Miley Cyrus’ Mother Responds To Declare That ‘Hannah Montana’ ‘Destroyed’ Her Household

Tish Cyrus views her household’s involvement with the Disney Channel very otherwise than her ex-husband, Billy Ray Cyrus.

On Wednesday’s episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, host Alex Cooper requested Miley Cyrus’ mother and her older sister Brandi about a declare Billy Ray made to GQ in 2011 that the present “Hannah Montana,” which starred Miley and Billy Ray, “destroyed my family.”

“Did you guys feel that way?” Cooper requested Tish and Brandi.

“Absolutely not,” Tish mentioned.

When Billy Ray spoke to GQ, he had simply filed for divorce from Tish after practically 30 years of marriage, and his four-season run on the extremely in style Disney Channel present had just lately wrapped. In the meantime, Miley, whom the present had catapulted to fame, was making headlines for her seemingly wild conduct similar to smoking salvia and introducing her younger followers to the idea of twerking.

“[‘Hannah Montana’] destroyed my family. I’ll tell you right now — the damn show destroyed my family,” Billy Ray mentioned on the time.

For my family to be here and just be everybody okay, safe and sound and happy and normal, would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah. I’d erase it all in a second if I could.”

Tish appeared unbothered by these feedback on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, and shrugged them off as her ex “having a moment.” It ought to be famous that elsewhere within the podcast interview, Tish opened up about how tough the divorce had been on her as effectively.

Tish implied to Cooper that “Hannah Montana” really benefited their household.

“I mean, he had done ‘Achy Breaky’ and nothing else was working,” Tish mentioned of Billy Ray’s 1992 nation hit “Achy Breaky Heart.” “And then I brought Miley out to audition for ‘Hannah’ and she had gotten it, and then one of the casting directors said a joke, like, ‘Too bad we can’t afford her real dad!’ And I said, ‘Oh, maybe you can.’”

Tish then defined that when Miley scored the position on “Hannah Montana,” she was already “stressed” as a result of her household was touring lots in help of Billy Ray’s profession, and it was “really hard on the kids.”

“I said to Billy Ray, ‘You should come audition for the dad,’ because they love you and they’re really interested. Yes, it would be a pay cut, but our family could be together.”

Tish added that due to Miley and Billy Ray’s busy schedule on the present, she felt like a “single mom” to her 5 kids — a sentiment with which Brandi instantly agreed.

“I look back on it, and I honestly don’t know how I did it,” Tish mentioned. “It was not easy … But I just made it work, and I took the kids. I mean, it was a sacrifice for everyone [in the family].”
