Billy Ray and Firerose Cyrus Finalize Divorce: Details of Settlement Revealed and Claims of Smear Campaign Uncovered Amidst Ongoing Controversy

Billy Ray and Firerose Cyrus's divorce has been officially finalized three months after their acrimonious split.

The Country singer filed for divorce from his Australian wife, who had been married to him for less than a year, citing 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the separation. According to court documents signed on August 5 and obtained by DailyMail, Firerose received no financial settlement from the divorce.

A source informed the DailyMail that Firerose's decision to accept nothing in the settlement was a deliberate choice to expedite the end of the marriage and distance herself from the situation. The divorce terms primarily ensure that both parties retain their original assets from before the marriage.

However, the divorce agreement includes a provision where Billy Ray has consented to forgo any claims to credits or royalties from songs that the couple wrote or published together during their marriage.

Billy Ray filed for divorce on May 22, 2024, shortly before Firerose, 37, was scheduled to undergo a double mastectomy due to her BRCA gene diagnosis. This genetic condition increases her susceptibility to certain cancers. During the divorce process, Billy Ray challenged the validity of Firerose's medical claim by subpoenaing her medical records, which led to a rescheduling of her surgery.

A source stated that if the case had proceeded to trial, Firerose and her legal team would have presented a substantial amount of evidence to demonstrate that Billy Ray's claims were fabricated to improve his public image. It was anticipated that Firerose would have been granted the divorce, but her primary focus was to end the ongoing negative publicity and emotional distress to concentrate on her recovery.

Billy Ray, on the other hand, claimed that Firerose's motivation for marrying him was to gain the Cyrus surname. He noted that she had recently changed her name from Hodges, her previous husband's last name, suggesting that her name change occurred only a few weeks before the divorce.
