Firerose is sharing her experience.
The Australian singer—who married Billy Ray Cyrus in October 2023 before they split seven months later—accused the “Achy Breaky Heart” hitmaker of “narcissistic abuse” over a year after finalizing their divorce.
“In your 20s you’ll meet a 49-year-old man who convinces you you’re his soulmate…” Firerose wrote over a video posted to Instagram Dec. 4 before footage of Billy Ray and her together appeared. “It is very important you don’t believe him.”
The 34-year-old, real name: Johanna Rosie Hodges, also alluded to the abuse she alleges she was subject to during their relationship.
“If you’ve survived narcissistic abuse, you’re not alone,” she wrote. “It’s chilling how similar survivors experiences really are. Behind closed doors, it’s always the same playbook. Control, isolation, rage, manipulation, walking on eggshells, cognitive dissonance, feeling like the only person in the world that can be experiencing what you are.”
E! News has reached out to Billy Ray’s rep but has not received a comment.
