Ariana Grande reveals she first saw a therapist when she was just eight
Singer and “Wicked” star Ariana Grande shared that she first saw a therapist at the age of eight so she could "process" the divorce of her parents.
In a candid revelation, Tish Cyrus, famed manager and producer, has opened up about the emotional turmoil she experienced during her divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus, her partner of three decades. Speaking on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Tish, 56, shared the profound impact the separation had on her mental well-being, particularly as it coincided with the loss of her mother in 2020.
The decision to part ways with the 62-year-old country singer, who resided in Tennessee while Tish remained in California close to her daughter Miley Cyrus, was a deeply challenging one for Tish. Reflecting on this tumultuous period, she revealed, “I had one month of a complete psychological breakdown. It was the worst thing; it was not good. I just kind of pushed the mom thing under the rug, and then the divorce thing came.”

Her story highlights the importance of seeking support and prioritizing mental well-being during times of profound transition and upheaval.
