Billy Ray Cyrus Loses Faith After Controversial Divorce and Trump Inauguration Backlash

BBG News

Billy Ray Cyrus appears to have experienced a significant loss of trust following the contentious divorce with Firerose in 2024, as well as criticism stemming from his performance at Donald Trump’s Inauguration Ball.

63-year-old Billy Ray Cyrus, known for his hit “Achy Breaky Heart,” had a disorganized performance at the Liberty Ball last week, leading event organizers to cut off his sound and lighting systems. Afterwards, it seemed as if Cyrus was wandering aimlessly on stage, appearing confused.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: Instead of pointing fingers at malfunctioning gear, Trace, Billy Ray’s son, earnestly urged his father to embrace assistance, inviting him to open up.

A source close to the celebrity revealed to People that the star was grappling with self-doubt, yet remained committed to progressing in his profession.

He’s been dealing with a great deal of uncertainty and personal hardships, as well as difficulties in his professional life. The divorce weighed heavily on him. His confidence has waned.

His creativity shines most when immersed in his music. Music is not just a part of his life, it’s his life itself. At the moment, he’s fully engrossed in the creation of a new album, which serves as an excellent means for him to channel his energy and time productively.

The album will be a collaboration with his son Braison, 31.

Cyrus’ marriage to Firerose ended in August 2024, after seven months of marriage.  

For four years leading up to our wedding, my partner and I shared our lives together. However, during the tumultuous period of our divorce, we each brought forth accusations of mistreatment.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: In a heartwarming gesture, the country legend appears to have reached out to his kids by posting a snippet from his 2009 music video for “Somebody Said a Prayer.” This action seems like an olive branch extended, fostering hope for reconciliation and family bonding.

On TikTok, he titled his post as ‘It’s Sunday,’ expressing gratitude for the rain in California. He sent prayers to those who are hurting, with a broken heart, and asked for relief from their pain. He also prayed for his family, including his children – sons and daughters, and their mother. May this day bring healing to us all, he added with a heartfelt emoji.

He concluded his post by writing: “The past does not equal the future.” Amen.’ 

Billy Ray’s message was intended for his former spouse, Tish Cyrus, their children Brandi, Trace, Miley, Braison, Noah, and his son Christopher (from a different relationship with Kristin Luckey), as well as Christopher.

In the video, we see Trace, who was adopted by Billy Ray in 1993 following their wedding to Tish, portraying a distressed teen dealing with the death of his father.

As one of Billy’s loyal followers and the proud father of Trace, I too felt compelled to voice my thoughts after the disorganized inauguration performance he was part of. Trace, along with his sisters Miley, Brandi, and Noah, has also penned a heartfelt open letter expressing their feelings about the event.

In his earliest recollections, Trace shared that he’s always been captivated by you, regarding you as the most amazing individual he’s ever encountered.

‘I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life.

Regrettably, the man I once aspired to emulate so deeply is almost unrecognizable to me now. It appears as though life has worn you down severely, and although others can see it, it seems you are still oblivious.

I understand that you might feel frustrated with my recent post, but to be honest, I am past that now. For quite some time, me and my friends have had genuine concerns about your wellbeing, but it seems like we’ve been unable to reach out to you effectively.

Noah deeply wishes you were more involved in her life, yet you’ve not managed to be present when she needed you.

‘That’s your baby girl. She deserves better. Somehow just like me she still idolizes you though.’ 

In his note, Trace additionally expressed, ‘We’re clinging to memories of the person he used to be and longing for the moment he comes back. It’s evident that you aren’t well, Dad, and people are taking notice.’

In the same way that I unexpectedly attended your grandma’s funeral, I’m with you today as well.

The guitarist passionately expressed, ‘I trust you understand that this sentiment arises from both love and anxiety about the possibility of losing you prematurely. You are deeply cherished, Dad.’

It’s been a while since we last spoke, but I wanted to share some good news – it’s been more than a year since I stopped drinking alcohol. Can you believe it? I’m feeling fantastic!

As a lifestyle expert, here’s my take on your phrase:

“While I may not be fully aware of the specific challenges you’re facing, I sense there’s a struggle and I genuinely want to offer assistance if you feel comfortable enough to share. Remember, help is always available when you’re ready to receive it. If you need someone to talk to or advice on certain matters, don’t hesitate to reach out. In the meantime, know that my thoughts are with you and I’m sending positive vibes your way, hoping for a better tomorrow.

A few days following his initial post, Trace asserted on social media that his father had allegedly threatened him with a lawsuit.

On Saturday, the singer from The Dark Road posted a heartfelt message on his Instagram Story, saying, ‘My words went far beyond love.’

He wrote, “I had the chance to be much more truthful, but I prefer not to expose your business in such a way. However, it’s shameful that you would threaten me with a lawsuit just because I suggested you seek help.

Pappy looks at you with such deep disapproval, and honestly, you ought to feel embarrassed about this.

Dad, I’ve always loved you deeply, but I’ve lost respect for your actions as a man. It seems that those around you are afraid to express their true feelings. I, however, am not. I urge you to seek help.” In this version, the message is clear and direct while maintaining the original sentiment.

In the comments section, Trace requested that his followers share uplifting messages for his father. He believes the person they all remembered is still present inside, and he urges everyone to help bring him back. This is expressed with a heart emoticon.

In the midst of all the commotion, it was reported by a source to People magazine that Miley, the individual in question, shows no inclination towards reconciliation with her father. The source also mentioned that their relationship has been estranged for quite some time now.

According to the source, they managed to survive the ordeal of 2024, and now it’s a new year. Miley, Noah, Braison, and Tish prefer not to be caught up in the Cyrus family conflict. It’s something that doesn’t bring them joy.
