Miley Cyrus showed her support for her mother, Tish Cyrus, after her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, was overheard making derogatory comments about the music manager in leaked audio and texts obtained by Page Six on Wednesday.

The Grammy winner, 31, shared behind-the-scenes photos from a Gucci photo shoot on X and Instagram, including two pictures of her warmly embracing Tish, 57.

Although it's unclear if the slideshow was intended to publicly align her with her mother, it is known that the “Flowers” singer has been estranged from her father for some time.

When Miley accepted the award for record of the year at the Grammys in February, she notably excluded Billy Ray, 62, from her speech, expressing gratitude only to her mom, sister, “love,” and stylists.

“I don’t think I forgot anyone — but I might have forgotten underwear. Bye!” she added at the time.

In a recent interview on David Letterman’s “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction,” the “Wrecking Ball” singer said she “inherited the narcissism” from Billy Ray. She also called Tish her “hero” at the time.

On Wednesday, Page Six obtained text messages in which Billy Ray called Tish a “liar,” “whore,” and a “cheat,” likely deepening the rift between him and his famous daughter.

“Complete Skank. Scum of the earth. A fraud. Makes Deanna [sic] Lohan look like Mother Theresa [sic],” the “Achy Breaky Hart” singer added in the heated messages.

In a shocking recording obtained by Page Six, Billy Ray criticized Tish for being “impregnated by two different men, and had those two children before she met” him, adding, “Everyone knows devil’s a skank.”

The former couple were married from 1993 to 2002 before Tish filed for divorce. Besides Miley, they share a son, Braison Cyrus, 30, and a daughter, Noah Cyrus, 24.
