Trace Cyrus has claimed that his country singer father, Billy Ray Cyrus, has threatened him with legal after an impassioned plea on social media for him to get help. There have been concerns since Billy, 63, who is best known for Achy Breaky Heart, delivered a performance at Donald Trump's inauguration which was described as a "trainwreck".
Trace, 35, who is brother to Miley and Noah Cyrus, posted a statement on Instagram in which he reached out directly to his father. The singer wrote: "Dad my message was beyond loving. I could have been extremely honest about a lot more but I don't want to put your business out there like that. But for you to threaten me with legal action for wanting you to get help is a disgrace.".
Trace then referenced his paternal grandfather as he continued his plea. He wrote in the message in which he tagged his father: "Pappy is looking down at you with such disappointment I can assure you. You should be ashamed of yourself. I will always love you but I no longer respect you as a man. Everyone close to you is terrified to tell you how they really feel. I'm not. Get help.".
Trace then took to the comments on his post to make another plea, this time to fans of his father. He asked: "Send my dad some words of encouragement guys!! I have faith the man we all once knew is still in there somewhere. We gotta get him back.". The Instagram post was not the only post to try and get his father to concede to his request. Trace then added a couple of throwback pics on his Instagram Stories, as he lamented his relationship with his father.
