Braison Cyrus released a new statement about his family’s apparent strain on Saturday.
After his brother, Trace Cyrus, shared an open letter of concern addressed to their dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, Braison told People, “I don’t have any bad feelings toward anyone in my family.”
The 30-year-old music producer’s direct response to the family feud comes after Trace — whom Billy Ray, 63, adopted in 1993 after marrying his now-ex-wife Tish Cyrus — told their dad that he and the rest of his siblings “barely recognize” him anymore. Trace also said they were worried about Billy Ray following the singer’s confusing inauguration performance.
“It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you. You may be upset with me for posting this but I really could care less at this point,” Trace, 35, wrote in his Instagram post Wednesday.
“Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away,” he continued, referencing sisters Brandi Cyrus, 37, Miley Cyrus, 32, and Noah Cyrus, 25, who all “signed off” on the post, Page Six was exclusively told.
“We are all hanging on to memories of the man we once knew & hoping for the day he returns. You’re not healthy Dad & everyone is noticing it.”
“We haven’t talked in a while but I’m over a year and half clean from alcohol. Guess what? I feel amazing,” he added. “I don’t know what you’re struggling with exactly but I think I have a pretty good idea & I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help. You know how to reach me. Till that day comes I will continue to pray for you.”
During President Donald Trump’s Liberty Inaugural Ball on Monday, a disheveled-looking Billy Ray experienced technical difficulties while singing “Achy Breaky Heart” and his Lil Nas X collaboration, “Old Town Road.”
After Billy Ray issued an Instagram statement blaming faulty equipment, Trace shared his worries. Braison, however, praised their dad, expressing excitement for Billy Ray’s new record, which he produced.
“I’ve spent this past year getting to know my dad better than I ever have,” Braison said of working on his dad’s forthcoming album on Friday.
“After he spent a week in the hospital in the fall, I’m grateful that my dad is happy, healthy and ready to make this record.”
Trace clapped back at Braison for seemingly defending Billy Ray. “Braison I can help you too. Damn. Man up boys,” he wrote on Instagram.
Since then, Billy Ray has allegedly threatened legal action against Trace.
