Miley Cyrus set the record straight on claims her parents needed her money to “survive.”
The Disney alum recently appeared in an interview with Vogue and recalled her time in her famous role as Hannah Montana on the hit 2000s series.
While discussing how her early fame affected her family, she took a moment during the conversation to clarify claims that her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, and mother, Tish Cyrus, used her fame as a source of livelihood.
“My parents didn’t need me to be famous to survive or be stable,” Cyrus clapped back at the critics.
While setting the record straight, the ‘Flowers’ singer also revealed that the money she once earned went straight into her account.
Miley explained, “What happens with a lot of these kids is that their parents want it more than they do, or the kids end up being responsible for the entire family’s income. That was never my job. Every penny I ever made went into my bank account because my parents were good.”
She recalled how her father was always present on the Disney set, noting, “My dad was on set every day, so nothing could happen that he didn’t know about.
“There was never a time when I would be alone in that locker room.”
The “Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special” is scheduled for release on March 24.
