BILLY Ray Cyrus has allegedly made his feelings about his ex Firerose and his daughter Miley clear after he supposedly fired insults at them in a scathing audio.
The tape obtained by The U.S. Sun appeared to record the country singer bashing his estranged ex during a heated argument.
In the recording first obtained by the Daily Mail, a voice sounding like Billy Ray, 62, went on a toxic rant seemingly aimed at Firerose, 37, after appearing to accuse her of making him late to a performance.
He directed many expletives at his former lover, one being calling her a selfish f***ing b***h, and talked down to Firerose while blaming her for their tardiness.
“If you had just left it the f**k alone, now I’m really f***ing p***ed, once again showing you will not listen,” the voice ranted.
Billy Ray’s alleged outburst continued with him telling his ex-wife, “I don’t think you’re real smart, I’ve changed my mind on that s**t. What I think you are is a selfish f***ing b***h. That’s what you are.”
A voice believed to be Firerose is heard begging Billy Ray to stop yelling, but he fires back, “This would not be happening if you had just shut your f***ing mouth. Look what a f**king mess you’ve made.
“What a dumb ass [you are] …’cos you have to know I will not tolerate that s**t. You just f***ed up…f**k you. You know better than that. F***ing idiot.”
BILLY RAY’S HARSH WORDS
In another audio obtained by The U.S. Sun, the Achy Breaky Heart singer seemingly mentioned his feud with his daughter Miley, 31, while strangely speaking of himself in the third person.
“Everyone knows that devil’s a skank,” said the Old Town Road singer, who, according to a source, was referring to Miley, with whom he’s had a strained bond since his relationship with Firerose began.
In a text exchange in February with his manager and publicist, Scott Adkin, Billy Ray also took aim at his ex, Tish, 57.
A screenshot of their conversation, obtained by The U.S. Sun, showed the country artist saying of Tish, “She is a liar…a w***e…and a cheat. Complete skank. Scum of the earth. A fraud.”

He also compared Tish to Lindsay Lohan’s mother, or “momager,” Dina, who made headlines over several legal troubles over the years.
Billy Ray said of his ex-wife that she “Makes Deanna [sic] Lohan look like Mother Theresa.”
Billy Ray’s attorney, Rose Palermo, responded to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
The attorney said that Firerose is trying to “litigate her case in the press.”
The lawyer also cited court filings, in which Billy Ray claimed that he was “vocally frustrated” with Firerose during their marriage after he uncovered her “true motives for marrying him.”
The actor’s tirade comes less than a year after he and Firerose—previously known as Johanna Rosie Hodges before legally changing her name—tied the knot in October 2023.
