Well, familiarity does breed contempt, and Miley, despite her "millions" of followers, has drawn the line y'all, tired of all the tabloid editors makin' hay with her tweets and their elusive sub-text, and the dang hackers who have in-FIL-trated her account.
Instead of just calling his daughter on the phone to discuss the situation, pappy Billy Ray tweets he is also a victim of the dang-nabbit Twitter hacker-types. He's thanking of going away too, y'all.
From Billy Ray's Twitter:
HeyWanna know a good one? Daddy got hacked too!Looks like I'll be goin bye bye also.I'm sad! I'll try to stay up 4 the weekend to say goodbye7 minutes ago from TwitterBerry

Not going quietly into that goodnight, Miley, in proper cringe-worthy style, busted out (a hip-hop video y'all!) with some backup bathroom singers about her sayonara to the social networking instant messaging, ego stroke known as Twitter.
"I'm done tryin' to please, I ain't livin' for tabloids, I am living for me," the 16 year-old Disney Channel actress and singer sang in a "Goodbye Twitter" rap posted on YouTube.
The actress claims she is fed up of the media turning her 140-character remarks into news.
"The rumors are true, I deleted my Twitter," she sang, saying she had started "tweeting about pimples", had stopped "living for moments" and instead had "started living for people."
"Everything that I type, Everything that I do, some gossip site makes it news," she added.
