A new audio recording of Billy Ray Cyrus is raising eyebrows… as the country star launches a series of insults at his ex-wife, Fire rose.
In a recording obtained by TMZ… Miley Cyrus‘The father criticizes Firerose for making him late to an event, repeatedly calling her an “idiot” and an “imbecile.”
The recording — which sources close to Billy Ray say is heavily edited and does not accurately portray the situation — shows an argument between the now-separated couple in which BRC repeatedly belittles Firerose.
During the speech, Billy Ray accuses Firerose of not listening to him and walking all over him. He then goes on to criticize her for her health issues… listen up, as he appears to call attention to Firerose’s BRCA1 gene mutation and pending double mastectomy surgery.
He adds… “I don’t think you’re very smart. I changed my mind about that s***. What you are is a selfish b****.”
From the looks of it, Firerose tries to calm Billy Ray down and calls him out for calling her names. Billy Ray points the blame back at Firerose, however, saying that the fight wouldn’t be happening if she hadn’t stirred the pot.
It’s unclear from the recording alone what they’re fighting about, but sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the feud escalated over an invitation for Billy Ray to perform with Nicki Minaj at her tour stop in Tennessee.
We’re told Billy Ray and Firerose thought it was all very short notice … with the Disney Channel star later placing the blame on his ex-wife. However, sources close to Billy tell TMZ … Billy’s frustration stemmed from Firerose stopping him from going to the show … with the Australian singer only suggesting they go to the show after it was too late for BRC to take the stage.

Billy Ray then addressed the audio recording, defending his words as he was “lost.”
He continued… “As the days went on, I began to realize something was wrong. And that was before I knew she was a fraud. I just knew something wasn’t right. That was before I knew she was David Hodges’ ex-wife. That was before I knew her parents’ last name. I had no idea she was arrested for residential burglary. I saw before my very eyes, everything I thought I knew about her, was a lie. She was trying to take over my career, my life, and usurp the Cyrus name for her own gain. See you in court.”
Remember, the couple has since split, as Billy Ray filed for cancellation their 7-month marriage in May.
