Miley Cyrus reveals why she used to lie to her accountant

Former Disney star Miley Cyrus has revealed the true extent of her previous druge use by sharing a lie she told to her accountant.

Miley Cyrus has revealed the one thing she used to lie to her accountant about when she was in her early twenties.

The former Disney star, who shed her child star image by releasing a song called “I Can’t Be Tamed”, is opening up about that chaotic time in her life.

Cyrus has been reflecting on her early twenties thanks to the release of her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful.

The 32-year-old, who has been promoting her album, wearing see-through dresses, and doing the media rounds, appeared on The Ringer’s Every Single Album podcast, where she said in 2015, she was taking drugs.

“The drugs were the biggest cost, which to hide those from my accountant, we called them vintage clothes,” she said.

Cyrus admitted that her accountant had inquired about all these expensive vintage clothes she was buying.

“And every time she saw me, she’d be like, ‘Where’s that, like, $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?’ It’s like, ‘Oh, it’s upstairs,’” she said.

“’We just really want to protect it. It’s really delicate, the fabric, got to take care of it’. So I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year.”

The 32-year-old said in reflection she doesn’t have any regrets about that time in her life but she’s also aware she was lucky to come out unscathed.

“I’m so glad I survived that time in my life. I would definitely not encourage anyone else to go this hard, but the fact that I got through it, I’m very glad I got to do it.”

Cyrus has now been sober for years; she quit drinking in 2020 and stopped smoking marijuana around 2017.

In a revealing interview with Zane Lowe, she said she’s worked out that she needs to stay sober because she wants to wake up every day feeling her best.

“I’ve learned this about myself over the years. The sobriety is like, that’s like my God. I need it, I live for it. I mean that it’s changed my entire life,” she said.

Cyrus has stressed in the past that she doesn’t believe “everyone has to be sober” but she has found it is what works for her.

“I don’t have a problem with drinking. I have a problem with the decisions I make,” she said.

“I’ve just been wanting to wake up 100 per cent, 100 per cent of the time.”
