What is going on between Miley Cyrus' brother and Brenda Song after shock claims
Miley Cyrus' brother Trace Cyrus has accused his ex-fiancé Brenda Song of 'faking multiple pregnancies' and 'pretending to be terminally ill.' The Metro Station musician, 36, took to Instagram to share the shocking claims in retaliation to a user insulting him. The former couple split in 2017 – with the Suite Life of Zack and Cody star, 37, currently engaged to Hollywood star Macaulay Culkin, with whom she shares children Dakota, four, and Carson, two. The former couple were thought to be on good terms, with Cyrus previously congratulating the Running Point actress on her engagement, saying he was 'extremely happy for her.' He wrote on Instagram at the time: 'She inspired me to write countless songs and was such an important part of my life. I will always cherish songs I have … to remind me of our crazy 7 years together.' So, what happened between the two? Cyrus and Song confirmed their relationship in 2010 and got engaged just a year later. Announcing the news, Shake It hitmaker tweeted: 'I am very excited to say, last week I asked my girlfriend Brenda Song to marry me and she said YES! We are both very excited to be engaged!' Just a year later, however, Cyrus revealed they had ended things to 'focus on their careers.' He said in a statement: 'Brenda and I have decided to go our separate ways. We split up a couple of months ago. 'We will continue to focus on our careers. I wish Brenda the best and much success in the future. I hope everyone can respect our privacy about this situation. Thanks so much.' The couple were linked on and off until 2017, when they eventually split for good and Cyrus began dating Taylor Lauren Sanders a year later. In 2018, the musician released a song named Brenda, where he opened up about their romance ending for the final time. 'I wrote this song last year in Nashville after Brenda and I broke up. Her and I have both moved on and I'm extremely happy for her,' he wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post. After saying she inspired him to 'write countless songs', he continued: 'When I wrote this song it was my final goodbye as we ended our relationship. 'I told myself after I wrote this song it would be my last song about Brenda and I've kept my word. Music like this is my therapy. Enjoy.' After the relationship ended, Song moved on with Culkin in 2017, with the pair getting engaged in 2022. In a bombshell post on Twitter, Cyrus alleged that Song 'faked multiple pregnancies' and 'lied about being terminally ill.' The musician lashed out following a comment on Instagram, which read: 'Ahhhh now we know why Brenda left. Good riddance.' According to he alleged: 'Yes because she stole thousands of dollars from me and faked multiple pregnancies, & lied about being terminally ill to make my family and I think that she had breast cancer in the brain tumor.' Cyrus said that it 'was all a lie' and that Song was allegedly 'humiliated to ever show her face around his family again once they figured it out', claiming that his mom Tish Cyrus 'confronted her and called her out on all of it.' In a separate comment, he claimed: 'Oh, she also faked an abortion with fake blood covering the bathroom floor in my mom and I register her to the OB/GYN – that's when all the lies started unraveling and we realized it was fake.' The musician then took to his Instagram Stories to share more shocking allegations. 'The funniest part though is when she showed up after getting the 'brain tumour' removed from the best surgeon in Chicago,' he continued. 'She didn't realize we were catching on to her lies. So when she showed up to my house with a bandage on her head claiming she just got out of surgery.' More Trending Cyrus claims that he 'ripped the bandage off' to prove 'no surgery had been done.' 'There's more proof of how f****d in the head child stars are,' he concluded. 'I hope she's doing better mentally.' Song has not yet responded to the claims.

Young man from Melbourne remembered as 'beautiful soul' as two Aussie tourists drown in Thailand in space of a week
Two Australian tourists have drowned in Thailand in the space of a week with one young man being remembered by his sister as a 'beautiful soul'. Last Tuesday, Corey Walsh, 22, a roof plumber from Melbourne, was swimming near the island of Koh Racha Yai, south of Phuket, when he was pulled under the water. His sister, Charleigh, spoke to and described her aspiring Muay Thai boxer brother as 'selfless and loyal'. In an interview, Corey's sister said he had been training in Thailand and was with six of his closest friends, one of which he travelled to the Asian nation to begin his strict regiment which began two weeks before his death. Corey had prepared since the start of the year for his four-week stint at the Rattachai Muay Thai camp. It is understood he had been sober for five months in the leadup to the intense training. According to The Daily Telegraph, the 22-year-old died swimming while intoxicated. Just three days before he drowned, the other five of his friends joined him to celebrate his progress on a chartered fishing trip. The precise circumstances surrounding Corey's death are still unclear. 'They were fishing on the boat and celebrating their trip when they stopped to have lunch and go for a snorkel,' Charleigh said. 'We're still waiting for his friends to get home to learn more about it. 'He will always be my best friend, his passing has left a void that cannot be filled.' Tributes poured in on social media with friends describing Corey as 'selfless' and a 'genuine and outgoing person' who could 'make everyone smile'. Thai authorities have warned tourists about dangerous sea conditions and 'strong waves' after a second Australian man was found floating in the water. A 41-year-old man from South Australia, Anthony John Heathcote, was reported missing by his wife on May 7, according to local news, and his body was found at Freedom Beach near Patong on Saturday. He was pulled from the water by emergency responders. Police Lieutenant Colonel Wiwat Chamnankit said it was likely he drowned while swimming. 'We believe that the sea currents were too strong for him to swim back to land,' he said. 'Tourists should not go in the sea during these conditions when there are strong waves, unless they are with an experienced guide.'
