Billy Ray Cyrus’ ex-wife Firerose recently reflected on her marriage and subsequent divorce from the singer in an interview with Stellar magazine. She expressed regret over not running in the opposite direction and never looking back when she first met the musician at the age of 22. Firerose met Cyrus over a decade before their wedding as she was leaving an audition in Hollywood on the same lot where “Hannah Montana” was being filmed, leading to a quick interaction that eventually blossomed into a romance.
Despite her initial reservations about Billy Ray, who was still married to his second wife Tish Cyrus at the time, Firerose eventually began a romantic relationship with him during the coronavirus pandemic. The couple bonded over their shared love of music and collaborated on various projects, which ultimately led to their marriage. However, the honeymoon phase quickly fizzled out as Billy Ray filed for divorce after seven months, citing irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct as the reasons for the split.
In the midst of their divorce, Billy Ray accused Firerose of charging $96,000 on his credit card and requested a restraining order against her to prevent further spending. In response, Firerose accused Billy Ray of exhibiting unpredictable and volatile behavior, leading to extreme verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse. Despite her claims, their divorce was finalized on August 5, with Firerose receiving no money from her ex but gaining control over credits and royalties for songs they wrote together.
Firerose revealed that she was blindsided by Billy Ray’s divorce filing and alleged that he forced her out of their marital home on the same day she was scheduled to undergo a double mastectomy. She described feeling isolated and restricted by Billy Ray’s rules, claiming she was only allowed to go to the local chiropractor and get her nails done once a month. The divorce settlement did not result in Firerose receiving any financial compensation from Billy Ray, but she did gain control over their shared song credits and royalties.
Throughout the divorce process, Firerose remained adamant about standing up for herself and speaking out against what she perceived as mistreatment by Billy Ray. Despite the difficulties she faced during their marriage and subsequent breakup, she emphasized the importance of learning from her experience and moving forward. Firerose’s candid reflections shed light on the complexities of relationships and the challenges of navigating difficult circumstances, ultimately highlighting the importance of self-advocacy and resilience in the face of adversity.
