See The Cyrus Family’s Stunned Reactions When Nicki Dissed Miley

Miley Cyrus’ VMA hosting debut was full of surprises — it had literally everything, from body glitter and nip slips to Wayne Coyne, and even an unexpected album drop. In between outfit changes, Miley even had time to engage in a quick (real or not real?) exchange of words with Nicki Minaj that people are still buzzing about.

Well, we now know the real story behind Miley’s reaction, but what did the Cyrus clan think of Nicki’s onstage dis at their girl? As you’ll recall, the entire Cyrus #Squad was in the house, from mom Tish and dad Billy Ray to little sis Noah. As the whole Miley/Nicki exchange went down, the Cyrus family looked on, their shocked expressions seeming to range from “whoa” to “atta girl!” Check out their priceless reactions in the video below.

The reaction shot everyone's sharing doesn't tell the full story. Here's what really happened.

Other than Kanye’s “bro”-heavy presidential bid, the VMA moment everyone’s talking about today is the totally shocking — and completely impromptu — throwdown between Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus.

Today, a video showing Miley’s so-called reaction has been circulating around the internet, with various media outlets claiming its authenticity. In the clip, Nicki can be heard saying, “And now, back to this bitch who had a lot to say about me the other day in the press: Miley, what’s good?” And Miley has an “oh sh-t” reaction, looking like a deer in headlights as she mouths “what?”

But guess what? That footage doesn’t tell the full story.

We strategically had cameras set up all around the Microsoft Theater to get all-encompassing views of last night’s action — think of it as our version of “The Real World: VMAs.” Because you just never know when you’re on camera (hint hint, Kanye). Check it out:

See, one of our cams caught Miley’s REAL reaction to the dig. And here’s what really happened: when Miley mouthed “what?” it was actually during an earlier part of Nicki’s acceptance speech, when she was thanking her “epic” fans.

Here’s the kicker: Miley was already facing Nicki before the dig heard ’round the world. She turned to Nicki and smiled just as she started to say “And now…”, seemingly thinking that Nicki was about to throw it back over to her to introduce the next segment.

As you can tell, Miley’s reaction wasn’t as shocked as everyone thinks it was. In fact, she composed herself right away and wasted no time planning a semi-sassy retort. After the taunt, she replied, “We’re all in this industry. We all do interviews and we all know how they manipulate sh-t. Nicki, congratu-f–kin-lations.” The camera then cut back to Nicki, who seemed to mouth back, “Bitch.”

So now you know. That whole speechless reaction? Not the real thing.
