Trace Cyrus has called her famous father.
In a long, nasty and personal open letter shared on Instagram, the 35-year-old brother of Miley Cyrus addressed his father, Billy Ray, directly.
And held absolutely nothing back.
“Since my earliest memories, all I can remember is obsessing over you and thinking you were the coolest person ever,” wrote Trace, who was adopted by the musician as a child.
“I wanted to be like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life. Unfortunately, the man I so desperately wanted to be like I hardly recognize now. “
Track is also related to Brandi, 37, Braison, 30, and Noah, 24.
“It seems this world has got you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you,” continued Billy Ray’s son.
“Me and the girls have been really worried about you for years, but you’ve pushed us all away.”
Billy Ray Cyrus performed in Washington, DC on Monday as part of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, making headlines at the time for his massive meltdown over alleged technical difficulties.
“As I write this with tears in my eyes, I hope you only realize that this message comes from a place of love and also fear that the world may lose you far too soon,” Trace continued, implying, that his parent had a drug problem and Addition:
“I don’t know what you’re struggling with exactly, but I think I have a pretty good idea, and I’d love to help you if you’d open up and get help. You know how to reach me. “
The day after the Liberty Ball on January 20, Billy Ray claimed his performance was affected by technical difficulties, telling People magazine in a statement:
“I would not have missed the honor of playing this event whether my microphone, guitar and monitors were working or not. I was there because President Donald J. Trump invited me.
“I had a ball at the Liberty Ball last night, and I’ve learned through all these years, when the producer says, ‘You’re on,’ you go entertain the people, even if the equipment goes to hell. I was there for the people and we had a blast. It’s called Rock N Roll!!! “
After Billy Ray’s split from wife Tish, it hasn’t really been a secret that he has become estranged from his children.
To end his social media post, Trace, meanwhile, included an older photo of a younger Trace shaking his father’s hand on stage.
“Until that day comes, I will continue to pray for you,” the young man wrote.
