Miley Cyrus' road to stardom has been closely intertwined with her mother, Tish Cyrus, who has played a huge role as her momager — a combination of a mother and manager. However, their relationship hasn't been without its complexities and challenges. Since Miley entered Hollywood, Tish has been there every step of the way, managing her daughter's career and guiding her through the unpredictable terrain.
However, being both a mother and a manager can undoubtedly blur boundaries and intensify emotions. In an appearance on the "Chicks in the Office" podcast, Tish shared some details on what it's like navigating their relationship as a mom and manager. She revealed, "There were times where we would be on tour and I'd have to ground Miley. She'd be like, 'You're fired'; And I'm like, 'You're not 18!' It was a whole thing."
Tisch continued, "There were those times where she was pushing the boundaries, and we were arguing and I was punishing her ... just being a full mama bear." However, she admitted, "I think she always knew that I did those things because I loved her." For her part, Miley has expressed her gratitude towards her mom. She told Entertainment Tonight in 2013, "My mom is my homie. If I win, she wins. Not because she's my manager — because she's my mom."
