Billy Ray Cyrus is firing back.
The country music singer is claiming his estranged wife, Firerose, verbally, emotionally and physically abused him.
The news comes days after Firerose accused Cyrus of “extreme verbal, emotional and psychological abuse.” Those claims come days after news broke that Cyrus filed a motion in a Tennessee court seeking an emergency temporary restraining order against his wife, Firerose.
Cyrus, 62, denied Firerose’s claims while reportedly admitting that he was “certainly vocal, frustrated and angry.” However, in court filings, he reportedly claimed that “it is the Plaintiff who, in fact, has been abused.”
He also disputed Firerose’s claims of abuse by saying if true it would be “mindboggling to try and explain why, upon vacating (Billy Ray’s) premarital residence, (Firerose) would leave (Billy Ray) a handwritten note and then send him a text message stating in her word, ‘I am sorry’ and ‘please give me a chance to make this right. I can explain everything but I need you on my side.’”
Firerose, again, denied Cyrus’ claims.
“The only individuals backing his false claims are those on his payroll, whose credibility is questionable,” her rep told InTouch.
