Cyrus Family Feud: Trace Accuses Billy Ray of Shocking Funeral Snub
The facts are clear: a seismic wave has just rippled through the notoriously complex Cyrus family, as Trace Cyrus, Miley Cyrus’s older brother, unleashed a torrent of scorching accusations against their father, Billy Ray Cyrus. On June 10, Trace took to Instagram, branding the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer “the lamest man to ever walk planet earth” in a post that has sent shockwaves across social media and entertainment outlets, including E! News.
At the heart of Trace’s explosive claims is the allegation that Billy Ray deliberately skipped his mother Tish Cyrus’s mother, Loretta Finley’s funeral in 2020. This deeply personal family event, Trace contends, was bypassed so Billy Ray could attend a fashion show in Italy—a decision Trace described as driven by a “pathetic” hunger for fame. The musician further detailed a stunning accusation: even after his sister Miley reportedly arranged and paid for a $60,000 private jet to bring their father to Los Angeles for the funeral, he still failed to appear. Loretta Finley’s passing occurred in 2020, two years before Billy Ray and Tish finalized their divorce, adding another layer of complexity to the family’s already public separation.
Trace’s raw sentiments didn’t stop there. He publicly declared himself “embarrassed to ever have considered you my idol,” and asserted that Billy Ray’s “downfall” spurred him into “beast mode,” vowing never to become “a washed up, delusional, evil person” like his father. In a follow-up Instagram Story, Trace even took aim at Billy Ray’s current appearance, questioning his “homeless hairstyle.” When challenged by a commenter suggesting his posts were a “cry for help,” Trace vehemently denied it, stating he’s “past the point of even caring if I ever speak to him again” and believes he has “surpassed him in every metric as a man.” He concluded by emphasizing his intention to carry on the Cyrus name through his own future children, promising to “raise them the right way and be a part of their life no matter what the circumstances are.”
This public broadside stands in stark contrast to Miley Cyrus’s recent efforts to mend her relationship with her father. Earlier this year, the “Flowers” singer openly discussed her journey to repair things with Billy Ray, despite feeling immense “loyalty” to her mother, Tish, during the divorce. Miley’s approach focused on finding “happiness and joy” together first, before tackling deeper conversations, a strategy that appears to have yielded some positive results for her personally. This divergence in sibling perspectives highlights the multifaceted impact of the family’s highly publicized dynamics. As the public watches this saga unfold, the implications for the Cyrus family’s tightly woven narrative remain a subject of considerable speculation.
