Miley Cyrus Makes Rare Comment on Ex Liam Hemsworth

Miley Cyrus says she can’t be blamed for everything that happened when she used to be young.

“The thing that I remember most about that performance,” she added, “was it was the first time I ever wore real diamond jewelry on stage.”

And as she turned towards the camera, she then quipped, “So you guys remember a little old ice cream truck, I remember the diamonds.”

And when it comes to Trace, a former member of band Metro Station, Tish said it’s always been the best of both worlds.

“He really just told me the other day, ‘I’ve always like, I’ve never been jealous of Miley,’” she noted on the Nov. 24 episode of Sibling Revelry with Kate Hudson … Read More
