Billy Ray Cyrus Seeks $7,564.13 in Legal Fees After Dismissal of Suit Claiming to Be Miley’s Mom

The case was dismissed on Dec. 5 with the fee request still awaiting a court decision.

Overview

  • On Dec. 10, Cyrus asked a judge to order plaintiff Jayme Lee to reimburse $7,564.13 in attorney fees, according to court filings obtained by Us Weekly.
  • The fee petition comes after a judge threw out Lee’s May lawsuit that sought legal recognition as Miley Cyrus’s mother and monetary damages.
  • Lee’s filings alleged a private adoption agreement with Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus and requested supervised DNA testing of Miley and her parents.
  • On Nov. 11, Billy Ray’s legal response labeled the allegations “false and absurd,” asserting he and Tish are Miley’s biological parents.
  • The court has not ruled on the fee request, and reports indicate Lee has not responded to the motion.
