Yikes...
Billy Ray Cyrus is currently locked in a contentious - and highly public - divorce from his now-estranged wife, Australian singer Firerose. The couple were married back in October, with the 62-year old Cyrus announcing his marriage to the 36-year old Firerose on Instagram after a surprise wedding ceremony. It didn't last long though, with the couple’s official date of separation listed as May 22, 2024, and Cyrus gave his soon-to-be ex-wife a deadline of May 24th to leave their home while giving her a $500-a-night stipend over ten days for temporary housing. The country music singer cited “inappropriate marital conduct” and “irreconcilable differences” in his divorce filing, but Firerose claims that Billy Ray filed for divorce the day before she was scheduled to
undergo a preventative double mastectomy after discovering that she carried the gene that causes breast cancer. Since then, there have been plenty of
allegations of abuse flying around, with both Billy Ray and Firerose claiming that the other was abusive to them, and Billy Ray presenting notes from Firerose allegedly written after their separating asking to work things out. But Billy Ray also alleged that Firerose went on a nearly $100,000 spending spree after he filed for divorce. (Although apparently $50,000 was a mistake because her law firm accidentally charged her $50,000 when they meant to charge $5,000). Regardless, it hasn't been pretty - and the couple have seemed more than willing to air their dirty laundry for all to see. Firerose has made serious allegations that Billy Ray was verbally and emotionally abusive, and now the
Daily Mail has obtained audio that apparently shows the singer berating and cursing at his wife. In the recording, Billy Ray is apparently upset that Firerose somehow made him late for a performance:
"It's 9:15 you idiot. I needed to leave two hours ago. Get the f*ck out of here. I'm not in no place to go do a show... If you would have just shut the f*ck up. If you would have just left it the f*ck alone...Now I'm really f*cking pissed. You once again showed me you will not listen. I don't know who the f*ck you think you are, but you will not listen." Billy Ray can also be heard referencing Firerose being diagnosed with the BRCA gene, the genetic variant that puts her at a higher risk for breast cancer:
"And this ain't about your BRCA. This ain't about your surgery. This ain't about nothing. This is about you being a f*cking selfish b*tch." He then continued:
"I don't think you're real smart. I've changed my damn mind on that sh*t. What you are is a selfish f*cking b*tch... That's what you are. You're a self f*cking b*tch. You cannot continue to walk all over me and think that I'm going to go out in public with your dumb ass and f*cking have you do this sh*t anywhere you want in front of whoever... This would not be happening if you would have just shut your f*cking mouth. Look what a f*cking mess you've made. What a dumb*ss thing to do." When Firerose said that she just wanted him to be happy, Billy Ray responded:
"No, f*ck you. F*ck you." But it seems that his anger wasn't just reserved for his then-wife. In what appears to be a separate clip, the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer can be heard apparently bashing his daughter, pop singer Miley Cyrus, while talking about his children:
"Everyone knows the devil's a skank." Not a great look. https://twitter.com/themcscoop/status/1816173308926386646
