What are everyone's thoughts on how she feels about the show? It kinda makes me sad that now she sort of despises having anything to do with the show--but the other actors on it still think highly of it and were proud of it. I remember Miley said in interviews she was being something she wasn't and it was kind of like torture??! Like jeeze aha. What do other peeps think about it all? :{
shareWell, it's not unusual for several child stars (or actors for that matter) to tarnish what brought them to fame in the first place. Especially when it's something that labels them and has made them associable. And considering that Hannah Montana was something that could've be hard to break from, it's not strange why she dismisses it. However, there's been rumors that she's up for a reunion.
shareI remembered in an interview a couple of years back when asked why she went from "being Disney wholesome and sweet" to being "Controversially edgy," she replied that Disney was forcing her to be wholesome and sweet to market to little girls and is glad that she is an adult now and free to act the way she wants to act.
shareWell, of course Disney forced to be wholesome and sweet. That what Disney (or other companies for that matter) does with their child/teen stars; to make them marketable towards their target audience. And that's why they rebel; Because they were never allowed to rebel by being a teen star.
That's really the unfortunate fate for several former child/teen stars and Miley is no exception. Mostly because she's stuck with a stigma that has labeled her forewer. It's not strange why they tarnish their so-called squeaky cleen past, despite it being what brought them to fame. But perhaps Miley could gain an appreciation for Hannah Montana when she grows older? There's been rumors about an reunion.
Either way, Miley's current antics have been remarkable and vulgar, so the attention she has received is deserved.
I agree it's something that a lot of child stars do: Most of the Brady kids are bitter as hell about their show and so was Gary Coleman when he was alive and Jaleel White still blames Family Matters for not being able to get any roles.

It made her who she was, an actress. If I could have been born a female, I would have loved to be in her position and would thank Disney for breaking me into the television/film industry.
Is this sarcasm....all the child actors are damaged goods.
Hollyweird is no joke.
Most of these kids sign contracts and are obligated to dress and wear their hair to whatever management wants.
That's why most girls shave their heads. Once they get out of that contract they dont even know what to do.
Miley Cyrus was such a talented singer/songwriter (still is) that she outgrew Hannah Montana halfway through season 2. I think that's why we seldom saw Cyrus doing on-screen promotion for the show or other Disney causes as the series progressed. I also believe Cyrus made a conscious, deliberate choice to cultivate her raunchy girl image before Hannah Montana wrapped production.
I see the same thing happening with Rowan Blanchard of Girl Meets World. Not raunchy, but political. Blanchard continues to catch hell from GMW fans over her "feminist" tweets and other comments away from the show. The tone of the fans' griping tends to come off as "Rowan, that liberal 13-year-old know-nothing snob!" (Well, a stronger word than "snob" and she's 14½ now, but I think all of you'uns reading this got the point.)
Rowan is a talented actress, but as with Miley, I don't see her fitting into the mold of the subservient perfect Disney princess. And I say good for her, and good for Miley for being their authentic selves.
Yeah, I know filankey is not a word, but it's gonna catch on.
Miley said in interviews she was being something she wasn't and it was kind of like torture??!
I don't blame her for having negative feelings towards the show. I'm sure she is grateful for the opportunities it gave her, but behind the scenes I'm guessing life wasn't all too great. She missed her entire childhood and teen years to act on some Disney show - the same network that blasted V.Hudgens for the leaked nudes instead of defending her and her privacy. Tons of child actors will tell you how awful Hollywood is to them. Miley probably loved the idea of Hannah Montana at first, but she had to keep up a "Disney" image for years. If you were in her shoes I doubt you would feel all pleasant.
shareThe actress/singer has some not-so-nice reflections on her time with Disney in a new 'Elle' profile.share
Well, regardless of her not wanting to have nothing to do with the show, she certainly honors her movie, since she's recently sung "The Climb" again a couple of times and citing that it's one of her favorite songs.
