amid speculation about a larger Cyrus family feud, reported E! News.
"The timing was interesting," Miley said on the June 19 episode of Sorry We're Cyrus. "If you were in the family or not in the family, it was weird timing."
Tish said "that is true," before the Hannah Montana alum explained why the timing was so notable.
"Like, I went to go see
Billy Ray
and you mysteriously unfollowed me Tish," Miley teased, "and then you got some backlash and then suddenly you knew how to press that follow button real quick. I'm just kidding!"
Miley shared the truth behind the unfollowing, saying, "The truth is, which is boring, is there's a bug in Meta," referring to the company that owns
Instagram
.
Their explanation remained in line with what the duo had previously said about the incident, too.
When she was asked about the social media activity back in May, Tish--who is also mom to Trace, 36, Braison, 30, and Noah, 25, with ex Billy Ray--wrote on Instagram at the time, "Have no idea how that happened but it's fixed now," reported E! News.
"I would never unfollow Miley, her and I are as close as we've always been," Tish added on X.

"Period. Love you Little."
Meanwhile, Miley made sure it was known that nothing could ever come between her and Tish.
"I rarely comment on rumors, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us," she wrote on Instagram a few days later. "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."
While Miley later admitted that half of her family "weren't speaking to each other at one point," she shed some light into how she and her father "cleaned all that up," reported E! News.
"In that situation, I watched what happens when you don't clean things up as they're happening," she said on Monica Lewinsky's Reclaiming podcast earlier this month. "They really do stack, and then all of a sudden you go, 'Oh my god, it's been 10 years, and this is a mess that I barely even know how to start.' This is emotional hoarding."
"I just kind of bust through the pile that's stacked, and just go, 'I'm here. You're here. Let's start by having a good time together,'" Miley added. "And then as we start bringing some happiness and joy into each other's life, then we'll just be in a better place to have these conversations. 'Cause I'd rather get it balanced first," reported E! News.

Jessica Radcliffe orca attack video confirmed as fake; attention turns to the Kiska the world's loneliest whale story - here's what you need to know

