The Cyrus family ‘turn on Billy Ray’ as the star brood put aside feud to unite against estranged dad: Noah puts on a brave face after he admitted to calling her sister Miley a ‘skank’ in shocking rant – as singer stands by her mother

Noah Cyrus put on a brave face as she stepped out in Hollywood on Thursday while her sister Miley stood by their mother Tish as the family put aside their feud to unite and ‘turn on’ Billy Ray after his shocking rant was revealed. 

Noah and Miley’s estranged father Billy Ray, 62, called Miley a ‘skank’ and a ‘liar’ in an expletive-filled rant obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com on Wednesday.

Hours after the shocking toxic rant – which also featured the country singer belittling his ex-wife Firerose, 37, and Tish – came to light, Miley shared a photo of herself embracing her mother Tish as an apparent show of support for her other parent.

The Prisoner hitmaker, 31, took to X (formerly Twitter) to uploaded a behind-the-scenes photo of herself and Tish, 57, from a recent Gucci party in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile Noah, 24, waved as she headed to Jimmy Kimmel Live with a friend amid the new family drama. 

It comes after Tish was at the center of shock claims she ‘stole’ her husband Dominic Purcell from her estranged daughter Noah earlier this year. 

Firerose has now also broken her silence after shocking audio of her estranged husband was revealed.

The audio makes for difficult listening as the country singer unleashes a toxic rant – mocking, belittling, and bullying his much younger wife in a relentless and brutal onslaught. 

Taking to her Instagram, Firerose shared a photo of a sign that featured a cryptic quote about spiritual guidance.

‘Give God everything you have and he will give you everything you need,’ it read.

The post came as Billy Ray confirmed in a statement it was his voice in the recording, admitting he was at his ‘wit’s end’ during the verbal assault.

‘Hell yeah I was at my wit’s end,’ he began, before unleashing a furious explanation for his temperament. 

‘As every day went by, I started realizing something was wrong. And that’s before I knew she was a fraud.’

He then went on to make a series of claims about Firerose.

‘I just knew something wasn’t right. That was before I knew she was David Hodges ex-wife. That’s before I knew her parents last name. I had no idea she was arrested for felony residential burglary. 

‘I saw before my very own eyes, everything I thought I knew about her, was a life. She was trying to take over my career, my life and usurp the Cyrus name for own gain.’

Billy Ray finished the statement with: ‘See you in court.’

Firerose claims she continually faced appalling treatment during her seven-month marriage to Miley’s father, and was subjected her to months of ‘extreme verbal, emotional and psychological abuse’. 

The shocking audio captured a confrontation between the pair, with Billy Ray accusing Firerose of making him late to go on stage for a show. 

‘If you had just left it the f**k alone, now I’m really f**king p***ed, once again showing you will not listen,’ he warns her.

‘I don’t know who the f**k you think you are, but you will not listen…this ain’t about nothing this is about you being a selfish f**king b***h.’

Continuing his expletive-laden rant, Billy Ray sneers: ‘I don’ think you’re real smart, I’ve changed my mind on that s**t. What I think you are is a selfish f**king b***h. That’s what you are.’

As she begs him to ‘please stop shouting’, he tells her: ‘This would not be happening if you had just shut your f**king mouth. Look what a f**king mess you’ve made. 

‘What a dumb a** [you are] …’cos you have to know I will not tolerate that s**t. You just f**ked up…f**k you. You know better than that. F**king idiot.’

Further evidence obtained by DailyMail.com shows that the Achy Breaky Heart singer’s vitriol is not limited to Firerose, but extends to several of the significant women in his life.

They include superstar daughter, Miley, whom Billy Ray refers to only as ‘devil.’ 

In other audio heard by DailyMail.com Billy Ray bizarrely speaks of himself in the third person before turning his attention to his daughter, Miley, and uttering the shocking statement: ‘Everyone knows that devil’s a skank.’

He is equally dismissive and derisory of Tish, his former wife of more than 30 years and the mother of three of his biological children – Miley, 31, Braison, 30 and Noah, 24 – whom he also never refers to by name but instead calls, ‘s**t.’

