After Trace Cyrus shared a post blasting his father on Instagram, American blogger and columnist Perez Hilton posted a video reaction on his YouTube channel. The internet personality slammed the Shake It singer for his public “outburst” against Billy Ray Cyrus and said:

“This is not very godly. This is very toxic. It's unclear what prompted this outburst, but I think it's lame. How is this helping things? I think he's attention-seeking. And remember how Trace accused his dad of struggling with things, wouldn't surprise me actually if Trace is struggling with things. And this is a manifestation of that. Awful awful awful.”

The media personality also referenced in his video Trace Cyrus’s open letter to his father, which he posted on Instagram earlier this year. On January 23, the musician took to social media and wrote that he and his sisters are “genuinely worried” about his health. His post, as per Perez, was directed to Billy Ray’s struggle with addiction.

What did Miley Cyrus's brother accuse Billy Ray Cyrus of?

On June 10, 2025, Miley Cyrus's brother Trace publicly accused his father, Billy Ray Cyrus, of not attending a family funeral. As per Page Six, Tish’s mother, Loretta Finley, died at the age of 85 in 2020. He shared a photo of the 63-year-old country musician and wrote:

“This man is so hungry for fame it's pathetic. He really flew to Italy for a fashion show but wouldn't come to LA for Mammie’s funeral while he was still married to my mom. Even after his daughter got him a 60k private jet like he demanded then he still didn't come even after the plane was paid for.”

According to Page Six, Trace’s comments came after his sister Miley Cyrus’s recent appearance on Monica Lewinsky’s Reclaiming podcast. The Flowers singer commented about their “messy” family drama and how they reportedly avoided therapy.

Miley Cyrus opened up on Lewinsky’s podcast that “just to get each other into a room to get to counseling would have been a war." The singer also recalled how the Cyrus clan has been through a difficult “dark decade.”
