Trace Cyrus Accuses Sister Brandi of Renting Him “Mold Infested” Home

by

Miley Cyrus‘ brother is calling out their sister Brandi Cyrus.

Trace Cyrus publicly accused the host of the Sorry We’re Cyrus podcast of renting him a home that he described as full of mold. He expressed his anger with a strong expletive, telling her, “Fk you.”

The musician, known as Metro Station’s rocker, shared on Instagram in May that he’s been dealing with ongoing issues since moving into his new house. He explained that he only recently got access to clean water, stating it had been a consistent problem since he arrived.

Trace, 37, went to alleged that Brandi, 39, “doesn’t want to refund me my money.”

He expressed his shock and disgust at how his family was treating him. He then directly addressed Brandi, telling her to stop using others to communicate and to contact him directly if she wanted to talk.

Trace’s outburst follows a recent family reunion between Miley, 33, and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. Billy Ray and Miley’s mother, Tish Cyrus, divorced in 2022 after almost 30 years of marriage.

Miley Cyrus explained to the New York Times that she often felt her mother’s pain more deeply than her own, especially as an adult. She realized she had been carrying a lot of her mom’s emotional burden. After her mother, Tish, remarried Dominic Purcell in 2023, Miley understood she could love both her parents as individuals, rather than as a couple. She described this as taking a mature approach to the situation.

The Cyrus family experienced periods of disconnection and conflict. As Miley Cyrus shared in a June 2025 podcast interview on Reclaiming, they went through a particularly difficult ten-year period.

Miley Cyrus explained to the New York Times that she often felt her mother’s pain more deeply than her own, especially as an adult. She realized she was taking on her mom’s emotional burden. After her mother, Tish, remarried Dominic Purcell in 2023, Miley understood she could love both her parents as individuals, rather than seeing them as a couple. She described this as a step towards mature acceptance.

The Cyrus family experienced periods of distance and conflict. As Miley explained in a June 2025 podcast called Reclaiming, they went through a difficult ten-year period.

Oh my gosh, you won’t BELIEVE the family drama! Our girl, the Grammy winner, was telling me how things got SO bad, like half the siblings weren’t even talking! Can you imagine?! It was with Noah, Braison, and even Christopher – Billy Ray’s son from before he met Tish. Apparently, there was a whole thing with Kristin Luckey, Christopher’s mom. But thankfully, they worked it all out! They’ve totally fixed things now, and I’m just so relieved to hear it!

Miley recently thanked her dad publicly while accepting her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

During her Walk of Fame induction on May 22nd, she shared a saying from her father: ‘Everything great, even a skyscraper or a star on the Walk of Fame, begins with small, consistent effort.’ She emphasized that it wasn’t about raw power, but about doing things repeatedly.

Miley explained that what makes this star so meaningful to her is that it represents a collection of dedicated effort and love.

For a closer look at the Cyrus family, keep reading…

Billy Ray Cyrus married Tish Cyrus (née Leticia Finley) on Dec. 28, 2003.

They already had a daughter, Destiny Hope Cyrus (better known as Miley Cyrus), and Tish was expecting their son, Braison Cyrus, who was born on May 9, 1994.

Before Miley was born on November 23, 1992, Billy Ray Cyrus’s former partner, Kristin Luckey, had a son named Christopher Cody Cyrus on April 8th.

When Billy Ray Cyrus married Tish, he became the adoptive father of her children, Brandi Cyrus (born May 26, 1987) and Trace Cyrus (born February 24, 1989). Their biological father is Tish’s former husband, Baxter Helson.

Tish and Billy Ray’s youngest, daughter Noah Cyrus, was born Jan. 8, 2000.

I’ll never forget Billy Ray Cyrus as Miley’s dad on Hannah Montana! He played the father of her character, the one who didn’t know she was secretly a pop star. He was fantastic in the show, which ran from 2006 to 2010, and also in the Hannah Montana movie that came out in 2009. It was such a fun show, and he really made the role his own.

When the Cyrus family lived in Nashville, Billy Ray and Miley relocated to Los Angeles to help launch Miley’s career in the entertainment industry.

Billy Ray and Tish announced their divorce in October 2010, but they reconciled and were back together by the next year.

The couple filed for divorce once more in June 2013, but quickly changed their minds a month later. They told TopMob News that couples counseling had significantly improved their relationship.

Before Miley and her father reconciled, news spread that he had filed for divorce after 19 years of marriage. In response, Miley tweeted at him, “@billyraycyrus Since you’re not responding to my texts or emails, would you prefer to communicate publicly like this?”

Miley and Liam Hemsworth first worked together in the 2010 film The Last Song, and had an on-again, off-again relationship for about ten years. They got married in December 2018, shortly after a fire destroyed their house in Malibu.

Miley explained on her TikTok series, ‘Used to Be Young,’ that the decision was made because she was still healing from a difficult experience and wanted to recover quickly.

But Liam filed for divorce in August 2019 and they finalized the paperwork in January 2020.

According to a source, it’s really quite straightforward: they were young when they fell in love, but they’ve grown apart over time.

Braison and his wife Stella Cyrus welcomed son Bear Chance Cyrus on June 8, 2021. 

Tish filed for divorce fo a third time in April 2022, and this time it stuck.

She filed for divorce, stating that she and her husband, who she’d been married to for nearly 30 years, had been living separately since February 2020.

After 30 years together, five wonderful children, and countless cherished memories, Tish and Billy Ray have announced they are separating. In a statement to People magazine, they emphasized that the decision wasn’t made with sadness, but with love. They’ve grown up together, built a family they’re incredibly proud of, and now feel it’s time to pursue their individual journeys.

