In the clip, the person believed to be Cyrus can be heard getting frustrated about having 'needed to leave two hours ago'.
While Firerose tries to reassure him, he swears at her and says he's not in a 'place' to 'go do a show'.
Firerose asks her husband to 'please stop screaming at [her]', but he continues: "If you had just left it the f**k alone, if you had left it alone when I told you it's done. Now I'm really f**king p***ed. You once again showed me, you will not listen.
"I don't know who the f**k you think you are, but you will not f**king listen… this ain't about you, this ain't about your surgery, this ain't about nothing. This is about you being a selfish f**king b***h.

"I don' think you're real smart, I've changed my damn mind on that s**t. What you are is a selfish f**king b***h."
Despite Firerose responding she's 'not,' Cyrus carries on, saying she 'cannot continue to walk all over [him] and think [he's] going to go out in public with her dumb a**' and have her do this s**t anywhere [she] wants in front of whoever'.
Firerose asks if he's 'referring to [him] screaming at her right now', and Cyrus says 'this would not be happening if [she] were to just shut [her] f**king mouth'.
Following the audio being leaked, Firerose has spoken out, thanking fans for their support.

"This week has been monumental in many ways and I'm so appreciative and thankful for the outpouring of support," she wrote in a post on her Instagram Story.
"There are so many great experts, books & resources on healing.
"I promise there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep educating yourself."
Cyrus has also released a statement following the audio, seemingly acknowledging it is him in the clip and writing on Instagram: "Hell yeah I was at my wit's end. As every day went by, I started realizing something was wrong. And that's before I knew she was a fraud.

"I just knew something wasn't right. That was before I knew she was David Hodges ex-wife. That's before I knew her parents last name. I had no idea she was arrested for felony residential burglary.
"I saw before my every own eyes, everything I thought I knew about her, was a lie.
"She was trying to take over my career, my life and unsurp the Cyrus name for her own gain. See you in court."

Cyrus' legal representatives Rose Palermo and Jason Talley, of Cheatham Palermo and Garrett, added in a statement to People they believe the audio recording being leaked is 'an apparent last-ditch effort to squeeze money out of Mr. Cyrus'.
They stated: "Mr. Cyrus previously admitted in a court filing that he had been very vocally frustrated and angry with Ms. Hodges during their seven-month marriage as he began to uncover more and more of Ms. Hodges' true motives for marrying him.
"With regards to this recording, Ms. Hodges is the person who made the recording without telling Mr. Cyrus that she was recording him. Of course, she was intentionally on her best behavior since she knew the recording was being made."
Cyrus filed for divorce just seven months after the pair got married.
Both Cyrus and Firerose filed paperwork accusing the other of abuse, with Firerose citing 'extreme verbal, emotional and psychological abuse' and Cyrus later accusing his wife of the same.
UNILAD has reached out to Cyrus' rep for comment.
