Oh boy, buckle up, folks — because the Cyrus family drama just escalated from “awkward holiday dinner” to full-on public showdown, and this round came courtesy of Trace Cyrus, who did “not” hold back.
If you thought the country-meets-pop dynasty had found peace after Billy Ray and Tish’s divorce, think again — because now we’re dealing with social media takedowns, podcast confessions, and some serious emotional hoarding (yes, Miley’s words).
Let’s start with Trace. The Metro Station rocker — who, let’s not forget, was adopted by Billy Ray after he married Tish — dropped a bombshell Instagram tirade accusing Billy Ray of fame-chasing while simultaneously bailing on a major family moment: the funeral of “Mammie,” presumably a beloved matriarch.
According to Trace, not even a $60,000 private jet arranged by one of Billy Ray’s daughters could convince him to show up. And in case anyone missed his point, Trace flat-out called Billy Ray “the lamest man to ever walk planet earth.” Not exactly subtle.
Now, zoom out a little — because this wasn’t just about one funeral. Trace’s post tapped into years of built-up resentment, unspoken grievances, and — let’s be honest — some generational dysfunction. His closing salvo? A fiery “Christ is King. Get right with God.” It’s the kind of mic-drop you only post when you’re “done” playing nice.
And then there’s Miley, who, on the “same day”, popped up on Monica Lewinsky’s podcast to talk about the family’s “dark decade” and how she’s been trying to rebuild bridges. According to Miley, at one point, “half” the family wasn’t even speaking — and she’s not exaggerating. We’re talking about a clan that includes Brandi, Trace, Christopher, Braison, Noah, and, of course, Miley herself. That’s six adult children, each with their own complicated ties to both Tish and Billy Ray.
Miley’s approach? Skip therapy, wave the white flag, and bring joy back into the room. She described her method as breaking through “emotional hoarding” — a concept that honestly deserves its own spin-off series — and trying to just “be” with her family again. No interventions. No counseling. Just vibes and proximity.
Later, she opened up even more, explaining that she used to absorb her mom’s pain from the marriage and made it her own. But now, with both Tish and Billy Ray seemingly finding new happiness with new partners, she’s learning to love them as “individuals” rather than as some fractured parental unit.
So here we are — Trace swinging with words sharper than a country guitar string, and Miley playing diplomat through podcasts and pop psychology. Billy Ray, meanwhile, is noticeably silent (or maybe just slow to hit “reply all” on the family group text).
At this point, we’re not just watching a celebrity family feud. We’re witnessing a real-time emotional reckoning — one that just happens to come with backstage passes, platinum records, and a whole lot of Instagram followers. Stay tuned, because with the Cyruses, the next act is never far behind.
