There is a massive plot hole about Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus that has recently resurfaced and gone viral, and it’s going to ruin your whole week.

The movie and television world is filled with inconsistencies and plot holes. No one can escape it, not even the most well known companies in the businesses.
That includes Disney .
They might be all-powerful, but they are not perfect.
In fact, considering their massive array of film and television shows, they probably have made more mistakes than anyone.
But that’s why you have people like us to help you notice all the little slip-ups that they make!
So let’s get into it, Disney fans! I have some truly terrible news.
There is a massive plot hole in Hannah Montana about Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus that fans are just noticing now, after all these years.
So, naturally, it has gone viral, and we absolutely need to discuss it.
So, as you are probably painfully aware, Hannah Montana came to an end in 2011 — nine years ago.
Saying that out loud makes me feel very old.
But a fan on TikTok recently discovered that something about the show doesn’t quite add up.
And now that it’s been pointed out to us, we can never unsee it.
My whole childhood was basically a lie, so that’s something.
So, basically, Miley Cyrus’ dad, Billy Ray, plays her father on the show, Robby Ray.
On the show, Robby Ray is a famous, retired country singer — similar to his real life identity.
But there’s one thing that doesn’t make sense about that…
Robby Ray is Miley Stewart’s father, but he is also recognized as being Hannah Montana’s father, too.
And yet, no one ever put two and two together?
No one ever realized that Robby Ray’s daughter was Hannah Montana but also a regular teenage girl named Miley Stewart?
The TikTok user that discovered this, KylieKlunder, explained in a clip, “Robby Ray [Stewart] was Miley Stewart’s dad.”
She mentioned that we know everybody is aware of who Miley’s dad is, because in one episode Rico asks him for an autograph.
“We know this because Rico goes to their house and says, ‘Miley and Jackson, I need to talk to your dad because my grandma’s a big fan of old, washed-up country singers.”
“Can I please get his autograph?” she asks.
Kylieklunder goes on to explain to the viewers:
“Common knowledge that the old country singer is Robby Ray … is Miley and Jackson’s dad .”
Common knowledge aside, it actually gets so much worse, believe it or not. The plot hole thickens.
She also pointed out that in season two, when the Jonas Brothers made an appearance in an episode, they also express their excitement to meet Hannah Montana’s dad, Robby Ray.
“‘Yep, my dad — Robby Ray, the old country singer — writes all the songs,'” the TikTok user says.
It doesn’t stop there!
In another example, she explains that in a separate episode when Robby Ray presents Hannah Montana with the Golden Booty award, he says that he is excited to give it to his “daughter.”
“Robby Ray the famous country singer was both Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana’s dad and nobody ever put it together!” she concludes.
So, do you feel bad about yourself yet?
Personally, I can’t believe I never put this all together myself.
Of course, fans are shook by this sudden realization.
Not only am I mad that this obvious plot hole exists in such a vital childhood series of mine.
It’s hard not to question your own intelligence when something like this happens.
People are genuinely mad that this entire time Robby Ray would wear a fake mustache and pretend to be in disguise, but still go by the same name.
What’s even more maddening is that we all fell for it for YEARS.
This person tweeted that if things had gone more realistically, everyone would have known from the jump that Miley was Hannah, and simply have chosen not to bring it up.
Make it make sense, Disney! I’m begging you!
Can we just talk about Robby Ray’s “manager” disguise for a second? That mustache actually had us all fooled. I’m mad.
How is it that we are all just realizing this now? In 2020, after all this time?
Hannah referred to Robby as her father COUNTLESS times throughout the series, and yet, no one ever figured out that he was also Miley’s dad?
I need to sit down and have a chat with the writers of Hannah Montana because this is NOT OKAY.