Okay, so they’re saying this wasn’t some impulsive thing, it took them a long time to decide to separate, which honestly, breaks my heart a little. But they’re still going to be a family, which is… good? I guess? They want to keep things loving and friendly, especially for the kids, and I just… I need a moment. They really seem determined to make this work as a family, even if it’s not as a couple, and I’m trying to be happy for them, even though it’s still so sad!

Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose, who is 27 years younger than him, got engaged in August 2022, but they didn’t announce it publicly until November of that year.

Firerose shared with People magazine that music was her biggest passion growing up in Australia. She also said she’s been a fan of his music for as long as she can remember.

What started as a friendship turned into more during the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Billy Ray explained that his life as a touring musician abruptly changed. It was a period of huge transition, and during that time, Firerose, who had always been a positive and supportive friend, became something more. As they started making music together, their connection deepened into a loving relationship – a pure and happy connection he hadn’t thought possible.

Shortly after her ex-husband announced his engagement in November 2022, Tish publicly revealed her relationship with Dominic Purcell, known for his role in the TV show Prison Break.

They announced their engagement in April 2023 and were married that August in a beautiful sunset ceremony in Malibu. Miley, Trace, and Brandi were all with their mother during the wedding.

Trace shared a photo with his siblings and the bride, writing that life is constantly changing and full of surprises. He believes it’s key to appreciate good memories, be excited about what’s to come, and focus on enjoying the present, since that’s all that truly matters.

Miley shared with Vogue that seeing her mom so happy and in love is incredibly moving. She described the relationship between her mom and Dom as a sweet and truly heartfelt connection, feeling like a first love – a perfect fit for her mom’s youthful spirit.

According to a source who spoke with TopMob News in October 2022, Miley wasn’t thrilled about her father’s new relationship and didn’t have a close connection with his future wife.

A source said the divorce really affected her relationship with her father, and they’ve struggled to connect over the past year. She’s hopeful they can repair things eventually.

Billy Ray told People magazine in November that his family was supportive of his engagement and didn’t hold any resentment about it.

He said people were ready to move on. It had been a difficult period, but everyone agreed it was time for something new.

He and Firerose married on October 10, 2023, describing their wedding day as a beautiful and joyful celebration of their love and commitment.

It seemed like Miley and her father still weren’t on good terms at the 2024 Grammys on February 4th, as any previous disagreements hadn’t been resolved.

Tish, Brandi, and Miley’s boyfriend, Maxx Morando, were all present when Miley won Record of the Year, and she publicly thanked them all.

As Miley concluded her speech, “I don’t think I forgot anyone.”

There’s been speculation about a possible relationship between Noah and Dominic before her mother, but it hasn’t been confirmed or denied. In April 2024, the singer responded to an inappropriate comment on Instagram that suggested both Noah and her mother had been romantically involved with the actor.

Okay, look, I know it’s probably weird, but when I saw their reply… it just completely broke me. It was this awful, shocking message – they basically wished something incredibly graphic and disturbing would happen to someone. I was so stunned, honestly. It was just… this aggressive, hateful thing they typed out, and it’s been replaying in my head ever since. It felt like a personal attack, and I can’t get it out of my head. I’m completely obsessed with it, and I just needed to say it somewhere.

Just eight months after getting married, Billy Ray filed for an annulment, claiming in legal documents that his spouse had tricked him into the marriage.

He listed May 22, 2024, as their date of separation.

However, Billy Ray amended his plan and filed for divorce, which was settled that August.

Billy Ray described the situation as an unbelievable scam, stating in a statement to TopMob News, “I’ve never heard of anything like it.” He added that he was a central figure and primary target, and expressed disappointment that things unfolded as they did.

As long as I can remember, I’ve always looked up to my dad – he was my hero! I wanted to be just like him, and I still remember how incredibly happy I was the day he adopted me. It’s just… it breaks my heart to say that the man I admired so much feels like a stranger now.

He said he and his sisters had been concerned about him for a long time, but he’d always kept them at a distance.

Noah was especially hurt, according to Trace.

He wrote that Noah has always wished you were in her life, but you haven’t been there for her. He emphasized that she’s your daughter and deserves better. Despite everything, she still looks up to you, just like he does. They’re all holding onto good memories and hoping you’ll be the person they remember again.

Following a post from his son Trace expressing concern for him and his sisters – Miley, Brandi, and Noah – country music star Billy Ray Cyrus shared a message on YouTube Shorts on January 26, 2025, saying he was praying for his family, including all of his children and their mother.

In March 2025, Billy Ray appeared to be reconnecting with his daughters, Miley and Noah, publicly praising their recent musical achievements.

He excitedly shared on Instagram, praising their incredible performance and saying they’d truly elevated their craft. He expressed immense pride in both of them, admitting he was moved to tears while writing the message and jokingly noting he was glad they couldn’t see his emotional reaction.

In May 2025, Billy Ray Cyrus posted a photo on Instagram with his daughter Miley, her boyfriend Maxx Morando, and his son Braison Cyrus. The picture seems to have been taken at Billy Ray’s farm in Tennessee, and he wished Braison a happy birthday in the caption.

Okay, so everyone’s been buzzing about some family drama, and I wanted to share what I’ve gathered. Miley finally addressed the rumors about a rift with her dad, and she basically said they’ve definitely had their ups and downs over the years – which, honestly, who hasn’t? It’s nice to see her acknowledge it in a pretty straightforward way.

Now that I’m in my thirties, my family comes first. I feel good knowing that relationships have improved and that time has helped everyone heal. I’m thankful for the health and love we all share.
