Overview
- The Davidson County Circuit Court dismissed the case on December 5 with prejudice, closing the matter permanently and awarding Billy Ray Cyrus recovery of reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
- Plaintiff Jayme Lee alleged she gave birth to Miley Cyrus at age 12 and described a supposed private adoption agreement that included naming rights and work as a nanny and piano teacher.
- A judge previously denied Lee’s request for a trial in October after she sought supervised DNA maternity and paternity testing of Miley and her parents.
- Billy Ray Cyrus moved to dismiss all claims on November 20 and filed a December 1 response opposing the amended complaint, calling the allegations false, absurd, and intended to harass his family.
- With the dismissal, Lee cannot refile the same claims, and the amount of recoverable legal fees will be determined through a separate process.
