Tish Cyrus Says She Had ‘Psychological Breakdown’ Before Messy Divorce From Billy Ray Cyrus
HuffPost
The mother of pop star Miley Cyrus admitted that ending her 30-year marriage to the country singer left her wanting to be put in a mental hospital.
Tish Cyrus is opening up about how divorcing her husband of 30 years, Billy Ray Cyrus, took a toll on her mental health.
While appearing on Wednesday’s episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Tish, 56, spoke about her difficult decision to call it quits with the country singer, 62, in the same year her mother died, in 2020.
“It was so crazy because, honestly, my two biggest fears in life were always being alone and my mom passing away,” Tish Cyrus, a manager and producer, said.
Noting that Billy Ray Cyrus was living in Tennessee while she stayed in California, where her superstar daughter Miley Cyrus lives, she said, “I had one month of a complete psychological breakdown. It was the worst thing; it was not good. I just kind of pushed the mom thing under the rug, and then the divorce thing came.”
The former couple went through brief separations in 2010 and 2013, then ended the marriage in 2022.
