Firerose Alleges She Was Held ‘Prisoner’ on Billy Ray Cyrus’ Farm During Their Marriage
Australian singer Firerose has opened up about her troubled marriage to Billy Ray Cyrus, alleging she was kept isolated on his Tennessee farm.

Australian singer Firerose has opened up about her troubled marriage to Billy Ray Cyrus, alleging that the country star kept her isolated like a prisoner on his Tennessee farm during their brief union. The artist, 37, is speaking out as she prepares to release new music, claiming she is fighting back against what she describes as an aggressive smear campaign following their dramatic split.
Allegations of Isolation and Control
Firerose and Billy Ray Cyrus were engaged for two years before marrying, but their marriage imploded after just ten months, culminating in an ugly public war of words and mutual allegations of abuse. Speaking to reporters, the singer alleged that Cyrus physically, strategically, and emotionally isolated her from everyone who cared about her during their time together.
Describing the living situation, she stated she was not allowed to freely come and go from her own home. She recalled lacking a vehicle and being unable to freely meet friends for coffee, attend church, or record solo music. The restrictions were reportedly imposed so gradually that she initially failed to recognize the extent of the control being exerted over her everyday life.
Response From the Cyrus Camp
A source close to Billy Ray Cyrus strongly denied the claims, characterizing them as a cry for attention designed to ruin the country star's name. The source pointed out that Firerose willingly moved into the property and noted that court documents previously showed the Williamson County Sheriff's Office had to forcefully remove her from the marital home. Furthermore, associates of Cyrus have previously accused the singer of being combative and attempting to sabotage his career opportunities during their marriage.
During their 2024 divorce proceedings, countersuits and affidavits flew from both sides. Cyrus had accused his ex-wife of executing a systematic campaign to isolate him from his family, specifically alleging she accessed his electronic devices to block at least one of his daughters from reaching him. The divorce was officially finalized in August 2024.
Moving Forward and Rebuilding Life
Now living in Los Angeles, Firerose says she has successfully rebuilt her life, reconnecting with old friends and forming new bonds. She is channeling her experiences into her upcoming music, including a new single titled Phoenix, which touches upon the themes of deception and resilience. Reflecting on the past relationship, which began when she was much younger, she stated that nothing in the world could silence her again as she works to reclaim her independent voice and career.
While the former couple's public disputes continue to draw widespread attention, Firerose maintains that speaking out is necessary to challenge narratives she believes are false. Both parties have firmly moved on, with Cyrus pursuing other projects and relationships while the singer focuses entirely on her newly revived musical path and friendships.
