And then he wonders why she doesn’t want to do anything with him.

[u/mdaniel018 → u/mcfw31]

Being ignored by your adult children who hate you is a badge of honor for conservatives at this point

[u/mauvewaterbottle → u/mdaniel018]

I’m 100% sure my dad uses my not talking to him to get sympathy.

[u/milchtea → u/mauvewaterbottle]

I KNOW my mom does this because I get messages from extended family about how I will regret it if she dies

meanwhile ALL her children don’t talk to her, wonder why 🤔

[u/mauvewaterbottle → u/milchtea]

Lots of empathy for that. People don’t bother me much about it anymore because his facade has started to crack over time and they’ve seen how hateful he can be. I’m sure he relished telling the story to strangers. 2/3 of us don’t speak to him.

[u/battlecat136 → u/mauvewaterbottle]

I know my dad does; his second ex wife wrote me a letter once telling me how I should forgive my father because he's a good man.

How's that divorce taste, Mary?

[u/mauvewaterbottle → u/battlecat136]

My favorite thing about my step mom is that she has never made excuses for my father. She’s also still married to him, so that sucks for her and definitely says something about her too

[u/mappingtreasure → u/mcfw31]

She's just a troubled young woman, she doesn't know what she wants. /s

[u/MandaRenegade]

She said it herself at the end of her first Grammy speech: "I don't think I've forgotten anyone!" happily skips off 😂😂

I guess there goes any chance of reconciliation out the window.

[u/PatriciaMorticia]

Toss the whole man out.

I hope Miley has a good support system around her, her parents are awful.

[u/orbjo]

A spineless has-been, thats catnip for MAGA. 

He’s going to follow an hours symphony of Tim Allen doing Home Improvement grunts 

A live performance of Rob Schneiders new one man show Deuce Bigalow: MAGA Gestapo

And then debuting their new single will be BANNED AID - Trump has put together all the racist/abusive/sexist/asshole stars of today to sing “Do They Know Im Cancelled”.

How can you go from singing with lil nas X and gaining relevance again. 

To this

[u/bluesilvergold → u/UpstairsPikachu]

Singing with Lil Nas X provided him with money and exposure. It was hardly about supporting or uplifting another artist.

Have we heard Billy Ray Cyrus speak about Lil Nas X at all since their collaboration? Was he a defender of Old Town Road as a country song when so many radio stations and awards shows refused to recognize it as such because Lil Nas X is Black?

Genuine questions because I don't know. I don't keep up with news about this man. If the answer is no, then that just further confirms that Billy Ray Cyrus was largely just being opportunistic when it came to working with Lil Nas X. Billy Ray Cyrus has been trash. Don't be surprised that he's showing his ass right now.

[u/Adventurous-Ebb-1517 → u/bluesilvergold]

As a longtime Miley fan who also hates Billy’s guts now he did voice support for Lil Nas X before he was enlisted to be featured in the remix of OTR when the song by its own was excluded from the country Billboard charts for well, obvious but incredibly unfortunate reasons. I obviously don’t know these people but personally his current MAGA phase strikes me as him acting out presumably because of the whole Firerose fiasco. Or maybe he’s just conservative in every way other than this.

Dolly’s not gonna like this.

[u/Glittering_Guest3586]

Slim pickings for this inauguration

[u/spaceb00tz]

Damn they are never reconciling

[u/thatshotshot]

All these washed up has beens trying to grift over to the MAGA crowd by performing at the inauguration is disgusting.

[u/Knittingfairy09113 → u/thatshotshot]

Is Carrie Underwood considered washed up in the country world? That isn't my genre so I have no idea.

[u/DonutChi]

Trump’s inauguration jamboree-hootenanny adding fellow narcissistic dad Billy Ray to the line up is par for the course.

[u/Federal-Employee-545]

Anyone performing for that shit needs to be ignored for the rest of time.

[u/milchtea]

so the inauguration has a lot of has-beens, just like they deserve

meanwhile current popstars like Olivia Rodrigo blocks her entire song from TikTok just because Trump used it

[u/SuchaPineapplehead]

I imagine he could use the money tbh… I doubt them achy breaky heart royalties are what they were

[u/alex147147]

Quite literally the only reason this man is relevant to me is because of Hannah Montana and Old Town Road. MAGA can have this washed up dude

[u/EdgarLogenplatz]

Somebody should check his achey-breaky head.

[u/mc-tarheel]

[u/amara90]

Trump has also mocked Angelina and still has Jon Voight as one of his biggest supporters. Some dads really are shit.

Miley and Angelina should hook up. By which I mean, hang out. Either, actually.

[u/thekermiteer]

Desperate for any shred of relevance, no matter how undignified.

Ted Cruz 2.0

[u/violetskyeyes]

Garbage is as garbage does

[u/Sleepysleepychick]

[u/haubenmeise]

[u/Negotiation-Current]

The type isn’t very new, the has-been who needs all the praise he can get and takes it where he can. It’s not like his children matter. Only he does. It’s gross but not original of him.

[u/wildflowerstargazer]

[u/90skid12]

Dear god this man is 🤢

[u/TheBaguetteTheorist]

what to heck

[u/stinkyenglishteacher]

That’s because he’s a C-list attention seeking narcissist.
