Newly released audio exposes Billy Ray Cyrus as abusive, revealing deep-seated issues with his daughter, Miley Cyrus.
According to the Daily Mail, the controversy came to light through an audio clip in which Billy Ray expresses derogatory sentiments about Miley.
During the Hannah Montana series, tension was already mounting between Miley and her father, which intensified when Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, Miley’s mother, decided to separate. Miley sided with her mother, distancing herself from anyone she felt could harm her.
Despite winning two Grammys, this strain became apparent when Miley did not mention her father in her acceptance speeches. The recently surfaced recording captures Billy Ray referring to Miley harshly, highlighting their strained relationship.
Moreover, Billy Ray’s troubles extend beyond his relationship with Miley. His recent separation from Firerose, just seven months post-marriage, brought more issues to light. He cited “inappropriate marital conduct” for the split, while Firerose countered with claims of “extreme verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse.”
Firerose, 37, described a controlled life where she wasn’t allowed a car and could only leave the house for limited reasons. She stated, “It was systematic isolation, and I lacked the courage to leave. I had to read any text message or email aloud for permission.”
In the audio, Billy Ray also demeaned Firerose, calling her an “idiot” and “imbecile.” Her accounts depict a worrying level of manipulation and control within their relationship.
These revelations cast a shadow over Billy Ray Cyrus’s personal life, sparking broader discussions on family dynamics, the impact of fame on personal relationships, and the troubling aspects of celebrity culture.
