MILEY CYRUS has never been one to bite her tongue, and it’s clearly the same when it comes to her own family.
I’ve learned the US superstar has fallen out with her country singer dad Billy Ray in a row so bad that they have cut contact with each other.

The pair are understood to have butted heads after Achy Breaky Heart star Billy announced his split from Miley’s mum Tish in April after almost 30 years.
Now they have made a point of unfollowing each other on Instagram in a very public sign of their feud.
A source said: “Miley is all about peace but she didn’t agree with some things that her father has done. It has really escalated and they are not on good terms.
“There were words exchanged over what happened towards the end of Billy and Tish’s marriage, and since then, but they clearly see things very differently.
“Neither of them is particularly eager to make amends right now without an apology.
“The rest of the family are hoping it will blow over soon and they will be able to make up, but Billy and Miley are both upset.”
To rub salt in the wound, although he no longer follows Miley on Instagram, Billy does follow her ex-husband, actor Liam Hemsworth.
The father and daughter have long been close, with Billy also playing her character Miley Stewart’s dad in the long-running Disney series Hannah Montana.
But they have had their ups and downs in the past and drifted apart when the show ended.
In 2011, he said of the series: “It destroyed my family. I’ll tell you right now, the damn show destroyed my family.
“I’d take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just everybody to be OK, safe and sound and happy and normal would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah!”
More recently they had been much closer and she had spoken at length about how important family was for her.
I have met Miley and she is one of the most charismatic and engaging celebrities in the game.
They would be fools to let a family feud come between them.
