Miley Cyrus may be all grown up, but her mother is still willing to put her in her place — like during their family vacation, when Tish Cyrus called her daughter a "bratty millennial" for spending too much time on her phone.
The 26-year-old singer was so busy sharing photos of their wilderness trip to social media that she neglected to spend quality face time with her mom and sister Brandi, Entertainment Tonight reported.
So Tish did what any concerned parent would do and reprimanded her daughter. But not before snapping a photo of Miley sitting inside glued to her phone against the backdrop of a beautiful sunset outside.
Naturally, Miley also shared that image on her Instagram story and to Twitter.
"My mom called this 'disgusting' there was a gorgeous sunset and I was inside on my phone 'serving content,'" she wrote. "It's hard to get in trouble once you're an adult but she said I looked like a 'bratty millennial' which I do."
Miley has made sure that the vacation is well documented on Instagram and while she looks happy in the shots, the breakaway follows a troubling time for the "Slide Away" singer, who recently split with husband Liam Hemsworth and then girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter shortly after.
An unnamed source told Entertainment Tonight that Miley sought solace with Carter during her divorce with Hemsworth but things moved "far too quickly" between the two. Their short-lived relationship came to an end last week.
"Miley made the final decision to split with Kaitlynn," the source said. "Her relationship with Kaitlynn is over and she wants to be on her own. Miley wasn't thinking long term and when Kaitlynn realized Miley was done, it was a total shock."
Now the pop icon is leaning on her family for strength.
"She is getting support from her family and just wants to move on, just being around family members is what is keeping her grounded right now," the source added. "Those that know her well truly feel she has moved forward."
