Firerose releases new music amid divorce allegations from Billy Ray Cyrus
Singer Firerose has released a new single titled ‘Phoenix’ following her highly publicized divorce from country star Billy Ray Cyrus. The song, accompanied by a music video directed by Chris Applebaum, addresses themes of survival, trauma, and reclaiming one's voice.
Firerose has made allegations regarding her marriage to Cyrus, which lasted seven months before they finalized their divorce in August 2024. She claims Cyrus isolated her on his Tennessee property, describing the environment as a ‘farm prison’ where she lacked basic freedoms, such as driving or meeting friends. She alleges the isolation was a strategic effort to separate her from her support systems.
During divorce proceedings, Cyrus countered these claims by accusing Firerose of a campaign to isolate him from his family and accessing his electronic devices. Cyrus has since reconciled with his children, including Miley Cyrus, who recently spoke about prioritizing family following the split.
