Miley Cyrus claims she was once blamed for dad Billy Ray’s Hannah Montana drug habit
'Everyone blamed me for it!'
Miley Cyrus has claimed her dad Billy Ray Cyrus used to ‘smoke pot’ on the set of Hannah Montana – and she got the blame.
The 32-year-old singer, who shot to fame playing a teenage school girl with a secret life as a pop star on the Disney Channel sitcom between 2006 and 2011, admitted the awkward moment was her most ‘hilarious’ memory from the series.
During an appearance on her mother Tish Cyrus and sister Brandi Cyrus’ Sorry We’re Cyrus podcast, Miley was asked to share her funniest memory from the show.
‘Dad smoking pot and everyone blaming me for it. It’s hilarious,’ she recalled. ‘He wasn’t sharing ’cause Tish wasn’t toking yet.’
Her mother laughed as she remembered the incident, and joked she tried to defend her then-husband – who she divorced in 2023 – while putting the blame on Miley’s co-star Mitchel Musso.
‘They were calling me, saying B-Ray was smoking pot, and I was saying: ‘”Absolutely not, he would never do that. It’s Mitchel Musso,”‘ she quipped.

However, Mitchel – who played Miley’s friend Oliver on the show – had different memories of the incident.
‘Well, that’s not how I remember it,’ the 33-year-old former child star said in a statement to E! News. ‘However, I’ve got plenty of stories from those years that might be worth having a conversation about.
‘If we’re revisiting Hannah Montana history – just say the word. All love to Miley and the fam … even when the rewrites get this creative.’
