Billy Ray Cyrus is facing intense backlash after a leaked audio recording revealed his abusive language towards his estranged wife, Firerose, and his popstar daughter, Miley Cyrus.
The scandalous recording, obtained by the Daily Mail, has thrown the country singer into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, with reports indicating that his relationship with his daughter is now irrevocably damaged.
In the audio, Billy Ray, 62, is heard hurling insults at Firerose, whom he married after his divorce from Tish Cyrus. His remarks included derogatory comments such as calling her “dumb” and “selfish.”
The vitriol did not stop there; Billy Ray also directed harsh words towards his first wife, Tish, and his daughter, Miley.
A source close to Miley Cyrus revealed the depth of the rift between father and daughter. “There is no excuse, ever, for a father to call his daughter a skank,” the source told the outlet.
“Any inkling of respect that Miley had for her father is gone. He is dead to her.”
This shocking revelation follows Miley’s decision to distance herself from Billy Ray after his 2022 divorce from Tish, his wife of 28 years.
The strain in their relationship had already been evident, but the audio leak has exacerbated the situation. “Honestly, Miley is not surprised that these words came out of his mouth,” remarked an insider. “Miley is mad, sad and also not giving a thing, all the emotions are there.”
Further insights suggest that Miley is determined to move forward without regard for her father’s apologies.
“Miley is over caring about what Billy Ray has to say about her, her mom, or her siblings,” another source stated. “She is as independent of a woman as possible, and she refuses to let her dad, or any man, break her heart.”

Amid the fallout, a third insider revealed that Billy Ray is attempting to mitigate the damage by claiming his offensive remarks were taken out of context.
However, Miley is reportedly not engaging with these attempts at reconciliation. “Billy is trying to say that what he said about Miley, calling her a skank, was taken out of context,” the source said.
“But Miley is not even entertaining any of this. She won’t be accepting any apologies.”
The leaked audio has ignited a firestorm, highlighting the intense personal conflicts within the Cyrus family and raising questions about the impact of public scrutiny on private matters.
