Mom Jokes About Noah Cyrus Serving Jury Duty While High

Family honesty reaches a whole new level when it doubles as podcast content. Tish Cyrus didn’t hold back on the Thursday, May 14 episode of her Sorry We’re Cyrus podcast when discussing her daughter Noah Cyrus’s recent jury duty summons, steering the conversation in a direction that only a family this comfortable with their own quirks could navigate.

The setup was simple enough: Noah, 26, got called for jury duty. Standard civic obligation. But Tish, 59, saw comedy gold.“She would be so funny,”the mother speculated, before pivoting to the real question on her mind:“Would she just be able to be stoned and be on jury duty?”Her other daughter Brandi Cyrus, 38, quickly pointed out that probably wouldn’t fly. Tish’s response?“I know, but it would be so good.”

The humor lands because it’s rooted in a genuinely open dynamic between Tish and Noah about marijuana use. Last summer, Noah claimed on the podcast that she’d driven her mom to the dispensary so Tish could increase her dose. Tish acknowledged she was trying to“ease back in”to smoking after using cannabis to cope with her divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus, 64, and the loss of her mother Loretta Finley, who died in 2020. Speaking to The Squeeze in January, Tish reflected on that period with clarity:“I think that during the time I lost my mom and my marriage fell apart, that was like self-medicating in some ways.”Therapy later helped her understand the pattern, though she remains open about believing in plant medicine as a tool.

What makes this exchange notable isn’t the joke itself—it’s how casually Tish and her blended family of six kids (in addition to Noah and Brandi, she and Billy Ray share Trace, 37, Miley, 33, and Braison, 32) treat these conversations. No shame, no filter, just honest talk about how they actually live. Whether Noah was ultimately excused from jury duty remains a mystery, but the real takeaway is simpler: a family that can laugh at itself together probably stays together. Tish is now married to Dominic Purcell.
