Miley Cyrus is clearing the air—literally—about what went down behind the scenes of Hannah Montana.

The 32-year-old pop star, who starred alongside her dad Billy Ray Cyrus on the hit Disney Channel series from 2006 to 2011, got hilariously candid on the latest episode of the Sorry We’re Stoned podcast with her mom Tish Cyrus and sister Brandi.

When a fan wrote in asking, ‘What’s a core memory from the Hannah Montana days that still makes you laugh?’, Miley didn’t miss a beat, replying, ‘Dad smoking pot and everyone blaming me for it.’

Brandi, 38, quickly confirmed, ‘I do remember that.’

Miley pointed to Tish and added, ‘And he wasn’t sharing, ’cause this one wasn’t toking yet.’

Tish, 58, who’s since been open about her marijuana use, chimed in with a laugh, recalling how she tried to defend Billy Ray at the time: ‘They were calling me saying ‘B-Ray’ was smoking pot and I was like, “Absolutely not, he would never do that!”‘

The trio then cracked up as they joked about Miley’s former Hannah Montana castmate Mitchel Musso taking the blame instead.

Back in January, Tish opened up about why she stopped smoking weed, despite previously embracing her status as a self-proclaimed stoner.

‘It was kind of by accident that I stopped smoking,’ she explained on the Jan. 2 episode of the podcast. 

‘I went on vacation and it was somewhere I could not have pot and like three days in, had the worst anxiety I’ve ever had in my life. And when I tried to smoke again… Nope.’

After quitting cold turkey, she realized that what once calmed her nerves had started to do the opposite. 

Smoking, which used to help with her anxiety, now ‘makes it even worse.’ 

Still, she admitted she’s considering revisiting it as she continues to struggle with her mental health.

‘The last seven months has been so bad for me, like major anxiety,’ she said at the time. ‘It really did just help me in so many ways. And lately I just have not been okay.’

Brandi, while not a user herself, voiced her support for her mom giving it another try.

‘She was great on weed,’ she said. ‘Best version of herself.’

The marijuana bombshell comes after Miley unpacked a decade’s worth of family drama and trauma and revealed how she mended all of her fences.

She grew up to be a global pop star in her own right, though she revealed on last Tuesday’s episode of Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky, her road to fame was filled with family strife.

She teased the whole family went through a, ‘really difficult, dark decade’ but they were able to get through it.

Miley revealed on the podcast that the family was able to mend their fences without therapy.

‘We’re so messy, we didn’t even do any of that,’ Miley joked of her family struggles, revealing the reason a therapist wasn’t involved.

‘Just to get each other into a room to get to counseling would have been a war,’ Miley admitted.

She told Lewinsky that at one point of the ‘dark decade,’ half of her family members were not speaking to each other.

Miley admitted she, ‘had a lot of loyalty’ to her mother Tish, who split with father Billy Ray back in 2022 after nearly 30 years of marriage and sharing Miley, Braison, 31 and Noah, 25.

Before their official split and divorce that was finalized in 2023, Miley said that her parents were on-and-off, as she revealed how that affected her.

‘(I) watched what happens when you don’t clean things up as they’re happening,’ Miley admitted.

‘They really do stack. And then all of the sudden you go, “Oh my God, it’s been 10 years and this is a mess I barely even know how to start. This is emotional hoarding,”‘ she admitted.

Ultimately, the singer, ‘cleaned all that up,’ during a, ‘really important part of [her] year … putting those lines of communication back together.’

‘I just kind of busted through the pile that stacked and just [went], “I’m here, you’re here, let’s start by having a good time together and then as we start bringing some happiness and joy into each other’s life, then we’ll be in a better place to have these conversations,”‘ she admitted.

She also admitted it, ‘was easier to (wave) a white flag’ than go through counseling with someone else.

The singer added she likes others to decide they, ‘like the way she’s functioning’ and attempt to ‘mimic’ it.

She will be addressing the family drama more directly on her forthcoming album, teasing that a song called Secrets.

Miley said the song is about her wanting her dad, ‘to feel safe enough to tell [her] the things that were damning and damaging to the family.’
