MILEY Cyrus‘ parents are clearly very laid back.
The singer’s controversial weed smoking onstage at the MTV Europe Music Awards may have shocked fans — but Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus aren’t worried.
“Before her performance on the U.K. X Factor, Miley confided to Nicole Scherzinger that her mom, Tish, wasn’t really upset about it,” a show insider who witnessed the Nov. 17 chat reveals in the new issue of Life & Style magazine.
A source close to the family explains that as Miley got older Tish became “more of a best friend than anything else.” And while mom is occasionally mortified by Miley’s antics, “Tish would never think to stage an intervention.
“No father likes to see his daughter humping a man onstage or doing drugs. But instead of taking action, he says he hopes it’s just a phase.”
