Following news the pair had reportedly parted amicably, sources close to Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth told TMZ that the former couple is now at war, with claims of drug use and infidelity at the heart of their nasty split.

According to the outlet, sources on the pop star’s side say Miley desperately tried to save their seven-month-long marriage, however, Liam’s alleged “drinking” and “drug use” spelled the end of their decade long relationship. The questionable source also added that Miley wasn’t accepting of Liam’s alleged party antics, especially since she’s “struggled with substance abuse in the past”.
Since these shocking accusations emerged— which we should take with a grain of salt— a source close to The Hunger Games actor has hit back, claiming Miley’s friends are intentionally using this as a coverup so the attention is taken away from supposed “infidelity” on the “Wrecking Ball” singer’s behalf.
“This is another attempt by Miley to distract from her infidelity and recent outrageous public behavior,” the insider said.
It’s also been reported that they’re locked in a bitter custody feud over who will care for their seven dogs, two mini horses, two regular-sized horses, two pigs and three cats full time.
While the separated stars initially told their pals they hoped to “co-parent” their furry friends, the insider revealed to Radar Online that “everyone knows that’s not possible”.
“Miley thinks these animals are all hers, but Liam also adopted two of the dogs on his own,” the source dished, referring to Liam’s pitbull Tani and mix Dora. “Miley wants to raise them together. She doesn’t think it would be okay to separate them.”
While the anonymous source said Isn’t It Romantic star— who saved their 16 pets from the California wildfires that destroyed their Malibu home earlier this year— is still coming to terms with their split, Miley is far more focused on their animals.
“She seems to be more concerned about the pets than Liam right now,” they said.

Despite making out with Kaitlynn Carter hours after announcing she’d split from husband Liam Hemsworth, a source close to the A-listers claim Miley spent months trying to save her marriage to the Australian actor, however they decided to secretly part ways in June.
The insider revealed the songstress, 26, begged Liam to go to couple’s therapy, however “he didn’t come close to meeting her halfway”. So, basically, they’re implying Liam gave up on their marriage a long time ago.
It has since been said that Miley “was the one to end” their seven-month-long marriage after revealing “she wanted an open relationship” and “wasn’t ready for just one person for forever.”
The jaw-dropping claims come after an insider close to Miley and The Hills: New Beginnings reality star revealed the duo— who were photographed making out while relaxing on a yacht in Italy—have been “hooking up for a couple of months”.
And, in an unexpected turn of events, Kaitlynn’s ex-husband Brody Jenner is, apparently, “totally okay with it”.
“It was no secret,” the insider revealed, admitting Kaitlynn and Brody— who announced their split last week— had discussed her relationship with Miley in the past. “Brody is still friends with them. There’s no drama. [Kaitlynn] had some other priorities [in her marriage], and you now know what they are.”
On August 14, Liam broke his silence about his split from Miley, wishing her nothing but the best for the future. In his first social media post since news broke that the couple decided to part ways, the Hollywood star revealed he has no plans to speak about the matter any further, asking fans to respect his privacy during this difficult time. He also hit back at outlandish claims that “quotes attributed to me are false”, admitting he hasn’t spoken to any news outlets about their separation.
“Hi all, Just a quick note to say that Miley and I have recently separated and I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward,” the actor captioned an Instagram photo of the beach during sunrise.
“This is a private matter and I have not made, nor will I be making, any comments to any journalists or media outlets. Any reported quotes attributed to me are false. Peace and Love.”
