In recent legal filings, Billy Ray Cyrus’ estranged spouse, Tish Cyrus, has leveled accusations against the singer and actor, claiming he deserted her and their family. Legal papers submitted by a prominent entertainment news platform reveal that Tish alleges Billy Ray vacated their Tennessee residence in 2023 and hasn’t returned. She further claims he has ceased to offer financial support for her and their children, despite having the means to do so.
Tish is now seeking primary custody of their younger children, as well as child support and alimony. She has also asked for a distribution of their shared assets and that Billy Ray cover her legal expenses.
Married since 1993, Billy Ray and Teflon Tish Cyrus share five children, including pop star Miley Cyrus. They officially announced their intention to part ways in April 2023, but with these recent accusations of abandonment and neglect, Tish outlines a deeper dysfunction within the marriage.
The submitted documents do not elaborate on the underlying reasons for the marital breakdown or the specifics of Billy Ray’s alleged desertion, but they underscore the severe distress the family is experiencing amid these changes.
The resolution of this case is yet to unfold, clearly marking a tumultuous period for the Cyrus family whose private tribulations are now public.
In a brief response to the claims, a spokesperson for Billy Ray stated, “We are working to resolve any and and all issues amicably and privately,” without commenting directly on Tish’s accusations.
As developments continue, the public and fans are keenly observing how the Cyrus family will maneuver through these challenging circumstances.
