Miley Cyrus, a pop star known for her portrayal of Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel series, has stated that having a famous parent on set with her at all times may have protected her from potential abuse in the industry. The country singer played the father of his real-life daughter's character on the show. Miley also mentioned that her mother pushed for Billy Ray to be cast as Robby Ray Stewart on the children's series so the Cyrus clan could be together during filming. The comments come amidst allegations of child-star abuse by Dan Schneider and Nickelodeon in the documentary "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV".
