Billy Ray Cyrus attributes his marijuana use to his daughter Miley during filming of ‘Hannah Montana.’
Miley Cyrus recently reflected on her experiences growing up as a child star during a podcast appearance, shedding light on the dynamics of her family and her early career. In a candid discussion on “Sorry We’re Cyrus,” hosted by her mother, Tish, and sister, Brandi, Cyrus recounted a particular incident from the set of the Disney Channel series “Hannah Montana,” where her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, was reportedly involved in some controversy regarding his marijuana use.
Cyrus revealed that she often faced criticism in connection with her father’s habits while working on the show. She described the irony of being blamed for her father’s actions, recounting, “Dad smoking pot and everyone blaming me for it.” Tish Cyrus corroborated this sentiment, recalling how cast members were quick to blame Miley for the situation until it was confirmed that it was, in fact, Billy Ray who was smoking on set. In a humorous exchange, Tish initially tried to shift the blame to Miley’s co-star, Mitchel Musso, only for Miley to quip that both her father and Musso were involved in the light-hearted mischief.
In addition to this anecdote, the podcast episode addressed recent developments in the Cyrus family, including a brief moment of speculation regarding the relationship between Miley and Tish. In May, Tish reportedly unfollowed Miley on Instagram, which sparked rumors about a potential rift. Miley took the opportunity to quell these speculations, emphasizing that her mother is her “best friend” and asserting that their bond is unshakeable.
Miley characterized the unfollowing incident as a mere “simple, coincidental and uninteresting” mistake, even as it coincided with an enthusiastic message from Billy Ray about seeing his daughter. This was not the first time tensions have surfaced within the family; a heated exchange from July 2024 came to light when Billy Ray reportedly referred to Miley and Tish in a derogatory manner in text messages and audio recordings that were later published by various media outlets.
Over the past year, the family has navigated its share of conflicts, including a reported feud involving Tish and her youngest daughter, Noah Cyrus, surrounding Noah’s relationship with her new stepfather, Dominic Purcell. However, that dispute appears to have been resolved, allowing the family to move forward with a renewed focus on their support for one another.
Through discussions both serious and lighthearted, the latest episode of “Sorry We’re Cyrus” showcases the complexities of family dynamics in the public eye, all while reiterating the importance of solidarity amid challenges.
