Creator Michael Poryes reveals Miley Cyrus fought Disney to change the ending of Hannah Montana after they wanted to reveal it was all a dream:
“A 16-year-old pushed back against Disney! I wanted Miley to go to college, to show that fame isn’t everything, but Disney wanted to make it all a dream where Miley Cyrus wakes up and realizes the entire show was a dream. We even filmed that version with her real parents. The person who had the ultimate choice was Miley. Miley said, ‘If Michael wants it that way, I support Michael,’ and Disney changed it. She was 16... Most stars wouldn’t do that at 16, but she did”
She can be wearing what she wants. She can be a virgin. She can be sleeping with 5 different people.
She can be with her husband. She can be with her girlfriend. She can be naked.
She CAN’T be grabbed without her consent. #DontFuckWithMyFreedom
Disney once shut down the entire Disneyland park in California just to celebrate Miley Cyrus’ 16th birthday, making her the only Disney star ever to receive such an honor.
Younger me has loved celebrating 20 years of Hannah Montana with you. This song is yours as a thank you for the life we’ve grown through together. I love you always.
