Billy Ray Cyrus Faces Public Criticism from Son Amid Family Feud

Trace Cyrus publicly criticized his father, country music star Billy Ray Cyrus, accusing him of prioritizing fame over family by flying to a fashion show in Italy instead of attending the funeral of Trace's maternal grandmother in Los Angeles. Despite a $60,000 private jet arranged for him, Billy Ray did not attend the funeral, prompting Trace to call him "the lamest man to ever walk planet earth" and urge him to "get right with God." Trace expressed deep disappointment, stating that his father's behavior has motivated him to adopt a different, more positive path in life. The conflict adds to longstanding family tensions, with Trace previously pleading for Billy Ray to get help after an erratic performance at President Donald Trump's inaugural event. Meanwhile, other family members, including Miley Cyrus, have worked to heal past disputes and restore communication within the family. Public reactions to Trace's posts have been mixed, with some viewing his comments as a cry for attention and others urging reconciliation.
