During her appearance on “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman,” Miley Cyrus shared some candid insights into her life, including a memorable experience involving her mother’s potent marijuana.
Miley has always been open about her relationships with her parents. While she shares a close bond with her mother, Tish Cyrus, her relationship with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, has seen its ups and downs over the years.
Reflecting on her journey to sobriety, Miley revealed that she had actively avoided marijuana, especially the type her mother uses, after experiencing a significant incident. She recounted a time when she took “the smallest puff ever” of her mother’s weed and found herself unable to drive for what felt like three days. The experience left her disoriented, unable to recognize herself.
Notably, Miley humorously mentioned that her mother’s weed had also affected others, including giving rapper Wiz Khalifa a panic attack due to its strength.
Interestingly, Miley admitted to initially introducing her mother to marijuana as a way to help her cope with anxiety during tours. Tish embraced it wholeheartedly, despite initially cautioning Miley not to tell anyone because of her self-identified status as a “good Christian woman.”
During the interview, Tish nodded along with Miley’s stories, acknowledging her daughter’s adventurous spirit and their unique mother-daughter dynamic. Tish recalled that one of her biggest fears was Miley moving out prematurely, given her early financial independence in Hollywood.
When asked if she would try her mother’s weed again, Miley jokingly admitted that she often pretended to indulge just to be cool for her mom, highlighting their playful and supportive relationship.
Switching gears, Miley also revealed a surprising aspect of her social life to David Letterman. Despite being part of the celebrity world, she admitted to not feeling entirely at home in those circles. She emphasized that she values quality over quantity when it comes to friendships, citing Beyoncé as an example of someone she deeply respects and cherishes in the industry.
Reflecting on her teenage years and performing alongside Beyoncé and Rihanna, Miley described them as towering figures who left a lasting impression on her. She highlighted Beyoncé’s kindness and consistency, which have contributed to their enduring bond over the years.
In a more somber moment, Miley subtly addressed her strained relationship with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, following his recent divorce filing after a short-lived marriage.
Overall, Miley Cyrus’s interview with David Letterman offered a candid glimpse into her personal life, touching on everything from family dynamics and substance use to the complexities of celebrity friendships and personal growth.
