She’s been taking subtle jabs at Liam Hemsworth and flaunting her new romance with Cody Simpson every chance she gets. But according to a well-placed insider, Miley Cyrus’s moves are calculated and part of a ploy to get her ex-husband’s attention.

A clued-up source recently told Radar Online that the “Slide Away” singer is still obsessed with Liam and despite desperately trying to prove she’s moved on, is still struggling to cope with the breakdown of their marriage and his new romance.
“She was drunk dialling him for a while, so now she’s resorted to social media to get his attention,” the source claimed.
Another insider in Liam’s camp confirmed he’s refusing to buy into her weak attempts to make him jealous, revealing he’s over going back and forth with her and has no time for her petty games.
“This romance with Cody, supposed hospital visit and constant ‘look at me’ behaviour is all designed to push Liam’s buttons — and to be fair it’s always worked in the past because he’s a good guy who ultimately loves her. But now he’s just rolling his eyes and washing his hands of her, even as a friend, which of course is driving Miley nuts,” the source continued, adding Liam is happy with his new girlfriend, Aussie actress Maddison Brown.
While Liam may not care about the pop sensation and her string of new relationships, that hasn’t stopped her from shading him! Over the weekend, Miley and her 22-year-old Australian boyfriend joined an Instagram Live video where she took a subtle swipe at the Hunger Games actor, later copping heat for her savage comments.
Before speaking about her fling with Cody to her 100 million followers, the former Disney star inferred her relationship with Liam was so troubled, it made her lose faith in men.
Shocking fans with her candour, Miley took another thinly-veiled swipe at her ex of a decade when she implied Liam was so “evil” she had no choice but to date women instead.
“I always thought I had to be gay because I just thought, like, all guys were evil, but it’s not true. There are good people out there that just happen to have d*cks. I’ve only ever met one…and he’s on this Live,” she said. “There are good men out there, guys, don’t give up. You don’t have to be gay, there are good people with d**ks out there, you’ve just got to find them. You’ve got to find a d**k that’s not a d**k, you know.”
Understandably, her distasteful comments about her sexuality sparked outrage, with many fans slamming the star for implying she was only ever gay because she couldn’t find a man to date.
“Miley, this is so not it. Women don’t “have to be gay” because they “can’t find a good person with a d*ck”. Don’t use the queer community as a stop-gap because you couldn’t find a boyfriend. People aren’t queer because they “gave up” on men. This is so insulting,” one Twitter user wrote.
“Miley saying “you don’t have to be gay” is so cringe as if people choose to be gay just because they can’t find someone of the opposite sex that isn’t a dick. That’s not how this works Miss Cyrus,” another angry user added.
Less than a month after confirming they were more than friends with benefits, the unlikely duo has been putting their love for one another on display, oftentimes grossing fans with their intense PDA sessions. Basically, it’s getting serious, and by serious we mean even Cody’s mum has publicly weighed in on their whirlwind romance.
Last week, Angie shared a photo of her son and Miley to Instagram, admitting she’s over the moon Cody has found love!
“Puts a smile on my dial to see you both so blissfully happy. Hearing your laughs and seeing the smiles on your faces lights up my heart #happyforyouguys #beautifullsouls,” she captioned the post.
The former Disney star was quick to respond to the shoutout, commenting a series of black hearts under the adorable snap.
Not surprisingly, Cody’s younger sister Alli also adores the pop sensation— who recently returned to acting to star in an episode of Black Mirror— revealing last week that they’re very much in love.
“It’s very new, but they have history and they’re posting about each other a lot,” the 21-year-old singer-songwriter told The Daily Mail.
