Billy Ray Cyrus’ ex-wife Firerose ‘sabotaged’ his and Miley’s bond with one sneaky move, claims source

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The drama surrounding Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose’s tumultuous divorce takes a new turn, with allegations that the Australian singer attempted to create a rift between the country star and his famous daughter, Miley Cyrus.

Recent reports claimed Firerose "blocked" one daughter of Billy Ray on social media. A source has now confirmed that the daughter in question was Miley and Firerose made the move to further strain the father-daughter relationship, as reported by Perezhilton.com.

Firerose accused of manipulating Billy Ray Cyrus' family dynamics

In 2022, Miley Cyrus made headlines by unfollowing her father Billy Ray Cyrus on Instagram, a gesture that was reciprocated by him.

However, an insider told The US Sun that Firerose was behind this social media maneuver, which also involved other celebrities.

“The truth is that Firerose kept him from communicating with his family, and she took over his social media and unfollowed people that he was following like his daughters, Lil Nas X, and so many other people in his life.”

The source claimed that Miley’s relationship with Billy Ray now was actually on better terms than previously reported.

“Billy Ray and Miley are on good terms and have been for a long time.”

The insider asserts that while there was some strain in Billy Ray’s relationship with his family due to his association with Firerose, the extent of the rift may have been exaggerated. “Firerose sabotaged his relationship with his family, but real rift rumors were totally overblown,” the source said.

They also noted that Miley’s omission of her father during her Grammy acceptance speech was not intended as a snub.

Despite these claims, recent leaked audio recordings reveal Billy Ray’s harsh comments about Firerose and other family members, including Miley. The leaked recordings include Billy Ray referring to Miley in derogatory terms, leading many to believe there is significant discord between them.

Firerose’s representative responded to the leaks, labeling them as part of an ongoing smear campaign against her.

“Billy Ray got caught red-handed,” the spokesperson said. “His smear campaign against Firerose is becoming ridiculous and exhausting. Firerose is the only party with tangible evidence of who the real toxic partner in this relationship was.”

In contrast, Billy Ray’s lawyer, Rose Palermo, defended his client, attributing his harsh words to frustration after discovering Firerose’s “true motives for marrying him.”

Palermo criticized Firerose for attempting to “litigate her case in the press,” dismissing the claims as a distraction from the real issues at hand.

Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose's explosive confrontation amid marriage woes

Billy Ray Cyrus and estranged wife Firerose clashed in a heated argument, with audio of their exchange surfacing online. Cyrus confirmed the recording's authenticity to Fox News Digital, admitting, "Hell yeah, I was at my wit's end."

Cyrus explained his suspicions about Firerose before discovering she was David Hodges' ex-wife and accused her of trying to take over his career and the Cyrus name. He claimed ignorance of her past, including an alleged felony residential burglary charge.

"That was before I knew her parents' last name. I had no idea she was arrested for felony residential burglary. Everything I thought I knew about her was a lie. She was trying to take over my career, my life, and usurp the Cyrus name for her gain," he stated.

He ended with a defiant, "See you in court," also posted on his Instagram Story.

The recording captures a tense exchange, with Cyrus angrily saying, "It's 9:15, you idiot. I needed to leave two hours ago."

Firerose counters, "No, you didn't. You can still leave and get there in time," escalating the argument. Cyrus continues, "Get the f**k out of here. I'm not going. I'm not in no place to go do a show. I had to go when I was ready to go. If you could just shut the f**k up."

Firerose responds, "Please stop screaming at me," to which Cyrus retorts, "If you would have left it alone when I told you. It's done. Now I'm really f**king pissed. You once again showed me you will not listen. I don't know who the f**k you think you are, but you will not f**king listen. This ain't about your BRCA [gene]. This ain't about your surgery. This is about you being a f**king selfish b***h."

Cyrus continues, "You're a selfish as f**king b***h. You cannot continue to walk all over me and think that I'm gonna go out in public with your dumba**."

Firerose asks, "Are you referring to you screaming at me right now?"

Cyrus replies, "This would not be happening if you would have just shut your f**king mouth. Look what a f**king mess you made. What a dumba** thing to do."

A source close to the situation alleges the audio has been edited, claiming it is a compilation of several conversations.
