Miley Cyrus shared in a recent podcast interview about her past drug use and how she hid those purchases from her accountant by calling them “vintage clothes.”
The 32-year-old Grammy-winning singer said that drugs were a large part of the creative process recording her 2015 album “Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz.”

”The drugs were the biggest cost, which to hide those from my accountant, we called them ‘vintage clothes,'” Cyrus said on an episode of The Ringer’s “Every Single Album” podcast. “So she would get these checks for thousands of dollars worth of vintage clothes.”
“Every time she saw me, she’d be like, ‘Where’s that, like, $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?'” she continued. “I was like, ‘Oh, it’s upstairs. … We just really want to protect it. It’s really delicate.'”
Cyrus said she ‘bought a lot of ‘vintage clothes’ that year,” and has since been vocal about getting sober from marijuana and alcohol.
“I’m so glad I survived that time in my life,” she said. “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.”
Cyrus is currently publicizing her ninth studio album, “Something Beautiful,” which released on May 30.
