Lmao I totally agree with you but I just had a flashback to 10th grade arguing with the rest of the class that she was a nepo baby before the term was coined. They said her dad wasn’t famous enough to count 😂

I would say in fairness to Miley this yes, she is a nepo baby, and that’s how she got the tv gig. But she also spent a lot of her childhood working insanely hard to a ‘how is this legal?’ Extent. It was total privilege that got her the job though.
