Miley Cyrus hid cost of drugs from accountant by disguising them as vintage clothing purchases
Miley Cyrus concealed the cost of drugs from her accountant during the making of her 2015 album by disguising them as high-end vintage clothing purchases. The 32-year-old singer and songwriter, whose battles with drink and drugs have been well-documented, made the admission during an appearance on the Every Single Album podcast. Speaking about the period surrounding her experimental album Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz, Miley said: 'We called (drug purchases) vintage clothes. And every time (my accountant) 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.' So I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year.' The Grammy-winning artist went on to explain to avoid suspicion, she would tell her accountant the garments were 'really delicate' and needed to be stored away to 'protect' them. She added: '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.' Miley, who rose to prominence as a Disney Channel star before launching a highly successful music career, has long been candid about her relationship with drugs. In a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone, she said: 'Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is so much better. And molly, too. Those are happy drugs – social drugs. They make you want to be with friends. You're out in the open. You're not in a bathroom.' In 2017, she revealed she had gotten sober after rekindling her relationship with then-partner Liam Hemsworth. She told Billboard magazine: 'I haven't smoked weed in three weeks, which is the longest I've ever (gone without it,) I'm not doing drugs, I'm not drinking, I'm completely clean right now!' But in November 2020, Miley acknowledged that she had relapsed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking publicly at the time, she confirmed the setback but said she had resumed sobriety within two weeks. Miley has also recently been in the headlines over a rumoured rift with her country-rock singer father Billy Ray Cyrus, but other reports have said the two have quietly reconciled.

Miley Cyrus boasts of having a more impressive squad than Taylor Swift
Miley Cyrus has insisted she has a more impressive 'squad' than pop contemporary Taylor Swift. The 32-year-old claims she called up her most famous friends to convince them to star in a music video with her in 2013 - only for her record label to cancel the plan. Cyrus insists the video would prove she has more impressive contacts than fellow singer Swift, 35, who pulled together a lineup of A-List friends for her Bad Blood music video in 2015. The Flowers singer told the Every Single Album podcast, "I had everyone already lined up. Nelly ... Madonna was down to do the video, Miranda Cosgrove." She went on, "This was before Taylor had a lot of famous people in her crew. I was friends with famous people first. I wanted to do that. I had a f-king squad, and my squad was very, very cool." The music video in question would have been for a track called 4x4 from her 2013 album Bangerz - which was never actually released as a single. Cyrus claims, "Madonna was down to mud wrestle with Miranda Kerr. I was like, 'I'm gonna get all these girls, all these supermodels, all these Victoria's Secret models and all of these pop icons to come to my dad's farm, get in the back of 4x4s, and we're gonna mud wrestle, and we're gonna go out and do doughnuts." Swift called on friends including Selena Gomez, Zendaya, Karlie Kloss, Cindy Crawford and more for her own chart-topping single - famously penned following her alleged fall-out with Katy Perry.

Miley Cyrus hid money she spent on drugs from accountant by calling them 'vintage clothes': 'The biggest cost'
Miley Cyrus is reflecting on her old strategy for hiding the money she spent on drugs from her accountant. While reminiscing about making her 2015 album, Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, the "Flowers" singer said using drugs was a "super-important part" of her creative process. "The drugs were the biggest cost," Cyrus revealed in a new interview on The Ringer's Every Single Album podcast. "To hide those from my accountant, we called them 'vintage clothes.' And so she would get these checks of thousands of dollars' worth of vintage clothes." Cyrus said her accountant would then ask to see the merchandise the singer had purchased. "Every time she saw me, she'd be like, 'Where's that $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?'" she recalled. "It's like, 'Oh, it's upstairs. Would you like some?' So I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year." The pop star added that her approach to songwriting is different when she's not taking drugs. "I feel like the things that I was able to find — I can write songs as well [while sober], but I can't find things like 'Tangerine.'" After saying sobriety is "like my god" in a recent interview with Zane Lowe, Cyrus walked back her statement on Every Single Album. "I think that was a little dramatic," she said of the remark. "That was a little dramatic, because someone used that as a quote, and I was like, 'Okay, I wouldn't say it's my god. I'm not gonna go into — I don't do meetings or anything." Cyrus also said that after Dead Petz struggled to find commercial success and her 2017 follow-up album, Younger Now, didn't match the popularity of 2013's Bangerz, she felt pressure to perform more songs about drugs and alcohol on her 2019 EP, She Is Coming. "They ended up belittling me and putting me into songs like 'Unholy,' which is a song I don't like about being drunk and about being high," she said. "I was sober at that time, which made me feel f---ing like a big fraud." The singer went on to say that an associate even dissuaded her from publicizing her sobriety. "I remember at the time someone that shall not be named was like, 'It's okay if you're sober, but just don't tell anybody, because the kids won't think you're cool anymore,'" she said. "'Because when you had hits during Bangerz, your whole thing was being f---ed-up.' And I was like, 'But everyone was mad at me! And you particularly were mad at me!'"Cyrus' new album, Something Beautiful, is out now. Listen to her full Every Single Album interview above. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
