Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose finalize divorce after 7-month marriage
Global News
During the three months after Billy Ray Cyrus filed to divorce Firerose, the ex-couple said they were both victims of domestic abuse and mistreatment.
The dramatic divorce between Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose has been officially finalized, three months after the singers separated and accused each other of abuse.
Cyrus’s lawyers said a settlement was reached on Friday at a mediation session to end their seven-month marriage.
In a statement shared Monday, his lawyers said the Achy Breaky Heart singer is eager “to put this nightmare behind him.”
“I’m just very relieved… and giving thanks today to breathe a sigh of relief,” Cyrus, 62, said in the statement. “This has been absolutely the most crazy insane scam I have ever heard of. Let alone the fact I’m right in the center and basically the target of the scheme.”
“It’s unfortunate…it played out this way…not only was it a web of lies that put me in physical danger….It was a matter of heart,” he continued. “Love is blind…that’s for sure.”
In their statement, Cyrus’s lawyers accused Firerose (former name Johanna Rose Hodges) of legally changing her last name to Cyrus in the weeks ahead of their divorce mediation.
“Mr. Cyrus feels that this validates his assertion that his ex-wife’s sole impetus for marrying him was to obtain his last name,” the statement reads.
Firerose, 36, has not commented publicly on the divorce finalization.
'Reason, cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason, must furnish all the materials for our future support and defence,' the Oscar-winning actor said.
