According to People, Miley Cyrus opened up about her relationship with her father during an appearance on 'My Next Guest Needs No Introduction' with David Letterman, amid a family rift following her omission of him in her acceptance speech at the Grammys in February.
Miley explained, "I'm grateful for being able to watch him ahead of me. He's almost given me this map—showing me what to do and what not to do—and he's guided me on both. I also inherited the narcissism from him."
She went on to say, "I think a lot of his perspective on reality and life, I've inherited from him, more so than the way I was raised—though my mom raised me... Honestly, my mom is my hero."
When Letterman asked about rumors of a rift, the 77-year-old host remarked, "There's not estrangement here with your father. It's just the way things are played."
Miley responded, "Yeah, I think what’s so beautiful is that my parents, they served their children. I know this—they sacrificed so much for us. Anything we dreamed of, they made possible."
