Miley Cyrus is still reminiscing about her time on “Hannah Montana,” and she recently shared a humorous anecdote involving her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, during an episode of her mom Tish Cyrus and sister Brandi Cyrus’ podcast, “Sorry We’re Cyrus.” The conversation turned to memorable moments from the beloved Disney Channel show, and Miley didn’t hold back.
When asked by Tish to recall a funny incident from the “Hannah Montana” days, Miley quickly responded, “Dad smoking pot and everyone blaming me for it.” The Grammy-winning artist, now 32, found the memory particularly amusing, adding, “It’s hilarious. … He wasn’t sharing ’cause Tish wasn’t toking yet.”
This light-hearted revelation adds a new layer to the father-daughter dynamic that fans have come to know through their public personas. While Billy Ray and Miley portrayed a close-knit family on screen, their real-life relationship has had its ups and downs. Tish, who was married to Billy Ray from 1993 until their separation in 2022, recounted how she received calls about the alleged incident and initially couldn’t believe that her husband would partake in such behavior. “They were calling me, saying B-Ray was smoking pot, and I was saying, ‘Absolutely not, he would never do that,’” she recalled, humorously referencing Mitchel Musso, who played Hannah’s best friend Oliver on the show.
Miley chimed in, “Well, it was Mitchel,” adding a playful twist to the story. Musso himself later responded to the podcast’s revelations, stating, “Well, that’s not how I remember it. However, I’ve got plenty of stories from those years that might be worth having a conversation about.” He ended on a positive note, expressing love for Miley and her family, even when the memories differ.
Beyond the laughter, Miley also took the opportunity to address ongoing speculation about her relationship with her parents amid rumors of family feuds. She clarified that any recent drama, including Instagram unfollowing incidents with her mother, was simply a misunderstanding caused by a glitch in the app. “If you were in the family or not in the family, it was weird timing,” Miley explained. “I went to see B-Ray, and you did mysteriously unfollow me — and then you got some backlash and suddenly knew how to press that follow button.”
The Cyrus family has certainly had their share of public ups and downs, but Miley emphasized that she and her mother are now on the same page. “I rarely comment on rumors, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us,” she stated in a recent Instagram story, reassuring fans of their strong bond.
Billy Ray and Tish share three children: Miley, Braison, 30, and Noah, 25. Billy Ray also has a son, Christopher, from a previous relationship. The family dynamic has evolved over the years, especially following Billy Ray and Tish’s split, but Miley is optimistic about their path forward. During an appearance on Monica Lewinsky’s podcast, she described her family’s recent journey towards healing after a “dark decade” filled with estrangement.
As the Cyrus family continues to navigate their complex relationships, fans can appreciate the humor and love that still exists among them. Miley’s candid storytelling not only brings a smile but also offers a glimpse into the realities of life behind the scenes of a famous family. Whether it’s a funny memory from the “Hannah Montana” set or a heartfelt moment of reconciliation, the Cyrus family remains a captivating topic for fans everywhere.