Billy Ray has a son from a previous relationship and adopted Tish’s two children, Brandi, 37, and Trace, 35, when they married.

In one shocking text exchange with his manager and publicist Scott Adkins, viewed by DailyMail.com, Billy Ray says of Tish: ‘She is a liar…a w***e…and a cheat. Complete skank. Scum of the earth. A fraud.’

Comparing her to Lindsay Lohan’s mother, Dina, 61, he texts, she ‘Makes Deanna [sic] Lohan look like Mother Theresa.’ 

Billy Ray’s marriage to Firerose – which came just four months after Tish filed for divorce in 2022, is believed to have strained his relationship with Miley. 

The former child star, who grew up on Disney Channel alongside her father, famously snubbed Billy Ray in her Grammy Awards acceptance speech in February.

Billy Ray first met Firerose in 2010 when he was still married to second wife Tish. 

The Sydney-born musician was born Johanna Scholem before legally changing her name to her current moniker, according to documents seen by DailyMail.com.

She was 22, and Billy Ray was 48 and starring alongside Miley on the Disney Channel hit show, Hannah Montana, at the time. 

They became friends but nothing happened romantically until the country singer reached out to her a decade later and asked her to duet with him on a version of Tanya Tucker’s ‘Delta Dawn.’

He was still married to Tish at the time but told Firerose they were ‘soulmates’ and promised her a romance for the ages.

The pair were married in October 2023 but today all the grand talk of old rings hollow.

Just seven months into the marriage in May, Billy Ray filed for divorce, marking the beginning of an increasingly bitter legal battle, according to filings. 

Firerose claims Billy Ray kicked her out of the marital home on May 23, 2024 – one day before she was due to undergo a preventative double mastectomy having been diagnosed with the BRCA1 gene, a gene placing her at high risk of developing certain forms of cancer, in 2020. She has since postponed her surgery ‘indefinitely.’ 

Earlier this month she filed a motion to retrieve property, claiming her estranged husband has refused to let her return to the home to remove her belongings. 

Documents obtained by DailyMail.com show Firerose had agreed to move out  after his divorce filing and to not return without his permission.

The two later agreed she could come collect the rest of her things on May 29, however those plans fell through because Firerose had been in the process of changing lawyers at the time.

Filings show the pair would go on to attempt to reschedule another suitable date over the following weeks, until July 12, when Firerose was informed she ‘would not be permitted to return’. 

‘The letter cited that wife was not trustworthy and raised complaints husband had with alleged premarital conduct of wife,’ the motion states. 

In his response to the motion, Billy Ray cited a July 11 Page Six report in which Firerose spoke about her previous arrest that saw her spend 60 days in jail. 

‘This arrest was something that Mr. Cyrus was unaware of and because [Firerose] had previously lied and concealed things about her life before Mr. Cyrus, his counsel, began looking further into [her] statements,’ the documents state. 

However, text messages obtained by DailyMail.com appear to contradict those claims, showing the country star had been involved in conversations in which his wife openly referenced the incident. 

A November 2023 group chat conversation with Billy Ray, his wife, and Adkins, shows the three discussing a new song inspired by Firerose’s dark times, including her stint in jail.

In court filings, Firerose claims that Billy Ray isolated her from everyone in her life, save for her AA sponsor with whom she insisted she remained in contact, and, after just seven tortuous months, Billy Ray filed for divorce.

In his divorce petition, Billy Ray cited Firerose’s ‘inappropriate marital conduct’ as cause and sought an annulment due to ‘fraud,’ the nature of which court documents do not detail.

Court documents filed by Firerose in response to Billy Ray’s divorce petition accuse him of being ‘unpredictable and volatile’ due to alleged substance abuse issues.

Billy Ray was quick to respond, returning to court last month with filings claiming that it was Firerose and not him, who was the abusive one in the marriage.

In the documents filed in Franklin, Tennessee, in June, Billy Ray claimed: ‘Defendant’s allegations of abuse were only made to sensationalise her false complaints by using the word ‘abuse.’ 

