Cheryl Burke claims Billy Ray Cyrus 'donkey kicked' a crew member during Dancing With The Stars rehearsals as his messy divorce from Firerose rages on


Cheryl, 40, alleged that she witnessed Billy Ray, 62, 'physically hurt' the stage manager 'out of nowhere' because he had asked the star to 'get on his mark' back in 2007.

She and Billy Ray both appeared in season four of the show; he and his dance partner, Karina Smirnoff, ended up getting eliminated seventh, while Cheryl and her teammate Ian Ziering were kicked off one episode later. A November 2023 group chat conversation with Billy Ray, his wife, and his manager and publicist Scott Adkins, shows the three discussing a new song inspired by Firerose's dark times, including her stint in jail. Earlier this week, DailyMail.com exclusively obtained an audio tape that featured the country star mocking, belittling, and bullying his much younger wife in a relentless and brutal onslaught.
