Trace’s heartfelt but scathing rebuke went further, invoking the memory of Billy Ray’s father. “Pappy looks at you with such disappointment. 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 added.
