Firerose did not get her fairytale.
In a new interview, the soon-to-be former wife of Billy Ray Cyrus revealed how the country singer controlled all aspects of her life from who she texted to when she left their Nashville home. The pair tied the knot in October 2023 after years of friendship and musical collaborations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Firerose, 36, shared how she believed the 62-year-old when he told her, One day, we’re going to have an epic love story beyond what anyone could imagine.
However, in May 2024, Billy Ray filed for divorce from Firerose after just seven months of marriage.
Both parties have since hurled accusations of abuse in the legal paperwork. During the sit-down, Firerose claimed the father of Miley Cyrus kicked her out of their Tennessee home on the same day she was meant to have a double mastectomy. Billy had very strict rules
, the musician confessed. I didn’t have a car. I was only allowed to go to the local chiropractor and allowed once a month to get my nails done… it was systematic isolation and I couldn’t find the courage to leave.
Billy Ray filed for divorce from Firerose in May 2024. Those close to Firerose were not allowed to come to the home either, she noted, adding, If I had to send a text, I had to read it out to him for permission. It was the same for email.
A close pal described how being forcibly cooped up was for the singer: It felt like Firerose was in a prison that she didn’t sign up for
, they stated.
Firerose explained how Billy Ray would behave in the toxic relationship, sharing how he would often give her the silent treatment for hours and sometimes even days. When he wasn’t giving her the silent treatment, she alleged he would scream at her. He would rage at me, shout at me at the top of his lungs. He would terrify me, yelling, ‘You stupid dumb f—— b—-, crazy w—-,’
Firerose said. It was illogical and insane and terrifying.
The Australian native also revealed the timeline of their romance. Billy Ray originally met Firerose in 2011 on the set of Hannah Montana. Things between them did not get romantic until 10 years later when Billy Ray tracked down Firerose to duet with him on a version of Tanya Tucker’s “Delta Dawn.” Firerose said Billy Ray told her he had not stopped thinking about her for the last decade. Every day, he told me, ‘I’m getting divorced’ but he said it was complicated because of the kids, and they had been married for so long. I just accepted everything he told me to be true
, she added.
They began dating in 2021 after releasing their duet “A New Day” in 2021. However, Billy Ray forbid Firerose from discussing their romance publicly. When Billy Ray’s former wife Tish Cyrus filed for divorce in 2022 after a 28-year marriage that produced five children including Miley Cyrus, Firerose was shocked as she was under the impression her then-beau had already done so.
I would never ever have entered into a relationship with a married man
, she stated. Tish and Billy Ray wed in 1993. Miley Cyrus is one of five children Billy Ray and Tish raised together during their long marriage.
Billy is currently asking for an annulment on grounds of ‘fraud’ less than a year after tying this new knot.
