While talking to the podcast host, Cyrus revealed, “We called them vintage clothes,” referring to her d*ug costs. She further added, “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.'”

The Wrecking Ball crooner further stated, “I’m so glad I survived that time in my life.” She continued, “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.”

Previously, the young Miley had openly admitted to taking substances. She at the time claimed that Hollywood is a coke town, “but weed is so much better. And molly, too.” She added, “Those are happy d*ugs—social d*ugs. They make you want to be with friends. You’re out in the open. You’re not in a bathroom.”

Cyrus revealed in 2017 that she had quit taking d*ugs after getting together with her then-husband, Liam Hemsworth. In an interview, the actress-singer shared that she not smoked for the longest time, and had been completely sober. 

However, the musician slipped back into taking d*ugs during the Covid pandemic. She later revealed that she came back on track within two weeks.
