Washington, Jan. 27 -- Trace Cyrus, the son of Billy Ray Cyrus and brother of Miley Cyrus, has revealed that his father threatened legal action against him after Trace publicly expressed concern for Billy Ray's well-being.

"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. But for you to threaten me with legal action for wanting you to get help is a disgrace. Pappy is looking down at you with such disappointment I can assure you. You should be ashamed of yourself. 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," he wrote on Instagram.
