Billy Ray Cyrus' ex-wife, Firerose, has opened up about their troubled marriage. The 37-year-old, who married Billy in 2023 before their marriage ended less than a year later, alleged that the country singer completely cut her off from her loved ones.
In an interview with Page Six, Firerose alleged that the 65-year-old singer kept her in a "farm prison" in Tennessee. She alleged that he "physically, strategically, and emotionally completely isolated [me] from everyone who cared about me."
She explained, "It's such a mind warp while you're going through it … everything that you've survived is then being put on you. It's classic narcissistic abuse." Adding, "I call it farm prison because that's what it was for me. I was for years not allowed to freely come and go from my own home."
A few years ago, Firerose said she was afraid to talk during her marriage and even needed Billy's permission to send text messages. She said, "There were all these rules that I had to follow. It [happened] gradually … this is what your life is going to be. I didn't have a car, and I wasn't allowed to just meet friends for coffee, just basic things, go to church, or record music, solo music."
When asked about the relationship, Cyrus' ex-wife reflected on being 22 when she met the singer, who was more than twice her age. She alleged that he began grooming her and emphasized that she could only speak from her own experience. Firerose and Billy first met in 2007 on the set of Disney Channel's Hannah Montana. While she was not filming with him or his daughter, Miley, she was auditioning for another project nearby. At that time, the singer was married to Tish Cyrus.
