Billy Ray Cyrus’ estranged wife, Firerose, alleges domestic abuse against him
Billy Ray Cyrus‘s first interaction with Firerose happened while he was taking a break with his dog on the set of Hannah Montana, the popular Disney Channel series he starred in alongside his daughter Miley Cyrus from 2006 to 2011.
“On that particular day, Firerose emerged from the front door,” the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer shared with People. “There was this almost instant recognition. I thought, ‘This girl is a star.'”
Although Cyrus was unaware of Firerose’s identity at the time, his future fiancée was well aware of him. “Growing up in Australia, my love for music always took precedence,” she explained. “I’ve been familiar with his music for as long as I can remember.”
While she was at the audition, Cyrus kindly offered to introduce Firerose to the Hannah Montana crew and invited her to observe the show’s rehearsal.
“She got to meet many of the cast members, as well as the producers and writers,” he recalled. “And, in many ways, we started to form a friendship.”
