Overview

  • Cyrus said she was originally cast as the lead voice of Mavis in the first Hotel Transylvania but was fired after the photo emerged.
  • The risqué image showed her licking a penis-shaped cake made for Liam Hemsworth’s birthday and went public when her stolen backpack and camera were recovered.
  • Sony Pictures executives worried the joke clashed with the franchise’s family-focused brand during her transition from a Disney Channel star.
  • Cyrus contended the prank was routine for her age and Nashville’s party scene and deemed the dismissal unfair.
  • She also recounted losing a Walmart endorsement at 16 over a video of her with a bong, illustrating the long shadow of teen controversies.
