Miley Cyrus Dispels Rumors She’s Leaving “Hannah Montana”

There is a saying about biting the hand that feeds you… and Miley Cyrus will do no such thing it appears, as both she and Disney Channel have denied recent rumors that the 15-year-old is trying hard to leave the show.

Miley Cyrus has become one of the world’s most famous teens as a result of her starring role in Disney Channel’s “Hannah Montana” show, about an average high school girl, Miley Stewart, who goes about her sweet ways during the day but lives a secret double identity as pop sensation Hannah Montana.

Miley Ray Cyrus, who is actually born Destiny Hope Cyrus but legally changed her name last year, has thrilled children and tweens across North America as an actress and also as a singer, since she performs in character as Hannah Montana for albums and concerts.

Rumors brewed over the weekend that Miley has actually had enough of her blonde-haired alter ego and that she wished to leave the show earlier. Celebrity gossip site TMZ reported, based on trusty “spies” on the set of the series, that Miley and her dad, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and fellow cast member (he portrays Miley Stewart’s dad on the show), had been making efforts to be fired.

The two were reported to cause strain among crew and cast by arriving “ridiculously” late on set and by telling people they wanted to leave.

Monday however, both Miley Cyrus and Disney Channel made statements to disperse such rumors.

Patti McTeague, a Disney spokesperson for “Hannah Montana,” told Reuters that reports of such discontentment on the set were “absolutely not true, pure gossip.” TMZ had reported that Miley and “Hannah Montana” co-star Emily Osment were no longer on good terms and could hardly film their scenes together.

Miley Cyrus herself told People magazine that she is “fully committed” to the show, which she appreciates as the project that has given her “this amazing opportunity to reach out to so many people.”

She further said the cast is “amazing” and “supportive.”

McTeague added that the 15-year-old star and the rest of the show’s team have been in production for a third season and that a fourth one may follow.
