Miley Cyrus breaks silence over family feud following dad Billy Ray Cyrus’ Trump performance
Miley Cyrus is determined to stay clear of her family’s public drama following her brother Trace’s recent concerns about their father Billy Ray’s troubled performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The 32-year-old superstar has deliberately distanced herself from the family tensions, with sources revealing she has “no interest” in reconciling with her father.
“Miley used to feel overwhelmed by the family drama. She worked hard to remove herself. She’s not about to get involved again,” a source told People.
The Grammy winner has not maintained a relationship with her father “for a long time,” according to Page Six.
Her brother Trace, 35, had previously taken to social media with a heartfelt message expressing worry about his father’s wellbeing.
“Since my earliest memories all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever,” Trace wrote on Instagram. “Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognise now.”
The situation escalated when Trace alleged that his father had threatened legal action over the posts.The situation escalated when Trace alleged that his father had threatened legal action over the posts.
“He did contact a family member to let me know he’s taking legal action against me for encouraging him to get help,” Trace shared via Instagram Stories.
The estrangement between Miley and her father has been evident in recent years, following Billy Ray’s divorce from her mother Tish.
“She’s in a great place now. She’s thriving and looking out for herself,” the People source added.
Sources also indicate that Miley’s younger sister Noah is also concerned about their father but maintains unconditional love for him.
“Miley and Noah and Braison and Tish, they don’t want to be this Cyrus family feud. This is not enjoyable for them,” another insider told People.
The siblings have reportedly been worried about Billy Ray “for years” but he has “pushed all of us away,” according to Trace’s social media posts.
This current feud began amidst the fallout of Billy Ray Cyrus’ disastrous performance during at Donald Trump’s inaugural Liberty Ball.
