Overview

  • During the Sorry We’re Cyrus podcast, Miley recounted how crew members blamed her for smoking marijuana when it was her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, taking smoke breaks on the Hannah Montana set.
  • Tish Cyrus initially defended her ex-husband by insisting the puffing must have been costar Mitchel Musso, though Musso later denied any recollection of using weed on set.
  • Miley explained that a recent Instagram unfollow between her and Tish was caused by a bug in Meta’s platform rather than a personal falling-out.
  • The singer has described the family’s past as a “dark decade” of feuding and credited therapy and open communication with helping everyone reconcile.
  • Miley noted her mother’s 2023 marriage to Dominic Purcell and her father’s recent public relationship with Elizabeth Hurley as signs of their individual growth and happiness.
