Hopie, 36, took to Instagram to slam her father in an emotional post and called Rory’s actions “extremely disappointing.”
“When I had the conversation with Rory, my one request was for him to be kind and not shame my mom. Today, he shared her private history in his blog, which is extremely disappointing,” Hopie began her lengthy social media post.

Her comments come after Rory shared a blog post titled, “a different dad,” “… this news and this blood test doesn’t change anything for me,” Rory wrote. “I love you as my daughter and I always will”.
On Feb. 8, Hopie posted a video that revealed she took a 23andMe test that determined Rory was not her father. She pointed out that her father was a man named B.C.
“I’ve never experienced unconditional love like that before,” she said in her video, as she referred to B.C. Hopie added she has “gotten really close” with her biological father over the last six months.

Meanwhile, on Rory’s blog he shared how Hopie’s news that he wasn’t her biological father didn’t “completely surprise” him.
He explained that his ex-wife’s due date, when she was expected to have Rory, didn’t align with when he returned from a six-month deployment with the Marines.
When Rory asked his ex-wife if Hopie was his daughter, she adamantly said yes.

In September, Heidi, 37, and Hopie decided to take legal action against the 59-year-old country singer after they expressed their concerns that he put Indiana in “harm’s way” and stated that their father prevented them from any communication with their younger sibling.
In a blog post titled “canceled” that he shared at the time, Rory addressed the conflict, and wrote that their family “isn’t perfect” and their struggles “aren’t something that just happened this summer.”
“We’ve always been a work-in-progress, and I feel fairly certain we always will be,” he admitted. “There are things that my older daughters and I need to work out together. Right now we’re at an impasse on how that’s ever going to happen.”
Reps for Rory and Hopie Feek did not immediately respond to Digital’s request for comment.
