She claimed the weeks leading up to her preventative double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery, recommended by her doctor in March, were “chaos.”

The artist, who carries the BRCA1 gene mutation, also claimed that her husband “constantly made verbal attacks on her” and “placed her in an emotional and psychological prison.”

“When the woman tried to express certain concerns, the man would often call her a ‘selfish f**king b**ch’ and continually claim that she was using him,” the complaint read.

Cyrus’ lawyers denied Firerose’s claims against DailyMail.com.

“We regret that Ms. Hodges has chosen to litigate this seven-month marriage in the press and that Mr. Cyrus has no choice but to set the record straight,” his lawyers said in a statement. “The allegations raised by Ms. Hodges in her answer and counter-complaint are especially confusing and suspicious because of their veracity, as she begged Mr. Cyrus to forgive her and take her back just two days after he entered his plea to his to dissolve the marriage.’

Cyrus’ representatives further claimed that when ‘Mr. Cyrus returned to his home two days after Mrs. Hodges was required by a court order to leave his home of more than 25 years and allowed him to return. He discovered a handwritten note from Mrs. Hodges expressing her love and wanting to be with Mr. . Cyrus.’
