Miley Cyrus’ mom Tish had ‘complete psychological breakdown’ during Billy Ray split: ‘Never wanted a divorce’

Miley Cyrus' mom Tish opened up about her divorce from Billy Ray, detailing the painful mental impact she experienced, and gushed about her new husband, "Prison Break" star Dominic Purcell.

During COVID, Billy Ray went back to Tennessee while she stayed in California, and "during that period, [I] just took a really hard look at life, my life. Like, what was I going to do? Because it had not been in a good place for a long time." 

She continued, "I think I did stay so long out of fear, literal fear of being alone. I met him when I was 23, 24. [As I] grew up, he was such a huge part of that. And then being alone and all of a sudden just having the weight of the world of my shoulders in some ways and was able to breathe and smoke pot and garden, and go skinny-dipping in my pool, that’s what I did during COVID."
