{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}On Wednesday, Fox News Digital obtained shocking audio between Cyrus and his estranged wife, where the country crooner is heard berating his Australian ex and using profane language.
"This week has been monumental in many ways and I'm so appreciative and thankful for the outpouring of support."
"Hell yeah I was at my wit's end. As every day went by, I started realizing something was wrong. And that’s before I knew she was a fraud. I just knew something wasn’t right. That was before I knew she was David Hodges ex-wife," he said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"That’s before I knew her parents last name. I had no idea she was arrested for felony residential burglary. I saw before my very own eyes, everything I thought I knew about her, was a lie. She was trying to take over my career, my life and usurp the Cyrus name for her own gain."
