Miley’s NSFW gift that got her fired exposed.
Miley Cyrus just dropped a jaw-dropping bombshell—she says a gift got her fired from a kid’s movie.
Miley’s confession revealed.
The singer opened up about the scandalous moment on Monica Lewinsky’s podcast, and let’s just say—it wasn’t vanilla.
At just 18, Cyrus had landed the lead voice role in Hotel Transylvania, until one now-infamous birthday gift turned her career upside down.
The drama happened in January 2012, months before the film was released.
“I, as a joke, got my boyfriend a p**** cake for his birthday and I got fired,” she confessed.
That boyfriend? None other than Liam Hemsworth, her on-again, off-again heartthrob.
The cake in question was not subtle—it was loud, proud, and very anatomically correct.
Photo leak of cake explained.
Photos of Miley licking the X-rated dessert quickly leaked, courtesy of a stolen camera.
TMZ was the first to publish the leaked photo, dubbing the dessert a “massive phallic confection.”
“It was nothing I posted,” she told Lewinsky. “I got robbed. It’s not cool.”
Cyrus says her backpack was snatched at a private party, and that’s how the world saw the now-infamous image.
Back then, Miley had just shed her Hannah Montana image and was testing the boundaries of adulthood.
Her fashion, performances, and statements were bold—often too bold for some fans and studios.
But Cyrus insists it was all part of growing up under a microscope.
Fallout of cake incident clarified.
But in 2012, that image was enough to cost her the part in Sony’s animated kids flick.
Sony cut ties with her and brought in another Disney darling—Selena Gomez—to replace her.
Gomez went on to voice the character Mavis Dracula, and the movie became a massive franchise.
At the time, tabloids were merciless, calling Miley “out of control” and “too adult” for the gig.
But the pop star has since pushed back on the controversy, calling it a ridiculous overreaction.
“You can get p**** cakes in Nashville. They’re everywhere,” she said. “It’s not that big of a deal.”
She compared it to harmless bachelorette party fun, not scandal-worthy behavior.
“Girls my age go to Magic Mike shows. But I wasn’t considered appropriate for kids,” she said.
And that’s where the real sting lies—being judged not for the job, but for being young and female.
The irony? Her replacement, Selena Gomez, was also a Disney alum growing up in the spotlight.
Miley says she was punished not for the act, but for the image going public—even if it wasn’t her doing.
“I thought it was funny. Not vulgar. Just silly,” she told Lewinsky.
Her reflection now is calm but unfiltered—a mature view on the fallout from one wild birthday party.
New album drops as Miley reflects on past.
Cyrus’ new album Something Beautiful marks a more introspective chapter in her career.
She’s reclaiming her past, scars and all, in the lyrics and in interviews like this.
And that includes telling the world how she was swapped out of a Hollywood role for licking a cake.
The bombshell? It wasn’t just a firing—it was a firing over something that never should’ve been public.
Miley’s final word? “It felt ridiculous.” But the photo—and the replacement—are now Hollywood history.
