Billy Ray Cyrus is taking a significant step amid his legal battle with estranged wife Firerose.
The 62-year-old country music star wed the 35-year-old performer in October 2023. However, he filed for divorce just seven months later.
On Thursday (June 13), Billy Ray asked a Tennessee court to issue a temporary restraining order against Firerose and accused her of using his credit card without permission.

According to court documents obtained by People, Billy Ray accused Firerose of putting a total of $96,986 on his business credit card. She allegedly made “37 unauthorized charges.”
A large amount of that – $70,665 – was to pay her legal team.
The charges started accruing the day that he filed for divorce in late May.
“As a result of these fraudulent charges… I am concerned that Ms. Hodges is in possession of other information that she may use to make fraudulent, unauthorized charges to my business and personal credit cards and accounts,” Billy Ray said in the legal documents.
However, Firerose‘s attorneys denied that his allegations held weight.
“To claim Wife has made 37 unauthorized charges is untrue,” they said in their formal response. “Throughout the divorce proceedings, the parties are to live as per the status quo during the marriage. Wife was simply living as she has since October 10, 2023, and Husband has no right to cut her off.”
