Miley Cyrus Facing Sobriety Struggles Amid Personal Turmoil, Sources Say
Friends express concern over the singer's battle with sobriety, recent family conflicts, and the loss of her godmother, Dolly Parton.
Singer Miley Cyrus is reportedly navigating a difficult period marked by renewed struggles with sobriety and significant personal upheaval, according to sources close to the artist. The Grammy winner's challenges extend beyond her personal battles, encompassing a "power struggle" with her fiancé, Maxx Morando, and the recent death of her influential godmother, Dolly Parton.
Friends have voiced concerns about Cyrus's well-being, noting that the artist has been seeking help. The timing of Parton's death, in particular, is seen by some as a significant blow, given their close relationship. "Dolly was someone she could turn to for advice, and not having her around has been really difficult," a source told the Daily Mail.
Adding to the complexity of Cyrus's personal life is a reported "ick" factor and power struggle with Morando. "She let her fans know that she is annoyed with Maxx at times," said a separate insider, suggesting underlying tensions in their relationship.
The singer's professional life has also faced challenges. Insiders suggest that her recent performances at the Hollywood Bowl were indicative of underlying issues, and her latest album has not achieved the desired chart success. "Professionally, things haven’t been moving in the direction she’d hoped," one source commented, referencing the disappointing chart performance of her album "Bass Persuades."
This period of personal strain follows a tumultuous family feud. Claims emerged that Cyrus's mother, Tish, had a relationship with Dominic Purcell, a man previously involved with Cyrus's younger sister, Noah. The scandal reportedly intensified existing family rifts.
"She’s also watching people around her move into new chapters of their lives," an insider explained, hinting at Cyrus's own contemplation of future paths. One consideration for the singer is a return to acting, a career she began as a child star on "Hannah Montana." "One thing she's been considering is getting back into acting, because she wants the opportunity to show people there's more to her than the Miley Cyrus persona they've known for years," said the insider.
Cyrus has a history of navigating sobriety, having publicly embraced sobriety in the past. The current concerns among her inner circle suggest a renewed effort to maintain her path amidst significant personal and professional pressures.
