It wouldn’t be the first time a star said goodbye to the series that made him or her famous. And it would not come as a surprise if Miley Cyrus made no exception.

However, the teen icon and Disney Channel tried to bring down rumors on Monday regarding Miley’s planned departure from the television hit series “Hannah Montana.”

A Disney spokeswoman for the show, Patti McTeague, informed Reuters that reports claiming the star’s leaving were “absolutely not true, pure gossip.”

The 15-year-old pop singer and actress said that she had no intention of leaving “Hannah Montana,” Disney’s most popular series with 6-11 year-olds.

“I am fully committed to ‘Hannah Montana,’” Miley Cyrus reportedly told PEOPLE.

The buzz started off as a result of reports on celebrity Web site TMZ.com that said Miley wanted to get fired and, thus, came late on set, halted production and annoyed other cast and crew members. In addition to this, TMZ explained that Miley Cyrus planned to concentrate more on her singing career rather than on her acting performances.

Miley’s “Hannah Montana” character is both an ordinary schoolgirl and a pop singer, while ex country sensation Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley’s real life dad, is also her father in the series. And Miley seems grateful for that.

“It’s what gave me this amazing opportunity to reach out to so many people,” Miley Cyrus told PEOPLE. “I couldn’t do it alone. We have an amazing cast that is so supportive, including my dad who has been there for me every step of the way.”

In July, the 15-year-old star told E! News that this might actually be the final season of “Hannah Montana,” explaining that she has been part of the show since she was 11 and that it wasn’t easy at all, as they filmed “two seasons in one last year.”
