In an interview with The New York Post, Osment stated, “I’m kind of busy right now. A little busy. Let me get through my wedding and this show, and then we’ll talk.” Her upcoming wedding and new projects emphasize that any reunion plans remain uncertain.

Then, there is the issue of bringing back Miley Cyrus and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, who played her father in the show. The two are currently not on speaking terms, and Miley says that he is “dead” to her after an audio recording was leaked. In the recording, Billy Ray can be heard calling his daughter a “skank” and the “devil.”

The country music singer is currently going through a messy divorce with his third wife, Australian singer Firerose. She has accused Billy Ray of being abusive throughout their marriage, and the audio recordings only seem to confirm that.
Billy Ray has not apologized for what he said about his daughter. Instead, he blamed his soon-to-be ex-wife, saying that she pushed him to his limit.
