Miley Cyrus would like a moment of our time.

On Saturday, the artist released a rare statement about her family… amid chatter that she has been engaged in a long-time feud with both her parents, Tish and Billy Ray.

She felt a need to do so after the former stopped following her daughter on Instagram.

“I rarely comment on rumors, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us,” Miley said about this parent on her Instagram Stories on May 10.

“She’s my best friend. Like a lot of moms, she doesn’t know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me-simple, coincidental, and uninteresting.”

After fans pointed out on social media that it appeared Tish had un-followed the singer the day before, Tish clarified in a comment that she had “no idea how that happened but it’s fixed now!”

The 57-year-old also noted on Twitter: “I would never unfollow Miley, her and I are as close as we’ve always been.”

The relationship between Miley and father Billy Ray has been a lot more tenuous for awhile now.

That’s partly what happens after one side refers to the other as The Devil.

Miley, in this latest message, acknowledged the “challenges” she and her dad have faced of late, but emphasized:

“Now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else. I’m at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing. Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family.”

Earlier this year, after Billy Ray’s controversial Presidential inauguration performance, the Cyrus family made headlines when Trace Cyrus shared an open letter of concern addressed to the country artist.

“It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you,” the 36-year-old wrote in January.

“Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away.”

For her part, Miley has been open about where things stand between her and Billy Ray; it seems complicated.

In a previous interview with David Letter, she said that her father provided her with “a map of what to do and what not to do, and he’s guided me on both.”

She added that she “also inherited the narcissism from my father.”

“Without my dad, I know — I mean, not just literally I wouldn’t be sitting in this chair, I wouldn’t exist — but I would not, who I am as a person, it wouldn’t exist. Because my dad, as a creative and as an artist in the way that his brain works, has always made me feel safer in my own mind because we’re very similar in our ideas,” Miley said.

“So I think a lot of his perspective on reality and on life, I’ve inherited from him, more so than the way that I was raised — which really, my mom raised me.”

She also stated back then:

“Honestly, my mom is my hero.”
