Family Feud Erupts Over Billy Ray Cyrus’s Well-being

Country music star Billy Ray Cyrus finds himself at the center of a family dispute after his son, Trace Cyrus, publicly expressed concerns about his father’s health. The controversy began following Billy Ray’s performance at President Donald Trump’s Liberty Ball, which was marred by technical difficulties. Trace, along with his siblings including pop star Miley Cyrus, signed a message urging their father to seek help, prompting an unexpected response from the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer.

According to Trace, Billy Ray has not directly contacted him but instead communicated through a family member about taking legal action in response to the public plea. This move has deepened the rift within the Cyrus family, with Trace expressing disappointment and frustration over his father’s reaction.

Trace, who has been sober for over a year and a half, offered to help his father, suggesting he might understand what Billy Ray is struggling with. In an emotional Instagram post, Trace criticized his father’s decision to threaten legal action, calling it a “disgrace” and expressing a loss of respect for Billy Ray.

“Dad my message was beyond loving, I could have been extremely honest about a lot more but I don’t want to put your business out there like that. But for you to threaten me with legal action for wanting you to get help is a disgrace,” Trace Cyrus said.

The public nature of this family dispute has brought to light underlying issues within the Cyrus family, including concerns about Billy Ray’s behavior and the strain on familial bonds. Trace reminisced about his past admiration for his father and expressed sadness over the perceived changes in Billy Ray’s character.

But for many…the public “plea” for help may be more about his support for Trump than anything.

Divided Family Responses

While Trace has been vocal about his concerns, not all family members share his perspective. Braison Cyrus, another of Billy Ray’s sons, disagrees with Trace’s assessment of their father’s well-being. Braison has publicly stated that Billy Ray is “happy and healthy,” and expressed gratitude for his father’s recovery after a recent hospital stay.

“I’ve spent the last year getting to know my dad better than I ever have. After he spent a week in the hospital in the fall, I’m grateful that my dad is happy, healthy and ready to make this record,” Braison said.

This conflicting view from within the family adds another layer of complexity to the situation, highlighting the differing perspectives among Billy Ray’s children. Despite the family discord, Billy Ray has remained relatively silent on the matter, focusing instead on his music career.

As the family drama unfolds, Billy Ray Cyrus continues to focus on his music career. He recently announced a new album produced by his son Braison, expected to release in the summer. This professional collaboration with one of his children stands in stark contrast to the public disagreement with Trace.
