“Dad, my message was beyond loving,” Trace wrote. “I could have been extremely honest about a lot more, but I don’t want to put your business out there like that.”
Trace pointed out that for his father to threaten him with legal action for wanting him to get help is a “disgrace.”
“You should be ashamed of yourself,” Trace continued. “I will always love you, but I no longer respect you as a man.” Trace then added, “Everyone close to you is terrified to tell you how they really feel. I’m not. Get help.”
Billy Ray’s noticeably rough performance at the Liberty Bell Ball, which took place during President Donald Trump’s inauguration, caused Trace to publicly declare that his father needed help.
“It seems this world has beaten you down, and it’s become obvious to everyone but you,” Trace wrote. “You may be upset with me for posting this but I really could care less at this point.”
Trace then declared that his father was “not healthy.”
“Everyone is noticing it,” Trace pointed out. “Just like I showed up for you at Mamaw’s funeral when you didn’t expect me to, I’m still here right now.”
Miley Cyrus Allegedly Has “No Interest” In Repairing Her Strained Relationship With Her Father, Billy Ray Cyrus
While her older brother tries to reason with their father, Miley Cyrus doesn’t want to contact the country singer.
Sources close to the “Wrecking Ball” hitmaker told Page Six that she hasn’t had a relationship with Billy Ray “for a long time.” She also has “no interest” in working through their issues.
However, despite not looking to make amends with Billy Ray personally, Miley did see the inauguration performance. She reportedly found it “concerning.”
The insiders further pointed out that Miley’s younger sister, Noah, is “also concerned.” This is because she loves their father “unconditionally” and “wants the best for him.”
One of the sources revealed that minus Braison, Miley, Noah, and their older sister Brandi reportedly discussed Trace’s Instagram post before he posted it. They notably all “signed off” on it because they “all agreed” with what he wrote.
Meanwhile, another source denied the siblings had conversations about the post. They even went as far as to say that the family is “pissed” at Tarce because Billy Ray is “sober.” The insider also noted that Billy Ray is “in a really good place” with Miley and Noah.
Billy Ray Cyrus seemingly showed that his relationship with Miley improved in November 2024. He posted a throwback photo wishing the singer a happy birthday.
