A decades-old secret, shrouded in trauma and legal battles, has surfaced with a startling claim: a woman alleges she is the biological mother of Miley Cyrus. Jaymee Lee, 45, is stepping forward with a harrowing story of alleged childhood sex trafficking and a subsequent pregnancy that led to the birth of the pop star.
Lee’s claims center around a period of immense vulnerability. She alleges she was trafficked by a cartel-affiliated gang while growing up in Ruidoso, New Mexico, and became pregnant at the age of 12. Desperate and alone, she sought a way to ensure her unborn child’s safety, even reaching out to numerous celebrities for adoption.
Among those she contacted were Julia Roberts, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, and even Hillary Clinton, all with connections to the region where she found herself trapped. These pleas, however, went unanswered, leading her to a connection through country music legend Dolly Parton, who allegedly introduced her to Billy Ray Cyrus.
Lee asserts that an agreement was made with Billy Ray for an open adoption, allowing her to remain involved in the child’s life as a nanny and piano teacher. This arrangement, she claims, was broken, and she was subsequently cut off from any contact with the baby. The child, initially named Destiny Hope, would later become the world-renowned Miley Cyrus.
The name “Miley,” Lee reveals, wasn’t a random choice. She deliberately selected it, inspired by the countless miles she traveled while being trafficked, wanting a unique identifier linked directly to her. This detail clashes with the widely known story of Miley’s nickname originating from “Smiley.”
Legal battles have already unfolded, with Lee filing multiple lawsuits against Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, alleging breach of contract, fraud, and intentional emotional distress. These suits have largely been dismissed, and Lee was recently ordered to pay legal fees. Yet, she remains undeterred.
Now, Lee is preparing to file a new case in Malibu, California, seeking a DNA test to definitively establish her biological connection to Miley. She insists her motivation isn’t to disrupt the singer’s life or family, but to reveal the truth and acknowledge the origins of her existence.
Lee’s story is deeply personal, and she acknowledges its incredible nature. She explains that the trauma of her past was initially blocked from her memory, only resurfacing after a return to Ruidoso triggered a flood of painful recollections. She attempted to reach out to Miley through legal channels, but received no response.
“I understand that I’m biologically her mom,” Lee stated. “Does it mean that now I’m her mom? I’m not. I’m not claiming any of those moments, and I’m not trying to take away anything of what her and Tish have.”
Beyond her personal quest for acknowledgment, Lee hopes her story will serve as a powerful message of resilience and healing. She wants to shed light on the often-hidden reality of trauma and the possibility of recovering lost memories, offering hope to others who may have experienced similar abuse.
Billy Ray Cyrus has vehemently denied Lee’s claims, dismissing them as “absurd” and pursuing legal action to silence her. Despite the legal setbacks and public scrutiny, Jaymee Lee is determined to uncover the truth, driven by a desire for closure and a hope that her story can make a difference.
