    Miley Cyrus claims her dad Billy Ray Cyrus "smoked pot" on the set of Hannah Montana - and she got the blame

    The singer shot to fame playing a teenage school girl with a secret life as a pop star on the show - which ran between 2006 and 2011 - and she's now recalled her most "hilarious" memory from the series was when her country star father smoked a joint backstage and the blame fell on her


    During an appearance on her mother Tish Cyrus and sister Brandi Cyrus' Sorry We're Cyrus podcast, was asked to share her funniest memory from the show and Miley explained: "Dad smoking pot and everyone blaming me for it. It's hilarious ... He wasn't sharing 'cause Tish wasn't toking yet."

    Tish remembered the incident and revealed she did not believe Billy Ray - who she divorced in 2023 - was responsible and thought Miley's co-star Mitchel Musso was behind it.

    She said: "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!'"

    Miley added: "Well, it was Mitchel. It was Mitchel Musso! It was both."

    However, Mitchel - who played Oliver on the show - had different memories of the incident. In a statement to E! News, he said: "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. 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."

    During her appearance on the podcast, Miley also spoke about a recent incident in which her mother seemingly unfollowed her on Instagram after the singer went to see Billy Ray and sparked rumours of another family feud - but the singer revealed it was actually just a "bug" in the platform.

    Miley said: "If you were in the family or not in the family, it was weird timing. 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 truth is boring. There's a bug in Meta, it naturally unfollows the person that you follow with the most engagement ... I was either, like: 'Mom lost her glasses and can't see,' which is what I thought happened. Then, there was actually a bug in Meta."
