Story 5: Mitchel Musso Explains Why He Skipped Hannah Montana Reunion
At 40:48 · chapter starts 39:53
Claudia reads Musso's extended quote from the Joe Vulpes podcast in which he explains that his 'kid self was banking' on a proper Hannah Montana reunion episode or movie, and that having waited 10 years to come back, he refused to participate in something that didn't feel 'correct.' Jackie's response is immediate and merciless: who does he think he's punishing? She genuinely didn't know he wasn't at the reunion. She adds that she suspects Emily Osment's absence may have led to Musso's invitation being quietly rescinded. Jackie then reads Musso's 2023 arrest record — chips theft from a hotel market, public intoxication, $1,000 bond, charges later dismissed — concluding it's 'erratic stuff' but probably not bad enough to get him kicked off the Disney lot.
