Tish Cyrus is opening up about how divorcing her husband of 30 years, Billy Ray Cyrus, took a toll on her mental health.

While appearing on Wednesdays episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Tish, 56, spoke about her difficult decision to call it quits with the country singer, 62, in the same year her mother died, in 2020.

It was so crazy because, honestly, my two biggest fears in life were always being alone and my mom passing away, Tish Cyrus, a manager and producer, said.

Noting that Billy Ray Cyrus was living in Tennessee while she stayed in California, where her superstar daughter Miley Cyrus lives, she said, I had one month of a complete psychological breakdown. It was the worst thing; it was not good. I just kind of pushed the mom thing under the rug, and then the divorce thing came.

The former couple went through brief separations in 2010 and 2013, then ended the marriage in 2022.

She added: I could not eat. I could not sleep. I could not stop crying. I literally weighed, like, 130. I dont have my mom, and then I dont have my husband thats been my husband for 30 years. Like, holy crap, Im scared.

Tish Cyrus said that during the rocky time she reached out to celebrity psychiatrist Daniel Amen to ask him to please put me in a mental hospital but that he advised against it, which she said ultimately was for the better.
