    Her dad is a massive piece of shit, so while she gives me the ick, I’ve met her and she’s spent time around my friends and community, I will gladly honor her wishes and not refer to her father when using her name.

      I can’t believe I looked into it, but I did. You’re wrong about the reasoning and they no longer have an estranged relationship. They get along. She’s going by just Miley to emulate singers like Cher and Prince.

        You read a press release that had responses from him, and not her. She really really doesn’t like her dad, but for publicity reasons they remain publicly amicable as much as possible. Have you spent time with them? I have. She absolutely hasn’t forgiven her dad.

        Here’s the public statements, they mirror your assertions - note that this isn’t from her point of view. It’s also not her personal view outside a publicity aspect, either.

              There are plenty of people in LA but sometimes artists or beautiful people travel in similar circles and people bump into each other. “BooBees” could be a film editor, or a mixing engineer, someone in fashion, or someone just hot enough or connected enough to get invited to parties in the hills. It’s not that far fetched.

              There’s the Hollywood that Hollywood wants the public to see (to maximize money spent) and then the real Hollywood/LA and they can be really shockingly different. The machine will lie elaborately in convoluted ways to increase money slightly, and people in the industry are happy to go along, and generally so is everyone else in LA. Plenty of open secrets exist. It’s not even out of greed necessarily, but people in LA want to make more art which often requires more money to get made, so they will do anything to expand the pie.

                Bless you for taking my comment seriously. I was only carrying on the OP’s joke, but I could have done more to make that clear.
