‑again, off‑again relationship and their official divorce in 2022 .
“We’re so messy, we didn’t even do any of that,” Miley joked, referring to traditional therapy—calling it too chaotic to even coordinate a counselling session.
Instead, she chose “emotional decluttering”—by bringing people together, creating joy, rebuilding communication, and waving the white flag before attempting deep conversations.
“I just busted through the pile… ‘I’m here, you’re here, let’s have a good time’… then we were in a better place to talk,” she said (pagesix.com).
Miley admitted she felt intense loyalty toward her mother Tish, while also watching firsthand what happens when problems are ignored and “stacked up.”
Now, she says most of the silence and distance has faded.