While the plaintiff would acknowledge that he was certainly vocal, frustrated, and angry with the defendant in May 2024, it is the plaintiff who, in fact, has been abused. Not only verbally and emotionally by the defendant, but also PHYSICALLY abused by the defendant.’

In an attached affidavit Billy Ray’s manager Adkins, stated: ‘During my time representing both Mr. Cyrus and Firerose, I have personally witnessed Firerose speak disrespectfully and acting out of control toward Mr. Cyrus.’ 

Adkins went on to state that on one occasion Billy Ray told him, ‘Scott she is hitting me again.’

Billy Ray also accused his wife of running up $96,986 worth of ‘fraudulent charges’ on his credit cards, claiming that Firerose was never authorised as a signer on his cards or accounts and last month won an injunction preventing her from continuing to use them.

For her part Firerose claimed that she felt ‘unsafe’ with him in their Nashville home. 

She went on to state that she has ‘had to seek psychological treatment from her therapist for emergency sessions on more than one occasion,’ due to the sheer toxicity of her life with the man she once loved.

It comes after Tish was at the center of shock claims she ‘stole’ her husband Dominic Purcell from her estranged daughter Noah earlier this year. 

Tish notably tied the knot with the Prison Break actor, 54, in August 2023. 

However, while some family members, including daughter Miley, were present for her wedding to the Australian actor, Tish’s daughter Noah and son Braison were absent from the nuptials – fueling speculation of a rift at the time. 

And earlier this year the insider made shock claims about what really sparked the fall-out, telling the outlet: ‘Noah was [seeing] Dominic when Tish started pursuing him,’ adding that Tish ‘was aware’ of this when she began to contact the star. 

‘The turmoil between Noah and Tish goes far beyond [what people think]. Noah is very distraught over Tish stealing Dominic from her.’ 

DailyMail.com has reached out to Tish, Dominic and Noah for comment.

Earlier this month, Tish appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast and opened up about her relationship with Purcell, including details about their first date. 

She explained that he had initially reached out to her in 2016 in an Instagram message – which she missed. 

‘I had followed him on Instagram and he DMed me and just said, “Hey Tish, just wanted to [say], I think you’re super cool and… you’re doing such a great job with your family.” [But] I didn’t see it for a year.’ 

However, later in 2017, Tish’s daughter, Brandi, noticed that Purcell had blocked her account. 

‘His ex had seen he hit me up and blocked me from his Instagram. I almost peed my pants because I was like… Why am I blocked? He doesn’t even know I exist, and I’m blocked. We were laughing so hard.’ 

Years later in 2022, following her split from Billy Ray, Tish reached out to Purcell and he quickly responded back. The pair soon went on a date and the next day, told each other ‘I love you.’

The couple eventually said ‘I do’ in August 2023 – but both her daughter Noah and son Braison were not in attendance – and the Us Weekly source has now alleged that the All Falls Down songstress wasn’t actually invited. 

The wedding was held at Miley’s lavish Malibu mansion, and the insider claimed that the Grammy winner had guards stationed outside in case Noah did attempt to show up.

However, Noah kept busy on the big day by spending time with her brother, Braison. She took to Instagram to share moments from their day together, including an excursion to Walmart while sporting a Billy Ray Cyrus shirt. 

At the time, a separate source informed Us Weekly, ‘It’s no secret neither of them approves of Dominic, and that’s created tension with their mom.

‘[Noah has] always been close with Billy Ray… It’s caused a rift between her and Miley,’ the insider continued. 

Tish and the Achy Breaky Heart singer tied the knot in 1993 and remained married until she filed for divorce in April 2022 citing ‘irreconcilable differences’, with their date of separation taking place two years earlier.

The pair had ups and downs throughout the relationship, with the singer filing for divorce in 2010 – which was dropped. Tish also previously filed in 2013 – but that had also been dropped.

The former spouses share five children together: biological kids Miley, Noah, 24, and Braison, 29, as well as Brandi, 36, and Trace, 34, Tish’s daughter and son from a previous marriage, who Billy Ray adopted.

Billy Ray also shares a son, Christopher, 31, with his ex, Kristin Luckey.
