The country star took to Instagram to address the controversial audio clip of his and Firerose’s argument. "Hell yeah, I was at my wit's [sic] end. As every day went by, I started realizing something was wrong. And that’s before I knew she was a fraud,” he wrote in his Instagram story.  

He claimed that everything he knew about her was a lie, alleging that her real name was Johanna Rose Hodges, who was married to David Hodges. The singer also claimed she "was trying to take over my career, my life and usurp the Cyrus name for her own gain.”

In the leaked audio clip, the singer kept saying, “Shut the f--- up” multiple times. The couple argued over her planned mastectomy to remove a breast cancer gene. "This ain’t about your BRCA, this ain’t about your surgery, this ain’t about nothing," he continued. "This is about you being a f---ing selfish bitch.”

Billy Ray Cyrus’s attorney's statement about the case

In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, the country singer’s attorneys claim that Firerose’s accusation against him is her last ditch effort to squeeze money from him. The statement also claimed that Cyrus admitted to being vocally frustrated and angry with Ms Hodges during their short-lived marriage. 

His frustration grew with every new thing he discovered about Firerose. The team also claimed that Firerose made the audio recording without his consent. “Of course, she was intentionally on her best behavior since she knew the recording was being made,” the statement added.
