Billy Ray Cyrus filed for divorce from Firerose in May after seven months of marriage.

Now, a source said Cyrus fully believes his marriage to Firerose "was all a scam," and the Hannah Montana actor "feels lucky that he figured it all out."

While divorce is "annoying" for the dad-of-six, "he's happy to be out of the marriage," the insider admitted to a news publication.

As he moves on from his seven-month marriage to the Australian pop singer, Cyrus is "trying to put all the drama in the past" and luckily has a "good support system" to get him through this tough time.

"He's happy in Nashville and doing well. He's with close friends and he has great contact with Noah," the confidante confessed of his youngest daughter, 24, whom he shares with his ex-wife Tish Cyrus, 57.

"Happy Sunday everybody! Don’t believe I’ve ever heard the word LIAR this much on Sunday morning. I’m sure very soon the truth will be revealed," the "She's Not Cryin' Anymore" singer wrote via Instagram alongside an image of the word "Fraud" situated above a candle surrounded by rose petals.

"I didn’t have a car. I was only allowed to go to the local chiropractor and allowed once a month to get my nails done … it was systematic isolation and I couldn’t find the courage to leave," Firerose claimed.
