Firerose, estranged wife of Billy Ray Cyrus, claims the singer “ambushed” her with a divorce filing a day before her double mastectomy surgery. Accusing him of "extreme verbal, emotional and psychological abuse," Firerose reveals her BRCA1 gene mutation diagnosis, prompting the surgery. Billy Ray's filing cited irreconcilable differences and fraud, leaving Firerose in emotional distress and her home in chaos. Allegations of credit card fraud and discrepancies in promises made during the marriage arose, leading to an emergency motion for a restraining order from Billy Ray. His attorney responded, calling Firerose's claims confusing and suspicious, as she allegedly begged for reconciliation. A handwritten note professing love from Firerose was found upon Billy Ray's return, adding complexity to the contentious divorce proceedings.
