Startling new audio provides strong evidence supporting claims from Billy Ray Cyrus's ex-wife that he subjected her to months of “extreme verbal, emotional and psychological abuse”.
The tape exposes the shocking treatment that Australian singer Firerose, 37, claims she endured throughout her seven-month marriage to Miley Cyrus's father.
The audio is hard to listen to as the 62-year-old country singer unleashes a toxic tirade, mocking, belittling, and bullying his much younger wife in a relentless and brutal attack.
In the confrontation, seemingly ignited by Billy Ray's anger over being delayed for a show, he warns her, “If you had just left it the f**k alone, now I'm really 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.”
Billy Ray continues his profanity-filled tirade, sneering: “I don' think you're real smart, I've changed my mind on that s**t. What I think you are is a selfish f**king b***h. That's what you are.”
As she pleads with him to “please stop shouting”, he responds: “This would not be happening if you had just shut your f**king mouth. Look what a f**king mess you've made.”
Additional evidence reveals that the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer's venom is not confined to Firerose but extends to several other significant women in his life.
This includes his superstar daughter, Miley, whom Billy Ray exclusively refers to as the "devil."
In another audio recording obtained by DailyMail.com, Billy Ray oddly speaks of himself in the third person before focusing on his daughter, Miley, and making the shocking remark: “Everyone knows that devil's a skank.”
He is just as dismissive and scornful of Tish, his ex-wife of over 30 years and the mother of three of his biological children—Miley, 31, Braison, 30, and Noah, 24. He never refers to her by name, instead calling her "s**t."
Billy Ray has a son from a prior relationship and adopted Tish's two children, Brandi, 37, and Trace, 35, after they got married.
In a startling text conversation with his manager and publicist Scott Adkins, reviewed by DailyMail.com, Billy Ray describes Tish as: “She is a liar…a w***e…and a cheat. Complete skank. Scum of the earth. A fraud.”
He compares her to Lindsay Lohan's mother, Dina, 61, and texts that she “Makes Deanna [sic] Lohan look like Mother Theresa.”
Billy Ray's marriage to Firerose, which occurred just four months after Tish filed for divorce in 2022, is thought to have put a strain on his relationship with Miley.
The former child star, who was raised on Disney Channel alongside her father, famously ignored Billy Ray during her Grammy Awards acceptance speech in February.
Billy Ray first met Firerose in 2010 while he was still married to his second wife, Tish.
She was 22, and Billy Ray was 48 and starring alongside Miley on the Disney Channel hit show, Hannah Montana, at the time.
At that time, he was still married to Tish but told Firerose that they were "soulmates" and promised her a timeless romance.
Only seven months into the marriage, in May, Billy Ray filed for divorce, initiating an increasingly contentious legal dispute, according to court documents.
Firerose alleges that Billy Ray expelled her from their marital home on May 23, 2024—just one day before she was scheduled for a preventative double mastectomy, having been diagnosed with the BRCA1 gene in 2020, which increases her risk of certain cancers. She has since postponed her surgery "indefinitely."