A recent viral video claiming to show marine trainer Jessica Radcliffe being fatally attacked by an orca during a live performance sparked widespread outrage and concern. The footage, shared extensively on platforms like TikTok, Facebook, and X, depicted a dramatic and shocking scene. However, investigations revealed that the video was entirely AI-generated, and the events depicted were completely fictional. Despite its virality, fact-checking organizations, news outlets, and marine authorities confirmed that no such incident occurred, and there is no credible evidence of a marine trainer named Jessica Radcliffe. The voices in the video were also artificially synthesized, further confirming the fabrication. Jessica Radcliffe orca attack viral video : The truth behind the online sensation The video portrayed a marine trainer named Jessica Radcliffe performing with an orca at the fictional "Pacific Blue Marine Park." In the footage, the orca allegedly attacks and kills Radcliffe during the performance. However, investigations confirmed that the video is a hoax created using AI-generated images and voices. There is no record of a marine trainer named Jessica Radcliffe, and the incident never occurred as reported by various news sources. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Undo Experts identified several indicators that the video was artificially created: Inconsistent visuals: The orca's movements and the trainer's interactions were unnatural and lacked the fluidity typical of real-life performances. Synthetic audio: The voices in the video exhibited unnatural pauses and intonations characteristic of AI-generated speech. Fictional setting: The "Pacific Blue Marine Park" does not exist, and no credible sources reported such an incident. These elements collectively point to the video being a deliberate fabrication designed to deceive viewers. Inside the dark world of orcas: Fatal trainer attacks and all about world's loneliest whale Kiska While the Jessica Radcliffe incident is fictional, there have been real cases of orca attacks on trainers. One notable example is the death of trainer Dawn Brancheau at SeaWorld Orlando in 2010 as reported by . Brancheau was killed by the orca Tilikum during a performance, which sparked widespread debate about the ethics of keeping orcas in captivity. The viral video also drew attention to Kiska, an orca who spent over 40 years in captivity, primarily at Marineland in Niagara Falls, Canada. Known as the "world's loneliest orca," Kiska lived alone for the final 12 years of her life after the death of her last companion. She passed away in March 2023 from a bacterial infection. Kiska: Canada's last captive orca and the world's loneliest whale Kiska, the last orca in captivity in Canada, lived her entire adult life at Marineland, a marine amusement park in Niagara Falls. Widely known as the world's loneliest whale, Kiska became the focus of global outrage when a 2021 video showed her repeatedly banging her head against the walls of her tank, highlighting the psychological toll of captivity. Public appeals for her release spread widely, though she never returned to the ocean. Kiska early life Kiska was captured from Icelandic waters in 1979 at just three years old. Her free life in the open ocean was abruptly replaced with human-imposed captivity that would last until her death at the age of 46. After her capture, she was transferred to Marineland, where she would spend the next four decades. In the early 2000s, Marineland sought a male partner for Kiska. SeaWorld agreed to send their male orca, Ikaika, who was four years old, in exchange for three beluga whales. Ikaika was introduced to Kiska and another female orca, Nootka, in an effort to provide social interaction and companionship. Kiska's life of isolation and struggle in captivity Kiska's life in captivity was fraught with difficulties. Ikaika developed behavioral and health problems common in captive orcas, becoming aggressive and biting Kiska. By 2009, SeaWorld requested his return to provide better care, leading to a legal dispute with Marineland. SeaWorld ultimately won, and Ikaika was returned to California. Around the same time, Nootka passed away, leaving Kiska entirely alone. She became widely known as 'the loneliest whale in the world.' During her life, Kiska gave birth to five calves, all of whom died at a young age. Observers frequently noted abnormal behaviors in Kiska, such as repetitive swimming in circles, floating lifelessly, or banging her head against the tank walls. These behaviors were indicative of stress, boredom, and lack of stimulation—a stark contrast to life in the wild, where orcas swim tens of miles per day and interact socially with their pods. Kiska's final years and the end of orca captivity in Canada In 2019, Canada passed legislation banning the breeding and captivity of whales, dolphins, and porpoises. However, animals already in captivity, including Kiska, were required to remain in their tanks. This law highlighted the challenges of correcting decades of captivity while underscoring the loneliness and suffering experienced by Kiska, who never returned to the ocean. Kiska passed away in 2023 at the age of 47. Orcas are highly social creatures, and despite widespread appeals for her release, Kiska spent her final days isolated, floating lifelessly, or banging her head against the tank walls. Her life serves as a sobering reminder of the cruelty and ethical dilemmas of keeping intelligent marine mammals in captivity. Kiska deserved to live in the ocean with her family, but instead became an emblem of the consequences of human entertainment on wild animals. Why Kiska was called the world's loneliest whale Kiska was called the world's loneliest whale because she spent her final 12 years completely alone at Marineland, Canada. After the deaths and removal of her tankmates, she had no social interaction—an unnatural condition for orcas, which are highly social animals living in pods in the wild. Her repetitive behaviors, like swimming in circles, floating listlessly, and banging her head against the tank walls, highlighted the stress and isolation caused by captivity.

Rajinikanth's Coolie has a Christopher Nolan movie inspiration: Guess the unexpected Hollywood twist

Tamil filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj , known for blending Indian cinema with global influences, has reportedly drawn inspiration from Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight for his upcoming film Coolie. According to Tollywood star Nagarjuna Akkineni, who plays the villain in the film, Lokesh referenced Heath Ledger's iconic Joker for the character's costumes and overall vibe. Pinkvilla reported that Nagarjuna explained in a conversation with Shruti Haasan that the director wanted to capture the 'madness' he saw in Joker, particularly through the costume design. 'I think Loki had Heath Ledger's Joker in his mind, and he wanted that madness. He probably saw the madness in the colour as well,' Nagarjuna said, highlighting the unique purple-and-cream costume he dons in the movie.

He recalled, 'Loki told the dress designers. They got two or three options. He saw and said, 'This is it. This is the one I want.' I also had a jacket. Purple jacket. It was really good. I never wore those colours.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Undo Describing the outfit as unconventional, Nagarjuna added, 'It is a very strange dress. I mean, even for me, it's baggy pants.' Shruti Haasan agreed, observing that the costume combines elements of both Heath Ledger's Joker and the traditional Joker imagery. Nagarjuna humorously remarked that he was 'glad he didn't put on that smile.' Preparing for a Negative Role Nagarjuna, who has predominantly played heroic characters, revealed that he approached this negative role differently. He recorded the narration for the first time and took detailed notes before agreeing to play Simon, the character inspired by Joker. The actor reflected, 'The story starts with Simon's character. For the first time, I've recorded the narration and made notes to decide on the character. I never did this earlier.' Even Superstar Rajinikanth, playing the titular role, was reportedly impressed with Nagarjuna's portrayal. 'After the shot was over, Rajini sir nodded and said 'hmmm' (with a sweet smile),' Nagarjuna recalled. Coolie, featuring Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, and Aamir Khan, is releasing in theatres on August 14.
