Billy Ray Cyrus seemingly bashed exes Tish Cyrus and Firerose Cyrus in shocking leaked audio clips and texts obtained by Page Six Wednesday.
In one of the jaw-dropping recordings, the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer, 62, appears to lash out at his second wife, Tish – with whom he shares three children, including music superstar Miley Cyrus – for having two children before they got married in 1993.
“The other two children that were there, she was impregnated by two different men, and had those two children before she met Billy Ray,” Billy Ray says, speaking of himself in the third person.
“Just think if I said that. The truth … Brandi [Cyrus], Trace [Cyrus],” he adds before concluding, “Everyone knows devil’s a skank.”
It seems the “devil” and “skank” he was referring to was Tish – as we also obtained a copy of a text message Billy Ray sent manager Scott Adkins, in which he used similar verbiage to slam his ex-wife.
“Somebody went on a podcast … to promote their podcast … and came off like ‘Sorry I’m Drunk’ and accidentally told the TRUTH for a change,” he wrote.
“It’s in her own words. She is a liar … she is a whore … and a cheat. Complete Skank. Scum of the earth. A fraud. Makes Deanna [sic] Lohan look like Mother Theresa [sic].”
Nearly two years after Tish divorced Billy Ray in April 2022, the music manager appeared on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast and confessed she had a psychological breakdown when her marriage fell apart.
“[Our marriage] had not been in a good place for a long time, and I think I did stay so long out of fear — literal fear — of being alone,” Tish, 57, said during an episode released in February.
“[I was just] looking at myself and going, ‘What in the heck are you doing?’ And so I literally just had made that firm decision and was like, ‘I’m moving on with my life.’”
Page Six has reached out to reps for Billy Ray and Tish for comment but did not immediately hear back.
In a separate audio clip of Billy Ray that Page Six obtained, he could be heard arguing with Firerose, 35, about running late and calls her an “idiot.”
“Get the f–k out of here,” he says. “I’m in no place to go do a show. I had to go when I was ready to go.”
Billy Ray then tells the “Plans” singer, “If you would’ve just shut the f–k up. … If you would’ve just left it the f–k alone. … Now I’m really f–king pissed.”
When Firerose begins to apologize, the “She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore” singer continues to berate her, saying she will not “f–king listen.”
“This ain’t about your surgery. This ain’t about nothing. This is about you being a f–king selfish bitch,” he adds. “I don’t think you’re real smart. I’ve changed my damn mind on that s–t.”
Billy Ray then reiterates, “What you are is a selfish f–king bitch” before accusing Firerose of “walking all over” him.
When the “Time” singer calls him out for “screaming” at her, he replies, “This would not be happening if you were to just shut your f–king mouth. … I will not tolerate that s–t. You just f–ked up.”
It’s unclear when the leaked audio was recorded, but Billy Ray filed for divorce from Firerose in June after less than a year of marriage.
Since then, the Australian singer has publicly accused the “volatile” country crooner of domestic abuse. She claimed in court docs filed in June that Billy Ray exposed her to “extreme verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse” as a result of his alleged “persistent drug use.”
Billy Ray vehemently denied those allegations via a separate filing, however, claiming Firerose was the one who abused him. He did admit to becoming “vocal, frustrated and angry” in a May 2024 argument.
Firerose further detailed the alleged abuse she experience at the hands of her estranged husband in an exclusive interview with Page Six.
“Billy had very strict rules,” she told us in June. “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.”
In response to recent headlines and allegations made by his ex, Billy Ray spoke out on social media.
“Hell yeah I was at my wit’s end. As every day went by, I started realizing something was wrong. And that’s before I knew she was a fraud,” he wrote in a post shared via Instagram Story on Wednesday.
“I just knew something wasn’t right. That was before I knew she was David Hodges ex-wife. That’s before I knew her parents last name. I had no idea she was arrested for felony residential burglary.”
He continued, “I saw before my very own eyes, 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 own gain. See you in court.”
Page Six has reached out to Firerose’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back. The Daily Mail was first to report the news of Billy Ray’s leaked audio clips.
