Miley was at Pearl Hotel in a private room.
She had drunk way past her limit and used the bathroom as an excuse to call Stella for help.
Immediately she finished speaking with Stella, she was dragged out of the bathroom to go continue drinking.
Jaden Deleon, the host, put his arm around Miley’s shoulder and placed a glass of wine in front of her.
“Miley! Drink with me.”
