Rory Feek gives update after adult daughters accused him of exposing their kid sister to ‘abusive’ cult

Rory Feek continues to speak out amid family conflict over the care of his youngest daughter, Indiana.

The 59-year-old singer-songwriter shared a blog post titled “cancelled” just three weeks after his eldest daughters filed legal action against him, alleging that their father had prevented them from having contact with their 10-year-old sister, putting her in danger.

Feek, who married his daughter’s teacher in July, is raising his youngest daughter in a farming Christian community with ties to Homestead Heritage, which has come under fire after at least one member admitted to child sexual abuse.

In the post, Feek shares that he drove nearly two hours to Florence, Alabama, to reconcile with his estranged daughters, Heidi, 37, and Hopie, 35. The two accused him of exposing their younger sister to what they call an “abusive” cult. The trip, however, didn’t go as planned.

Feek claims he arrived at Heidi’s front door with a “peace offering” of lilies in his hand, hoping his daughters “could sit down and talk, or better yet, that I would just sit down and listen to whatever they wanted to say and maybe give them a hug,” the post reads.

Although it appeared someone was home, with cars in the driveway and lights on inside, no one answered the door when Feek arrived, so he left.

Heidi told People She was not home when Feek arrived, but her husband Dillon and sister Hopie were.

On the way back, Feek got a text from Heidi saying, “We only want to talk to you with a licensed therapist or attorney, or both.”

Feek responded strongly to this and argued in his message that reconciliation is not the task of someone with a ‘doctorate, law or master’s degree’, but that they should resolve this together with their family.

Heidi confirmed that she filed legal papers against her father earlier this month and that her father was summoned the day after he drove to her house.

Rory is raising his youngest daughter, Indiana, 10, in a farming Christian community affiliated with Homestead Heritage, which has come under fire after at least one of its members admitted to sexually abusing children.

“Regardless of the intent, it came across as intimidating. We set really clear boundaries. We have such a hard time communicating with him and feeling heard that we really don’t feel like it’s possible without a third party,” Heidi said.

The confrontation comes after Feek’s eldest daughter claimed on instagram that her father “admitted her 10-year-old sister – who has Down syndrome – into the care of a group with a well-documented history of physical and sexual abuse of children.”

“Indiana, who has special needs, deserves to be in a safe and stable environment where her well-being is the highest priority,” she wrote.

Feek’s blog post details the famous singer’s experience of being “cancelled,” saying that he expected it and that the only thing he’s guilty of is being “part of a family that’s not perfect” and that their family is “a work in progress.”

Heidi previously expressed her frustrations with her father in a letter that was later posted on Instagram. She wrote that she and Hopie had been trying to contact their father for months, but had received no response.

She included a screenshot of several unanswered text messages she sent at various times in July, asking questions about Indiana and explaining why she felt it necessary for a third party to be present in the communications.

“The last time we sat down to have this conversation, without a mediator as you requested, you told us you were done being our father,” she wrote in the letter.

“Our hope is that this letter finds you, so that you will know where our hearts are. Love is action, not words. We forgive you for your unkind words. You called us cowards in your blog post for not facing you. We forgive you,” she added.

In his blog post, Feek detailed the famous singer’s experience of the gig being “cancelled.” He said he expected it and that the only thing he’s guilty of is being “part of a family that’s not perfect” and that their family is “a work in progress.”

He claims that the “cancelled” performances have left him without writing assignments and other events taken away from him as people increasingly distanced themselves from the country artist.

The post goes on to share extensive details about his family’s life on their farm in central Tennessee, noting that they bake, pickle and preserve various things — including the occasional pickleball session — without being bothered by his alleged cancellation.

He also talks about Indiana’s, or “Indy’s,” fun on the farm: “Indy has been having a lot of fun homeschooling fifth grade with Rebecca, who she has been calling ‘Mama’ for about six weeks now.”

The message ends with a plea to keep his youngest child out of the ‘mud’. According to him, it is his eldest daughters who hurt her the most.

“And lastly – contrary to what they claim is the motive behind all of this – the person who is hurting my daughters and everyone the most is our little one.”

Because the lawsuit is still pending, the details of the petition remain confidential, as Indiana is a minor.
