Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife of seventeen years Tish filed for divorce in Tennessee Court on October 26th. The couple, who have five children including Miley Cyrus, cite irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce.

As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family. We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
In the divorce papers, Billy Ray is seeking shared custody of their three minor children. Additionally, Billy Ray is seeking “equitable distribution of the marital estate” and for the court to approve a “parenting plan” that would need to be signed by both Tish and Billy Ray.

Yesterday, the family of Gabriela Cedillo, filed a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures for an injury that she sustained on the set during a stunt that went wrong.
The paper work filed by Cedillo’s attorney Todd A. Smith, a Chicago car accident lawyer with Power Rogers and Smith, described that the accident involved a broken towing cable snapping through the car Cedillo was driving and hitting her in the head. On Tuesday Smth said that Cedillo is “unable to speak and is paralyzed on her left side… It looks like she has vision loss in the left eye, which is sewn shut because there’s a paralysis associated with that and they don’t want her eye to dry out.”
Paramount, which did not directly respond to the lawsuit stated that their “thoughts, prayers and best wishes are with Gabriela, her family and loved ones. The production will continue to provide all the help we can to Gabriela and her family during this difficult time.”
Smith is seeking money in excess of $50,000 for Cedillo.
