DOLLY STEPS IN TO HEAL NASTY CYRUS FAMILY FEUD LY FEUD

Shock allegation­s of a love triangle have torn them apart

-

Dolly Parton is racing to save the Cyrus family from implosion after bombshell allegation­s that Miley’s mum Tish stole her husband, Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell, from her youngest daughter Noah.

In a bizarre report published in the US, a source claims that Tish, 56, began dating Dominic, 54, only after he was involved with Noah, 24.

“Noah was seeing Dominic when Tish started pursuing him,” a source told Us Weekly, adding that Tish “was aware of this when she began to contact the star”.

FAMILY DRAMA

Since then, the claims have been refuted. “Noah never dated Dominic and they were not together,” one insider insists.

“Noah has always craved attention because she did not get it growing up. She is delusional to think otherwise and is trying to create a narrative that will paint her as a victim.”

Whether the rumours are true or not remains to be seen, however Dolly, 78, who was asked to be Miley’s godmother by her father Billy Ray while they were touring together in the early ’90s, is said to be “heartbroke­n” by the rift.

She has put a hold on promoting her new album and has flown from Tennessee to LA, where she’s taking on the role as the family’s peacemaker.

“Billy Ray and Miley are like family to Dolly,” an insider reveals. “She can’t stand that they’re not talking.”

Whispers of a feud in the family have been simmering ever since mum Tish and father Billy Ray, 62, filed for divorce in 2022, with the news said to have caused ripples within the Cyrus compound.

However, it wasn’t until the parents found and married new partners that a divide – particular­ly among the once inseparabl­e siblings, Brandi, 36,

‘Dolly told Miley cutting out her father is a mistake’

Trace, 35, Miley, 31, Christophe­r, 31, Braison, 29, and Noah – became evident.

In 2022, Miley sensationa­lly unfollowed her father on social media after he announced his engagement to his much younger girlfriend, Australian musician Firerose, 34.

At the time, sources claimed that the Hannah Montana star struggled to come to terms with her father dating a woman her age. While this was said to have brought her closer to her mother Tish, Noah and her brother Braison appeared to gravitate towards their father.

The pair were noticeably absent from their mother and Dominic’s nuptials last year, publicly posting about spending their day at a department store instead.

Tellingly, Noah uploaded videos of her sporting Billy Ray merchandis­e, clearly pointing at where her loyalties lie.

DISRESPECT

She then added fuel to the feud rumours when she publicly called out Miley after a podcast interview resurfaced on TikTok.

The Wrecking Ball songstress labelled her sister’s record The End Of Everything “the most depressing EP you’ll ever listen to”. Later, Noah uploaded a snippet of the interview to X (Twitter), adding the caption, “The disrespect in this video...”

Having been close to the Cyrus family for decades, Dolly knows just how close they were – and how far they’ve fallen. She’s hoping that she can get through to them by getting to the core of the problem, which she believes starts with Miley and Billy Ray.

In a recent interview, Dolly expressed how she often gives Miley advice, but sources say she has sadly found herself in the middle of the drama.

“Dolly has told Billy to apologise, which has caused a lot of tension between them,” tells one insider, who adds that their closeness has subsided in recent months.

“Billy wants to sort things out himself and doesn’t necessaril­y want Dolly involved.”
