difference between her and Miley.. Miley wanted to be Hannah got pissy about how the public only associated her with that personna in later days . Went on a hannah hate spree Jojo was engrained from a young age to be that way . Miley had a sense of self before she started . she already knew she wasn’t that person(she knew it was just acting for a TV show). now that Miley is in her 30s she actually accepts Hannah. and says good things about her past character that she played … JoJo was made to believe that .. it was her persona by the adults around her
