Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose divorce after scandalous leaks

A British tabloid reports that Billy Ray Cyrus and the singer Firerose are officially no longer married. The divorce proceedings were finalized shortly after scandalous recordings were leaked, in which the musician called his then-wife a "f***ing b*tch."

After forty years on stage, Billy Ray Cyrus has become a country icon in the United States. However, in light of the recent scandals involving the musician, his fan base will significantly decrease. In mid-June, TMZ reported that the 62-year-old filed for divorce - just seven months after marrying a singer nearly three decades younger, going by the pseudonym Firerose. In the documents, he cited "irreconcilable differences" and "marital misconduct," as well as "fraud," the details of which are unknown. Soon, People magazine reported that Firerose accused Miley Cyrus' father of domestic violence and substance abuse. It turned out that this was just the beginning of the divorce scandal.

Over several weeks, Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose regularly exchanged public accusations, signalling a turbulent court battle. The pivotal moment of the scandal was the leak of a recording featuring the 62-year-old musician. The star of the "Hannah Montana" series said regarding his famous daughter that "everyone knows that devil’s a s*ank". It was also revealed how he addressed his wife.

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 - he shouted in the recording.

Less than two weeks after the scandalous material leaked, the Daily Mail reported that Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose are officially divorced. According to the tabloid's findings, the Australian singer will not receive a penny from her ex-husband. The 35-year-old reportedly gave up the fight for the division of property to finalize the divorce as quickly as possible. It is worth noting that, according to the terms of the divorce agreement shared by the Daily Mail, the 62-year-old agreed to forgo royalties for songs that the couple wrote or published before and during their relationship.
