AceShowbiz - TMZ reported in a post on its site that Miley Cyrus and her singer father Billy Ray Cyrus are messing with the production of "Hannah Montana" with the intention to get fired from the hit show. The father-daughter duo reportedly have been showing up late, keep stalling production and are eating all the donuts which then angered the other cast and crew.
Miley's longtime and close friend Emily Osment, who plays Lilly Truscott on the series, has been trying to avoid Miley as she reportedly is fed up with her and her father's attitude. "Emily is so bitter she literally turns away from Miley after each scene," TMZ wrote, adding that "Emily's dad got in a screaming match with Billy Ray, complaining he and Miley were unprofessional."
Moreover, TMZ also claimed to have been informed by sources that Billy Ray already told everyone on the set that he and his famous daughter are only doing 12 more episodes of "Hannah Montana". They are quitting the series after that and planning to pursue their music career that could earn them much more money than that they got from doing a Disney cable show.
Disney reportedly are furious with Miley and Billy Ray's conduct, calling them ingrates. The entertainment corporation even contacted their agents, telling them not only would the stars finish the twenty-four episode season, but they are also billed to complete the six more additional episodes.
Neither Miley nor Billy Ray has issued statement regarding the report. The young sensation was seen getting some coffee at the Coffee Bean And Tea Leaf in Toluca Lake on Saturday morning, September 20, but remained mum on that matter.
