Billy Ray Cyrus is prepared for a legal battle. After an audio recording of the Disney Channel alum allegedly in a heated argument with his estranged wife Firerose (real name: Johanna Rosie Hodges ), with whom he is currently in the process of divorcing, was released, he seemingly responded to the clip in a social media statement. “Hell yeah I was at my wit’s end,” Billy Ray wrote in an Instagram Story July 24.
“As every day went by, I started realizing something was wrong.” The 62-year-old—who shares children Brandi Cyrus , 37, Trace Cyrus , 35, Miley Cyrus , 31, Braison Cyrus , 30, and Noah Cyrus , 24 with ex Tish Cyrus as well as son Christopher Cody Cyrus , 32, with ex Kristin Luckey —also went on to seemingly throw accusations toward Firerose. “And that’s before I realized she was a fraud,” he continued.
“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.
” The Hannah Montana actor ’s lengthy response concluded with the country singer noting once again that he felt deceived by his estranged wife, which he had previously noted in his divorce filings. “I saw before my very own eyes,” Billy Ray continued. “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.” Later, Rose Palermo and Jason Talley of Cheatham Palermo and Garrett, lawyers for Billy Ra.
