Miley Cyrus dropped a major claim about her father’s behavior when she was a child actress on the set of Hannah Montana.
The relationship between Miley and her father Billy Ray Cyrus has been much discussed in recent months.
It all started when father-of-six, Billy Ray Cyrus, gave a strange performance at Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony on January 20.
His adopted son, Trace Cyrus, then released a penned an open letter to his dad that suggested the family were worried about the 'Achey Breaky' heart singer.

He then later claimed that in retaliation, Billy Ray threatened him with legal action over the Instagram post.
However, the 'Flowers' hitmaker weighed in on it all after fans claimed her mom, Tish Cyrus, unfollowed her on Instagram.
Many commented that Tish allegedly snubbed Miley after the Hannah Montana star rekindled her relationship with Billy Ray.
Setting the record straight, Miley posted in a story on Instagram: "I rarely comment on rumors but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us.
"She’s my best friend. Like a lot of moms, she doesn’t know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me - simple, coincidental and uninteresting.
"My dad and I have had our challenges over the years. Now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else.
"I’m at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing. Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family."
In light of this, Miley got candid on her mom’s podcast show about her dad and his on-set antics while she was a minor.
The 32-year-old appeared on Tish and sister Brandi's Sorry We’re Cyrus podcast on Thursday, June 19.
Her mom was asking rapid fire questions, and put forth a Q to her daughter, asking: “What’s a core memory from the Hannah Montana days that still makes you laugh?”
Without hesitation, the singer replied with a bombshell admission, stating: “Dad smoking pot and everyone blaming me for it.”
Tish laughed at her words, but her sister shot her a look as the actress stated: “I do remember that.”
The alleged time this happened was on set of the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana, which aired from 2006 to 2011.
Miley remembered it as a ‘hilarious’ time, while Tish had other thoughts on it.
She explained that she had been told of his pot smoking but didn’t believe it while they were married.
“I was saying, ‘Absolutely not, he would never do that,’” Tish said.
Instead, Miley’s co-star Mitchel Musso, who played Oliver Oken was blamed by Tish, before Miley claimed both he and her dad were smoking weed.
However, in a statement to E! News, Musso denied it.
He claimed: "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."
