Miley Cyrus recently grabbed the headlines when she apparently throw shade at ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, in her January 2023 hit single “Flowers.” The song has stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 since its release and now, rumors are stirring that Liam is suing Miley for defamation of character over the song.
Legal rumors about Liam Hemsworth suing Miley Cyrus
The legal rumor circulated on the internet after a Miley Cyrus fan account claimed they had “leaked documents” on the alleged lawsuit, though it appears it could be a totally unfounded rumor.
“Liam Hemsworth is officially suing Miley Cyrus for defaming him after the success of the single ‘Flowers’. He was about to lose his contract with Netflix for the series The Witcher,” the February 28, 2023, tweet read.
The Twitter account named @CyrusOnStas replied with a follow-up tweet, which included the “legal documents” which have been proven to be fabricated.
Meanwhile, a Reddit thread seemingly debunked the false reports later that day and posted the template the fan account used to create the alleged legal document.
The Reddit thread also claimed that Miley’s fans made up the rumor to ensure she would keep her No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
“Flowers” is currently going head-to-head for the top spot against Ariana Grande and The Weeknd’s song “Die for You.”
Neither of the Last Song costars, who got married in 2018 and finalized their divorce in 2020, responded to the lawsuit rumors. Miley, however, has continued to promote her upcoming album Endless Summer Vacation, which is set to release on March 10, 2023.
“‘Flowers’ is #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for the 6th week in a row. To THANK YOU I’m dropping the ‘Flowers’ Demo on Friday,” Miley wrote via Instagram on March 1, 2023.
Although the Tennessee native has yet to publicly state the song is about Liam, the lyrics are full of easter eggs proving that it is. Not to mention, Miley released “Flowers” on January 13, 2023, which also happens to be her ex’s birthday.
