“For both of us to hear the preacher say, ‘Billy Ray and Firerose Cyrus…
I now pronounce you husband and wife’ that was the sacred moment our new forever began.
Long Live Love!”
Just months later, they would be entwined in a messy divorce.
Firerose was just coming out of an audition and approached him.
Billy Ray invited her on set for introductions, and the two kept in touch.
The fact that the marriage only lasted seven months is just the tip of the melting, messy iceberg.
Their divorce has been anything but amicable.
If granted, an annulment would mean that, legally, the marriage never happened.
The reason: to stop her from using his credit cards.
The charges totaled $96,986, with $70,665 to pay for attorneys hired by Firerose.
He requested that she return everything she charged and have the credit card refunded.
On June 14, the native Australian submitted her own counter-divorce paperwork to the Tennessee courts.
He filed an amendment on June 17 to his original divorce petition.
(Firerose’s legal name is Johanna Rosie Hodges.)
His initial paperwork stated the marriage was fraudulent but offered no specifics.
In the new documents, he reveals that Firerose completely misrepresented herself.
She said she had never been married before, but she had.
Cyrus discovered that Hodges wasn’t her birth name but her first husband’s surname.
After seven months of marriage and multiple court filings and public statements, the divorce keeps getting messier.
… not only verbally and emotionally … but also physically abused."
Cyrus also claimed Firerose threatened him.
It looks as if things will get worse before the divorce is finalized between the two.
