Miley Cyrus: Dad's presence protected me from abuse
18 Mar
Summary
- Miley Cyrus credits her father's constant presence for safety.
- She believes this shielded her from potential child-star industry abuse.
- Her parents' financial stability prevented exploitation.

Miley Cyrus reflected on her time as a child star on the Disney Channel series 'Hannah Montana,' stating that her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, being on set daily provided a crucial layer of protection against potential industry abuse.
She explained that her father's continuous presence ensured her safety, preventing any situation where she might be left alone in vulnerable circumstances. This dynamic allowed her to navigate her early career with a sense of security.
Cyrus further elaborated that her parents were financially secure before her stardom, meaning they did not rely on her income. This removed the pressure on her to be the sole breadwinner for the family, a common issue for child actors.
Her comments come as documentaries like 'Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV' bring renewed attention to allegations of mistreatment on sets involving underage performers.
