Miley Cyrus Says She Got Blamed for Dad Billy Ray’s Weed Puff on Hannah Montana Set

Producers Point Fingers at Miley

June 19, 2025: During a candid interview on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, Miley Cyrus revealed a wild backstage anecdote. While filming Hannah Montana, producers suspected someone was smoking pot in her dressing room—and immediately assumed it was her. But the culprit? Her own father, country star Billy Ray Cyrus. Miley recalls:

“I remember one time the producers … started screaming at me ’cause they thought that I was smoking pot in the dressing room. And I was like, ‘I’m not fucking smoking pot in the dressing room. Go knock on my fucking dad’s door. It was my dad.’”

Keeping Family Business in the Family

Despite the uproar, Miley didn’t divulge her father’s role at the time, but later admitted both her parents were “big stoners.” She describes growing up in an open-minded household—surrounded by good music, supportive creativity, and yes, a bit of marijuana use.

Behind the Curtain: Childhood Fame Pressure

Fame descended early. Miley spent her teens navigating dual roles on Hannah Montana alongside her dad and mother, manager Tish. The pressures intensified as she embraced her adult identity in music. In hindsight, she reflects on the chaos: “No wonder I went crazy for a couple of years”.

From Disney Star to Self-Expression Icon

Miley has since reinvented herself, openly exploring cannabis, sobriety, and creative evolution. She’s forged her own path—balancing her Disney past with bold artistic identity and personal growth.
