Trace Cyrus posted the allegations to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, June 11, after responding to a fan comment criticizing him.

In his response to a fan who wrote, “Ahhhh now we know why Brenda left. Good riddance,” Cyrus said, “Yes because she stole thousands of dollars from me and faked multiple pregnancies.”

Trace, now 36, continued with his claims, stating that Brenda, 37, “lied about being terminally ill” and convinced him and his family that she was suffering from “breast cancer and a brain tumor.”

He added, “It was all a lie. She was humiliated to ever show her face around my family again once we figured it out," as per Page Six

The former Metro Station member also said that Brenda faked an abortion.

“She faked an abortion with fake blood covering the bathroom floor,” Trace alleged. He claimed that he and his mother, Tish Cyrus, took the actress to a doctor and realized at that point “all the lies started unraveling and [they] realized it was fake."

“Thanks for reminding me of another scenario where I was great loving another person and someone did me wrong for no reason,” Trace added.

“She didn’t realize we were catching on to her lies. So when she showed up to my house with a bandage on her head claiming she just got out of surgery I ripped it off exposing no surgery had been done," the musician claimed. 

He concluded the post by writing, “There’s more proof of how f**ked in the head child stars are. I hope she’s doing better mentally.”

Trace Cyrus once said Brenda Song 'inspired me to write countless songs'

In 2018, after Brenda Song began dating her now-fiance Macaulay Culkin, Trace Cyrus reflected positively on their time together.

“I’m extremely happy for her. She inspired me to write countless songs and was such an important part of my life,” he wrote on Instagram at the time, as reported by Us Weekly.

The 'Shake It' singer added, “I will always cherish songs I have … to remind me of our crazy [seven] years together."

Trace went on to date Taylor Lauren Sanders between 2018 and 2020. Brenda and Macaulay confirmed their engagement in January 2022. The couple has two sons together — Dakota, four, and Carson, two.
