Emily Osment Just Revealed Why She’s Skipping the Hannah Montana Reunion

Emily Osment is sitting this one out. The actress who played Lilly Truscott—Miley Stewart’s ride-or-die best friend on Hannah Montana—just announced she won’t be attending the show’s 20th anniversary reunion, and honestly? We didn’t see this coming.

For six seasons (2006-2011), Osment was a core part of the Disney juggernaut alongside Miley Cyrus. She was there for all the iconic moments: the wig reveals, the secret identity chaos, the musical performances. But apparently, when it came time to dust off those early-2000s looks and get nostalgic with the cast, Osment had other plans.

She didn’t leave fans completely empty-handed though. In a statement, Osment explained her absence and thanked everyone involved with the show. The specifics? She kept those close to the chest, but made it clear this wasn’t about drama or bad blood—sometimes people just can’t make reunions happen, right?

The rest of the gang is expected to show up, which means we might be getting Miley, Billy Ray Cyrus, and the whole crew back together. Just sans Lilly. It’s definitely a bummer for anyone hoping to see that iconic friendship group reunited on camera, but Osment’s got her reasons.
