Cyrus claimed that the charges made him concerned that she may make other “fraudulent, unauthorized charges to my business and personal credit cards and accounts.”
When he filed for divorce, Cyrus listed “irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct” as his reason, per People.
Cyrus is 62. Firerose, whose real name is Johanna Rose Hodges, is 37. The couple was reportedly married for just seven months.
Through her attorneys, Firerose has denied that she made any fraudulent charges, according to People.
“Throughout the divorce proceedings, the parties are to live as per the status quo during the marriage,” her lawyers reportedly argued. “Wife was simply living as she has since October 10, 2023, and Husband has no right to cut her off.”
People did report that Cyrus and Firerose did agree when he field for divorce that she would move out of his home immediately, and that he would provide financial support for her “for 90 days or until the dissolution of the marriage, whichever comes first.”
