Billy Ray Cyrus, the famed country singer, finds himself at the center of severe abuse allegations based on newly exposed audio recordings.
An explosive audio release has documented Billy Ray Cyrus allegedly committing verbal and emotional abuse against his young wife, Firerose, and making disparaging remarks about his daughter, Miley Cyrus, and ex-wife, Tish Cyrus, Mail Online reported.
The story begins in October 2023, when Billy Ray, aged 62, married Firerose, formerly Johanna Scholem, just four months after his divorce proceedings with Tish Cyrus started.
The couple's relationship, however, took a tumultuous turn within months. By May 2024, seven months into their marriage, Cyrus filed for divorce, alleging "inappropriate marital conduct" due to what he claimed was "fraud" from Firerose.
Firerose, aged 37, was verbally denigrated by Billy Ray in recorded conversations where he unleashed a barrage of insults. In one particularly heated exchange, supposedly triggered by his delay to a stage performance, Billy Ray can be heard saying, "If you had just left it the f**k alone, now I'm f**king p***ed, once again showing you will not listen. I don't know who the f**k you think you are, but you will not listen…this ain't about nothing this is about you being a selfish f**king b***h."
This event occurred in a broader context of worsening marital strife. Firerose has detailed a pattern of 'extreme verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse' throughout their brief union.
Following the breakdown of their marriage, she was evicted from their shared home on May 23, 2024, prompting her to file a legal motion to retrieve her personal belongings.
In addition to the conflict with Firerose, the audio recordings include harsh criticisms of his daughter, Miley, and his former wife, Tish. Cyrus described Miley as a "devil" and a "skank," while a text message saw him label Tish as a "liar," "whore," and "cheat."
Billy Ray's camp has not been silent on these issues. He has countered claims of abuse by alleging physical mistreatment at the hands of Fireroute, pointing to her as the provocateur in their troubled relationship. Additionally, he accuses Firerose of incurring fraudulent charges amounting to $96,986.
Firerose has reported feeling "unsafe" and has obtained psychological treatment due to the abusive dynamics of their relationship. She cites the need for emergency therapeutic sessions to cope with the trauma inflicted by the marital turmoil.
This toxic relationship and ensuing separation also impacted Firerose's health in other profound ways. She postponed her planned preventative double mastectomy indefinitely, a decision likely exacerbated by the emotional and psychological distress from her domestic situation.
Billy Ray's representatives have also offered their perspectives. Scott Adkins, his manager, provided an affidavit stating that he observed Firerose acting disrespectfully and being out of control towards Cyrus, perhaps hinting at mutual hostilities in their relationship.
The public reaction has been one of shock and disappointment, as Billy Ray Cyrus has long been a revered figure in the country music scene. The allegations and admissions revealed in audio files contrast sharply with his family-friendly image.
Legal experts suggest the reported issues could involve serious accusations beyond the typical stresses of celebrity marriages, raising concerns about mental health and relationship strife among celebrities.
As legal proceedings continue, more details are likely to emerge, providing a fuller picture of the collapse of Billy Ray Cyrus's marriage to Firerose and the deeper personal challenges involved.
The revelations about Billy Ray Cyrus's conduct reveal a deep rift within the Cyrus family. Volatile marital conflicts with Firerose, attacks on Miley, and harsh rebukes of Tish highlight a mix of personal and public crises.
As Firerose seeks therapy and retrieves her belongings, the entertainment world watches closely for further developments in this troubling family saga.
