Billy Ray Cyrus Seemingly Responds to Firerose’s ‘Strict Rules’ Claim

Firerose is making new claims against her estranged husband, Billy Ray Cyrus. In a new interview with Page Six, the 36-year-old Australian singer accuses 62-year-old Cyrus of subjecting her to his demands throughout their seven-month marriage. 

“Billy had very strict rules,” Firerose claims. “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.”

She also claims that her friends and family weren’t allowed to visit her at the former couple’s home, saying, “If I had to send a text, I had to read it out to him for permission. It was the same for email.”

Firerose, whose real name is Johanna Rose Hodges, says she was “afraid to talk” amid her husband’s alleged demands. She also claims that she was shocked when his ex, Tish Cyrus, filed for divorce, saying she thought he had done so long before. 

“I would never ever have entered into a relationship with a married man, but he was such a great manipulator,” Firerose claims.

She also alleges that the “Achy Break Heart” singer would often yell at her and call her derogatory names. 

“He would rage at me, shout at me at the top of his lungs. He would terrify me, yelling, ‘You stupid dumb f**king b**ch, crazy w**re,'” Firerose claims. “It was illogical and insane and terrifying.”

A rep for Cyrus had no comment on Firerose’s latest accusations. However, the “Old Town Road” singer took to Instagram on Sunday, posting a photo of himself on a motorbike and writing, “Happy Sunday everybody! Don’t believe I’ve ever heard the word LIAR this much on Sunday morning. I’m sure very soon the truth will be revealed.”

He noted that the image was taken by his daughter, Noah Cyrus. 

In court documents obtained by ET — which were filed on June 24 in Williamson County, Tennessee — Cyrus claimed that Firerose’s allegations of abuse, which she made in paperwork filed on June 14, were “only made to sensationalize her false complaints by using the word abuse.”

“While the plaintiff [Cyrus] would acknowledge that he was certainly vocal, frustrated, and angry with the defendant [Firerose] in May 2024, it is [Cyrus] who, in fact, has been abused,” the court docs claimed. “Not only verbally and emotionally by the defendant, but also physically by the defendant.”

In response to Firerose’s accusations that Cyru was “interfering in [her] career in the music industry,” Cyrus’ lawyers claim that Firerose “had absolutely no significant career in the music industry prior to meeting him.”

The docs state that Cyrus confronted Firerose about alleged “fraud” and claims that Firerose said, “If you ever think of divorcing me right now, I will tell everyone that you did it because of the double mastectomy and your career will be over.”

The documents also refute Firerose’s claim that he filed for divorce one day before she was scheduled to have a preventative double mastectomy.

“[Billy Ray] denies that the defendant had her double mastectomy surgery scheduled for May 24, 2024; however, [Billy Ray] would admit that the defendant… did have a preliminary appointment scheduled with her doctor for May 24th 2024, which was scheduled to take place prior to her scheduled elective surgery occurring on June 6th 2024,” his lawyers claim.

Cyrus further alleges that the planned procedure was “all in effort to carry out her threat to the plaintiff that if he tried to divorce her, she would claim it was because of her double mastectomy in an effort to ruin his longstanding career in the entertainment industry.”

Those documents came 10 days after Firerose filed hers, obtained by ET, alleging that the country singer was emotionally, psychologically and verbally abusive towards her.

Firerose alleged that Cyrus engaged in “intentional infliction of emotional distress for his financial abuse” of his estranged wife, and she claims that there was an “intentional delay of [her] long-planned surgery” — the preventative double mastectomy.

Additionally, she accused Cyrus of “interfering in [her] career in the music industry.” According to the docs, Firerose alleges that she was “subjected to [Billy Ray’s] persistent drug use accompanied with the consumption of marijuana, which made [him] unpredictable and volatile” towards her.

Cyrus previously filed to get a temporary restraining order against his wife of seven months, claiming that she has spent $96,986 across 37 unauthorized charges using Cyrus’ business credit card in recent weeks. According to the docs, the charges in question began on May 23, the same day that Cyrus filed for divorce.

“As a result of these fraudulent charges… I am concerned that Ms. Hodges is in possession of other information that she may use to make fraudulent, unauthorized charges to my business and personal credit cards and accounts,” Cyrus wrote in an affidavit. 

In response, Firerose stated that there was “no emergency” and that she has had access to his credit card for years.

The former duo — who first met on the set of Hannah Montana, before becoming musical collaborators — got engaged in August 2022. They tied the knot on Oct. 10, 2023 in Franklin, Tennessee. 

This will mark Cyrus’ third divorce. He was previously married to Cindy Smith (1986-1991) and then Tish Cyrus (1993-2022). They tied the knot in December 1993 and divorced in April 2022 after nearly three decades of marriage.

Billy Ray and Tish share three children — Miley Cyrus, 31, Braison Cyrus, 30, and Noah Cyrus, 24. He also adopted Tish’s children, Brandi, 37, and Trace, 35. Tish is now married to actor Dominic Purcell.
