Miley Cyrus breaks silence over family feud following dad Billy Ray Cyrus’ Trump performance
Miley Cyrus is determined to stay clear of her family’s public drama following her brother Trace’s recent concerns about their father Billy Ray’s troubled performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The 32-year-old superstar has deliberately distanced herself from the family tensions, with sources revealing she has “no interest” in reconciling with her father.
“Miley used to feel overwhelmed by the family drama. She worked hard to remove herself. She’s not about to get involved again,” a source told People.
The Grammy winner has not maintained a relationship with her father “for a long time,” according to Page Six.
Her brother Trace, 35, had previously taken to social media with a heartfelt message expressing worry about his father’s wellbeing.
“Since my earliest memories all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever,” Trace wrote on Instagram. “Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognise now.”
