“Oh 😕 who else totally did not have this one on their 2025 bingo card?” one of them commented.
“And on this holy day, all I can say is GIRL….YOU NEED JESUS. 😬,” warned someone else.
A third advised Elizabeth: “Oh honey you need to value yourself more.”
“Yikes. Did she not listen to the ab*sive phone calls? He left his ex? How about the way he treats his children?” wrote another concerned fan, while a separate user commented, “Run Forrest, run….”

Billy Ray was married to Leticia “Tish” Cyrus-Purcell for 28 years before they divorced in April 2022. They share five children: Miley, Braison, and Noah, whom they had together, and Brandi and Trace, whom Tish brought from her previous relationship and Billy Ray later adopted.
Billy Ray also shares a son, Christopher Cody, with Kristen Luckey.
In August 2022, he became engaged to Australian singer Firerose. Their divorce was finalized in August 2024.
In court documents, the 37-year-old singer reportedly accused the 63-year-old musician of “persistent” substance use, which she claims made him “unpredictable and volatile,” as well as of verbal and psychological domestic violence.

Firerose also claimed that Billy Ray put her in an “emotional and psychological prison” in the days prior to her preventative double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery by launching “verbal assaults” against her.
“When Wife would attempt to voice certain concerns, Husband would often call her a ‘selfish fu**ing b*tch’ and continually alleged that she was using him,” the legal documents read, as per People magazine.
Firerose said she left their home on May 23, 2023, the day before her scheduled surgery and the day Billy Ray filed for divorce.

Billy Ray alleged that Firerose was married before tying the knot with him and said he would not have married her if he had known. He also accused her of trying to deliberately isolate him from his family.
In June 2024, he filed an emergency motion in Tennessee court, seeking a temporary restraining order against his former partner and claiming she had made “unauthorized” use of his credit cards.
The Grammy winner recently made headlines after his son, Trace Cyrus, said he “barely recognized” him following his performance at the Liberty Inauguration Ball and expressed concern for his father’s health.

“Since my earliest memories, all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever. I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life,” Trace wrote on social media.
“Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now. It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you.”
He continued: “Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away. Noah desperately has wanted you to be a part of her life and you haven’t even been there for her. That’s your baby girl. She deserves better.
“You’re not healthy Dad & everyone is noticing it. Just like I showed up for you at mamaws funeral when you didn’t expect me to, I’m still here right now.”

Billy Ray responded by sharing a clip of the music video for his 2009 song Somebody Said a Prayer, which featured Trace.
“Sunday callin,” he captioned the footage.
“Giving thanks for the California Rain. Praying for the brokenhearted and their pain. Praying for my family. For my children … sons and daughters…and their mother. Let this moment be the start of healing ❤️🩹 for us all. ‘The past does not equal the future.’ Amen. 🙏🏼”

Oh let the poor woman have a fling for pity's sake. She suffered enough. If she wants to get her bad boy phase out, let her. If she takes damage, she was warned and has nobody but herself to blame.
