Miley Cyrus Says She Lost Hotel Transylvania Role Over Penis Cake Scandal
- When Miley Cyrus was 18, a private photo of her presenting a penis-shaped cake to Liam Hemsworth for his birthday became public, leading to her being removed from her role in the Hotel Transylvania animated series.
- The firing resulted from the photo leaking after her backpack and camera were stolen at a party, and studio bosses felt uneasy about her leading a family-oriented movie.
- Cyrus explained on Monica Lewinsky's podcast on June 10, 2025, that she considered the cake a simple adult joke common at bachelorette parties and found the firing ridiculous.
- She shared that she was originally cast as the voice of Mavis Dracula in Hotel Transylvania but lost the role after making a controversial adult-themed joke, and mentioned that similar novelty cakes are commonly sold in Nashville, Tennessee.
- This incident ended Cyrus' role in the franchise and sparked discussion on changing standards for teen stars and consequences when actions conflict with family movie audiences.
