Miley Cyrus Lost Name Control

When American singer and actress Miley Cyrus allowed Disney to use the name Miley in "Hannah Montana," she later said she did not realize Disney would control the commercial use of it. In a 2016 interview, she said, "My name was Miley on my show, but I didn’t own my name," because her family had not fully understood the business side of the deal. Her mother, Tish Cyrus, later hired people to protect her interests, which Cyrus said helped her eventually gain control over her music.
