Noah Cyrus Fabricated Dominic Purcell Romance To Play ‘Victim’

Noah Cyrus has apparently "never dated" her mother Tish's husband, Dominic Purcell. We recently reported that there were rumors circulating that Tish "stole" the Prison Break alum from her estranged daughter, but now another report says that was all a lie to twist the family feud in Noah's favor. The singer, 24, is now being accused by family insiders of "fabricating" a relationship with the Australian native in order to "paint herself as the victim" in her ongoing feud with her mom.

A source close to the Cyrus family has now told the Daily Mail Wednesday (February 28) that Noah and Dominic were never involved in any sort of romantic relationship, claiming that it would be "delusional" of the youngest Cyrus child to think otherwise. The insider adds that Noah is trying to create a narrative that will "paint her as a victim." Another source tells the publication that the "ludicrous" story about Tish, 56, allegedly stealing Dominic, 54, from her daughter has only further complicated the already difficult dynamic between the two of them. The source says Noah has always felt that her mother "favors Miley" most of the six kids.

In a podcast episode Tish hosts with her eldest daughter, Brandi, she was asked exactly which child is her favorite. Unable to give an answer, Tish said both Noah and Miley would try to get her to admit they were her favorite in the February episode. Meanwhile, Brandi would tell her mom, "'We know who your favorite is.' You," Tish finishes, pointing to Brandi. However, the insider who spoke with the publication claims Noah has always "craved" her mother's attention because she didn't receive it growing up. "Tish was always so Miley-sided because that is where the money was," the source added of the close, sister-like dynamic Miley has with her mother that Noah is apparently envious of.

The source also cleared up why Noah wasn't present for her mother's August wedding last year. Tish, 56, didn't invite her, and even if the Cyrus matriarch had, Noah wouldn't have come. "Tish wanted a peaceful wedding and did not want Noah to create any sort of scene," the source adds. As Tish has been expressing in her interviews and podcast, she and Dom are head over heels with each other. Meanwhile, Noah and Dominic "never even had a thing going on," a source adds.

As the final year in the oughts, 2009 gave us a fantastic year in pop music. We had Lady Gaga's reissue of The Fame, which she called The Fame Monster. The album gave us hits like "Alejandro," "Bad Romance," and "Telephone." Gaga gave something new to the pop scene with her out-of-this-world outfits and music video concepts. She was unapologetically herself, and she set the standard for artists to come looking to break molds. The Black Eyed Peas were also doing their own thing in this era, sticking true to being self-proclaimed "weirdos," making songs that they knew were dope enough to get radio play that they didn't have to change their sound to adapt. These artists were well ahead of their time, and the fans ate it all up.

A newcomer to the scene was Ke$ha, who used to sign her name with the dollar sign while working with Dr. Luke. Following her success of being featured on Flo Rida's 2008 hit, "Right Round," Ke$ha's debut single was "TiK ToK." At this time, wild child Ke$ha was 18 years old, saying the inspiration behind the song came from coming home half-drunk and stumbling after a night out of partying. The song later appeared on her debut album, Animal, featuring heavily autotuned songs that were a staple during this time period. For teenagers growing up at this time, Ke$ha was perfect for partying and emulating that lifestyle. On the other side, Miley Cyrus was closing out her Hanna Montana chapter. With the film release in 2009, the singer and actress provided one of the most beautiful, inspiring ballads that she has ever recorded thus far. "The Climb" was a pivotal moment in Cyrus' music career, as her voice was developing and reaching new ranges that it hadn't before.

Take a look below at the six pop songs that have a fifteenth anniversary in 2024:

Before TikTok, there was "TiK ToK" by Ke$ha. When she burst on the scene with her glitter and wild girl persona "looking sick and sexified," this heavily auto-tuned track was playing everywhere. The track was the lead single off her 2010 album Animal.

From Gaga's 2009 electropop record, The Fame Monster, "Bad Romance" is hands-down her biggest and best hit off the album.  From the harpsichord intro in the music video to the iconic dance moves, this hit is still thoroughly enjoyed today. Gaga's era during this time was so fresh in pop culture that she could sing, dance, and bring the most creative visions to life in her music videos.

As Cyrus was closing out her Hannah Montana chapter, she left all of her fans in tears when she wrote this banger for the movie's soundtrack. The beautiful country-pop power ballad describes life to be a difficult but rewarding journey. 16-year-old Miley was singing such touching lyrics as, "Every step I'm taking, every move I make feels lost with no direction. My faith is shaken."

After Shakira's hips didn't lie, the Colombian superstar became a "She Wolf." The electropop song details Shakira's boredom due to her uncaring partner and how she looks for others to please her. Following the release of two Twilight movies, Shakira's timing for the howling track couldn't be more perfect.

This song had us in a chokehold when it was released in 2009. Even when we hear it now, we have to drop everything and get fully immersed in the synthline. The song was inspired by lying awake with insomnia and seeing fireflies in rural Minnesota during the summertime. It was also inspired by the experience of seeing a meteor shower, with the shooting stars being fireflies instead. The music video features nostalgic toys from the 70s and 80s, adding to the retro-meets-future sci-fi vibe.

With another futuristic sound hailing from 2009 is this lead single off Black Eyed Peas' fifth studio album, The E•N•D. Staying true to themselves as being different from other artists during this time, the group took pride in making a "dope" song that would be a radio hit without having to change their sound to fit any sort of mold.
