In an interview with GQ in 2011, Billy Ray Cyrus railed the show, saying it "destroyed my family." When asked if he wished it had never happened, he admitted he did.
"I hate to say it, but yes, I do. Yeah. I'd take it back in a second," he said. "For my family to be here and just be everybody okay, safe and sound and happy and normal, would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah. I'd erase it all in a second if I could."
Time may have changed Cyrus' feelings on the matter, however. In February 2020, he was speaking enthusiastically about the possibility of a Hannah Montana prequel.
"They're talking about doing a prequel, which to me, I would do that in a heartbeat," he told HollywoodLife. "Because that means I get to get my mullet back. [Plus,] I think there's a whole story that led up to Miley becoming Hannah Montana."
