Wife alleges physical abuse at the hands of Billy Ray Cyrus
In a mere year, the union of Country-Musician Billy Ray Cyrus and Singer Tish Cyrus crumbled to pieces, transforming into a filthy tug-of-war. Tish ain't holding back in her attacks against the 62-year-old. Wonder what Miley Cyrus might be thinking about this?
Miley had a massive hit last year with "Flowers," a track where she gloated about her split from ex Liam Hemsworth. Even Billy Ray can't help but sneer at the song now. After all, his own relationship is biting the dust too. Much like his daughter handles her breakup, it ain't the same for him. Actually, it's the opposite.
Two marriages and an affair with extramarital kids lie in Billy Ray's past. He and his second wife "Tish," with whom he had two more children, had their ups and downs for years, ending in a divorce in 2022. Soon after, he jumped into another relationship: the Australian singer Firerose. However, this love didn't last long either. In fact, they tied the knot as early as October 2023.
Seems like the phrase "Those who bind themselves forever, beware" has its justification. The relationship didn't even last half a year before things soured. And it's starting to look like a classic mudslinging match.
Financial Disputes
All the mess started when reports came out last week that Billy Ray filed for divorce. It turned out that he made the move as early as May 23rd. His reason: the infamous "irreconcilable differences." He also accused Firerose of "improper marital conduct" and "fraud," demanding the annulment of the marriage.
Exactly what Billy Ray means by this allegation isn't clear. Officially, at least. However, "People" Magazine managed to dig up an alleged insider who claimed that the singer thought Firerose wasn't the person he thought he was marrying. Billy Ray came to the conclusion that the 26-year-old Aussie wasn't in love with him but married him for money. They had fights and trust issues surrounding dosh.
Billy Ray's accusations against Tish remain vague, but Firerose is taking concrete action now. According to "People," she filed for divorce on June 14th, and what's in it isn't nice.
Allegations of Domestic Abuse and Substance Abuse
"The woman was the victim of extreme verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse," quotes "People" the lawyer of Firerose. And further: "The woman was exposed to her husband's constant drug use, which went hand in hand with his unpredictable and erratic behavior."
Things don't stop there. The petition in detail describes Billy Ray's alleged response to Firerose's plans for a surgery. According to it, Firerose planned for a bilateral mastectomy on May 24th due to her genetically-induced higher breast cancer risk. The country musician reportedly insulted her continuously and "locked her up emotionally and psychologically" in response.
When the wife expressed certain concerns, the husband often called her a 'damned selfish slut' and accused her of using him, according to her lawyers, quoted by "People". One day before the scheduled surgery, Billy Ray then filed for divorce and forced her to leave their shared home. Homeless, she had to postpone the surgery indefinitely.
Temporary Restraining Order Granted
Furthermore, Firerose accuses her ex-husband of deliberating sabotaging her career. It's mentioned that she was hired by Billy Ray's management right before their wedding. However, their collaboration was terminated by him suddenly. This led to a loss of approximately 415,000 Dollars (around 387,000 Euro) for her, which is why she now demands alimony.
To sum up, the divorce petition by Firerose states: "The accumulation of verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse over the years, in conjunction with the fact that the husband intentionally limited her income and future prospects", caused great harm. Firerose (whose civil name is Johanna Rose Hodges) is currently engaged in heavy legal battles, while Billy Ray Cyrus reportedly took strict measures. According to celebrity news portal "TMZ," he obtained a temporary restraining order against Firerose recently. The reason: She allegedly withdrew around 90,000 Euros from his business account.
As for Miley, she's been quiet on the matter so far. However, it's known that she wasn't too pleased about her parents' separation. Her father's relationship with a much younger woman not long after didn't exactly excite her either.
