Miley Cyrus reveals how she hid her substance abuse money from her accountant
"The drugs were the biggest cost, which to hide those from my accountant, we called them vintage clothes - Miley Cyrus"

Los Angeles, June 7

Pop icon Miley Cyrus is getting candid about her past drug use. She also shared how she escaped the radar of her accountant when it came to narcotics money.

The singer-songwriter, 32, took a deep dive into where she was mentally for each of her albums like ‘Bangerz and Endless Summer Vacation’, in an episode of The Ringer’s ‘Every Single Album’ podcast, reports ‘People’ magazine.

During their discussion of her 2015 album, ‘Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz’, she revealed where some of her money went without her accountant's knowledge.

“The drugs were the biggest cost, which to hide those from my accountant, we called them vintage clothes”, she said. “And so she would get these checks. That happens on touring all the time”.

As per ‘People’, Miley said over time her accountant would wonder about the "vintage clothes" costs but she always made sure to keep her purchases discreet.

“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”.

Continuing to reflect on ‘Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz’, the ‘We Can’t Stop’ singer admitted she’s grateful for how far she’s come since that period in her life.

“I'm so glad I survived that time in my life”, she said. "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”.

The singer has been open about her sobriety throughout the passing years. In a 2017 interview she said she was “evolving” after giving up substance abuse.

It's brave of Miley to share her struggles so openly. Many Indian youth look up to Western celebrities, so I hope they understand the dangers of substance abuse. Our Bollywood stars should also speak up about such issues more often. 🙏

$15,000 on drugs disguised as vintage clothes? That's more than what most Indians earn in a year! Shows how disconnected celebrity lifestyles can be from reality. Glad she's sober now though.

As someone who's battled addiction, I relate to her journey. But hiding expenses from accountants isn't something to glorify - it's tax evasion. Wish she addressed that aspect too. Recovery stories should be completely honest.

The pressure on young stars must be insane. In India, we've seen similar cases with some musicians. Maybe we need better support systems in the entertainment industry worldwide. Miley's story could help others seek help.

Her music evolved so much during these phases! Bangerz was iconic but I'm glad she's healthier now. Indian artists should take note - creativity doesn't have to come from substance abuse. ✨

While I appreciate her honesty, this kind of confession makes me worry about the message to young fans. In India where drug problems are rising, we need more responsible celebrity behavior, not glamorization of past mistakes.
