Refusing to hold back any details about her split from Billy Ray Cyrus, Firerose claimed the Achy Breaky Heart hitmaker filed for divorce just one day before her double mastectomy.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Firerose stated that she was diagnosed as a carrier of the BRCA1 gene mutation in early 2020. This meant she had an increased likelihood of developing breast cancer.
In March, Firerose’s doctors highly recommended she undergo a double mastectomy and reconstruction after an MRI scan. She had her first procedure scheduled for May 24.
Firerose recalled that things between her and Billy Ray Cyrus became increasingly chaotic. She said her now estranged husband would “continuously launch verbal assaults” at her. He did this while also threatening to kick her out of their home and file for divorce.
Firerose further claimed that she “walked on eggshells” around Cyrus as he placed her “into an emotional and psychological prison.”
“When Wife would attempt to voice certain concerns, Husband would often call her a ‘selfish f—ing bitch’ and continually alleged that she was using him,” the court document reads. “With Wife’s major surgery date looming, she was reasonably afraid to leave or seek any type of help because she feared that Husband would interfere with her surgery or her lengthy recovery at home.”
Firerose further alleged she was “ambushed” with the divorce papers on May 23. She then accused Billy Ray’s brother and sister-in-law of banging on her bedroom door for three-and-a-half hours. This was in an attempt to get her to leave the house she and the musician share.
Firerose States Billy Ray Cyrus Paid For Her Health Insurance, ‘Was Prepared’ to Pay For Any Surgery Expenses Not Covered
Also in the court documents, Firerose stated that Billy Ray Cyrus had paid for her insurance right after their Oct. 2023 wedding.
She further pointed out that Cyrus “was prepared” to pay for any surgery expenses that weren’t covered with the insurance.
“Wife relied on Husband’s promises to pay for her surgery, and Husband has now repudiated that promise,” the documents read. “On the day Wife was set to get her surgery, she was instead searching for a place to live and under a significant amount of emotional distress.”
Firerose further accused Billy Cyrus of being “extremely” verbally, emotionally, and psychologically abusive. She alleged her soon-to-be ex has substance abuse issues. These made him “unpredictable and volatile” during their marriage.
Billy Ray Cyrus quietly filed for divorce from Firerose last month. He filed a restraining order against her and accused her of racking up nearly $100,000 on his credit card. The couple married in Oct. 2023.
