Billy Ray Cyrus has insisted he was at his "wits' end" when he unleashed a tirade of verbal abuse towards Firerose. The 'Achy Breaky Heart' hitmaker has seemingly confirmed leak audio of a row with his estranged wife - who has accused the 62-year-old country star of subjecting her to months of "extreme verbal, emotional and psychological abuse" - is genuine before accusing the Australian singer of being a "fraud". He wrote on his Instagram Story: "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.' "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.
"I saw before my very own eyes, everything I thought I knew about her, was a life. She was trying to take over my career, my life and usurp the Cyrus name for own gain. See you in court.
(sic)" In the audio recording, obtained by DailyMail.com and Us Weekly, Billy Ray branded Firerose "dumb" and "selfish". He ranted: “If you would’ve left it the f*** alone.
If you would’ve left it alone when I told you, it’s done. Now I’m really f****** p*****. You once again showed me you will not listen.
I don’t know who the f*** you think you are but you will not f****** listen. “This ain’t about your BRCA, this ain’t about your surgery, this ain’t about nothing. This is about you being a f******.
