Billy Ray Cyrus faces family rift amid abuse allegations
Close family members of Billy Ray Cyrus are concerned about his mental condition following his high-profile divorce from his third wife. Miley, who has been at odds with him for several years, has not maintained contact with the musician. There are no signs of reconciliation between the father and daughter.
Billy Ray Cyrus has not been viewed favorably in recent months. His ex-wife, the singer Firerose, who is 27 years younger than him, accused the country music legend of physical and emotional abuse, causing violent disturbances, and economic abuse by blocking her access to bank accounts. Thanks to the evidence she gathered, including shocking recordings in which the musician directed threats and vulgarities at her, she managed to free herself from the toxic relationship.
During the widely discussed divorce case, stories brought to light by Firerose about the 63-year-old's mood swings due to excessive substance use were revealed. His adopted son, Trace Cyrus, addressed this issue on social media, publicly expressing concern for his father's condition.
Sadly, the man I desperately wanted to be like, I barely recognize anymore. It seems like this world has defeated you, and it’s obvious to everyone except you — he wrote emotionally on Instagram.
Miley Cyrus will not extend a hand for reconciliation with her father
Billy Ray Cyrus performed a concert with his band during Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday. The performance sparked criticism due to his noticeable vocal problems and disheveled appearance. Editors of the Page Six portal, basing their reports on sources close to the musical family, claim that Miley Cyrus, who is openly in conflict with her dad, "expressed concern" over his poor condition after watching the subpar performance.
Despite this, the 32-year-old pop star is not interested in renewing her relationship with him. It is worth recalling that during one argument with his ex-wife, an agitated Billy Ray Cyrus insulted his older daughter, calling her "the devil's skank."
The son of the former star, who has struggled with alcohol abuse problems in the past, admitted that he can rely not only on himself but also on his other daughter, Noah. In his moving appeal, he referred to her as a "little girl who deserves better."
