Billy Ray Cyrus' son Trace has claimed his dad is threatening legal action, after Trace sent an open letter asking him to get help.
Trace Cyrus has revealed on Instagram that a bad family situation is further escalating between him and the Achy Breaky Heart singer.
Following his open letter expressing concern for his father's health following his performance at President Donald Trump's inauguration, Trace posted an update on his father's alleged reaction.
"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," he began.
"But for you to threaten me with legal action for wanting you to get help is a disgrace."
Trace added, "Pappy is looking down at you with such disappointment I can assure you. You should be ashamed of yourself."
The Metro Station singer concluded, "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."
Billy Ray adopted Trace and his older sister Brandi, when he married Tish Cyrus in 1992.
The couple went on to welcome Miley Cyrus, Braison Cyrus, and Noah Cyrus before their divorce in 2022.
The singer is also father to Christopher Cyrus with his ex-wife Kristin Luckey.
