Like the rest of the world, Billy Ray Cyrus found out today about his daughter's use of a bong during her 18th birthday party.
Taking his thoughts to Twitter - because all fathers should be concerned about their public reputations over any sense of privacy or decorum - Billy Ray seemed to lay some of the blame at the feet of his ex-wife.
He and Tish are going through divorce proceedings right now, which Billy Ray clearly references in his response to Miley's actions:
The video of Miley Cyrus smoking a bong at her birthday party last month has raised many questions among her fans and critics. Is this proper behavior? What idiotic friend filmed this act?
And what the heck if salvia?
Indeed, the substance Miley inhales on camera is an herb that is legal to possess in California. However, it has been listed as a "drug of concern" by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.
It looks like this friend of Miley Cyrus has already had a hit or two of salvia, doesn't it?
Here is what else the DEA has to say about salvia:
It's typically smoked to "evoke hallucinogenic effects."
These effects "include perceptions of bright lights, vivid colors and shapes, as well as body movements and body or object distortions."
Did Miley Cyrus's Bong Video Make Dad Billy Ray Cyrus 'So Sad?'
Did daddy's girl Miley Cyrus let down her typically proud pop Billy Ray?
While Billy Ray doesn't specifically address the bong hit video that leaked Friday, he did post a provocative message hours later.
"Sorry guys," he Tweeted. "I had no idea. Just saw this stuff for the first time myself."
He continues, "Im so sad. There is much beyond my control right now."
PHOTOS: Miley Cyrus's Most Outrageous Moments
Bill Ray is in the midst ofdivorcing his wife Tish. Miley, who recently turned 18, said all she wanted for her birthday was to "take a vacation with my family."
Miley spent 2010 hell-bent on destroying her squeaky-clean “Hannah Montana” image. Her wardrobe became increasingly skimpy, her on-stage performances became increasing risqué(she simulated a girl-on-girl kiss during a June concert), and the music videos in support of her new album, appropriately titled “Can’t Be Tamed,” became increasingly steamy. In October, the Parents Television Council slammed Miley, saying in a statement: “Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls, and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fan base so rapidly.” But Miley, who turned 18 in November, has shown no remorse for her controversial march to adulthood. Who knows how far the now-adult Miley will push the envelope in 2011.

Miley Cyrus is putting on a happy face these days, one often seen slobbering all over Avan Jogia.
But friends of the singer tell Hollywood Life that she's actually suffering a lot in the face of her parents' divorce, as they fear she's headed down a Demi Lovato-like, destructive path.
“Miley is trying to be strong going through her parents' breakup and she loves them both,” a friend claims. “Everyone is reading into each of her every moves, like when she goes out with her mom and no one sees her dad. It’s pushing her buttons.”
With filming on the film LOL underway, this source says Cyrus is "trying to focus on her new movie." However:
"Some of us are worried about her. She’s putting on a brave face, but she seems tired and stressed.”
Miley Cyrus Treats Mom to Post-Holiday Girls' Day Out
How do you top off a Thanksgiving dinner? If you're birthday girl Miley Cyrus, you treat your mom to a girls' day out.
After celebrating the holiday at their Toluca Lake, Calif., home, Cyrus, who turned 18 Nov. 23, and her mom Tish braved the holiday shoppers Friday to get their nails done and share a casual ladies' lunch.
At Cosmo Nails in Toluca Lake, "Miley and her mom enjoyed pedicures and seemed very happy to spend some alone time," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "They kept chatting and were both in a great mood. Miley treated her mom and she was very sweet and also left a great tip."
Later, during lunch at Panera Bread, "Tish and Miley kept hugging at the table. They were talking a lot and both seemed very happy," an observer says. "A few fans approached Miley and she was very nice to them."
Miley's dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, spent the holiday in Nashville after recentlyfiling to divorce Tish.
Miley Had Dinner with Liam Hemsworth on Her Birthday
After having new rumored lover Avan Jogia at her pre-birthday bash, Miley Cyrus was reportedly accompanied by her old flame, Liam Hemsworth, when she officially turned 18 on Tuesday, November 23. According to X17 Online, Miley and Liam spent Tuesday night together at sushi restaurant Matsuda in the San Fernando Valley.
Miley and Liam allegedly had a casual dinner with a group of friends. Of the gathering, a source told the site, “Miley was relaxed and having fun and of course there was a connection between her and Liam. They dated for so long and were so serious it’s like they can’t deny their special relationship with each other.”
Though so, Miley and Liam managed to avoid being photographed together. While the Australian heartthrob left the restaurant through the back door, the “LOL: Laughing Out Loud” actress and her pals met the paparazzi outside the venue to distract them.
Despite the dinner, there has been no word on whether or not Miley and Liam are back together. Following their second split earlier this month, Miley has been romantically linked to Avan. The two were recently photographed engaged in a heavy make-out session. Liam himself was also spotted getting cozy with model Yolanda Vendy at a nightclub in Melbourne.
Miley Cyrus has been “acting out” since her parents announced they’re getting divorced.
The Hannah Montana star — who earlier this week celebrated her 18th birthday — is devastated dad Billy Ray and mom Tish have split and apparently blames her career for the destruction of their marriage.
“Miley’s spinning out of control,” a worried pal told American tabloid the National Enquirer. “She carries a lot of guilt — most of Billy Ray and Tish’s arguments were over her career.
“She’s acting out in the worst possible way.
“This is a girl searching for herself.”
Recent reports have claimed Miley’s career tore her family apart.
“The fight over Miley is what tore Tish and Billy Ray apart. They can’t agree on how to raise her, and it’s wrecked their marriage,” an insider said.
“Billy Ray thinks Miley is becoming a spoiled-brat monster – and he thinks it’s ALL Tish’s fault.
“They’ve had screaming matches for years.
“Billy Ray doesn’t like that he was eclipsed by his daughter’s stardom.
“He used to be the biggest star in country music and he wants his old life back.”
