Overview
- The Davidson County Circuit Court threw out the case on December 5 and granted Billy Ray Cyrus recovery of reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, according to his attorney.
- Arizona resident Jayme Lee claimed she gave birth to Miley Cyrus at age 12 in 1992 and alleged a private adoption agreement with Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus.
- Lee sought supervised DNA maternity and paternity testing, and a judge had previously denied her request for a trial, according to reports.
- Billy Ray Cyrus moved to dismiss in November, calling the allegations “false and absurd” and arguing the lawsuit was intended to harass his family.
- Amended filings tried to draw in other public figures, naming Dolly Parton and subpoenaing Taylor Swift, while Cyrus’s legal team pointed to Tennessee adoption requirements and expired statutes of limitations.
