Ronnie Radke Fires Back After Tommy Lee Calls Him An ‘Idiot’

Ronnie Radke has never been shy about clapping back online, and this week was no exception.

The Falling In Reverse frontman has responded publicly after Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee labelled him an “idiot”, dragging an already messy social media dispute into full blown rock world crossfire.

The latest escalation stems from an ongoing feud between Radke and Brittany Furlan, Lee’s wife, centred on accusations of burner accounts and alleged catfishing via Snapchat, over the weekend, Lee stepped in to defend Furlan, replying to an Instagram commenter who suggested she was fuelling the drama.

“Maybe that idiot needs to let it go and stop stalking my wife’s replies on videos,” Lee wrote.

Radke responds

Speaking to TMZ, the singer denied stalking anyone, insisting he only responds to content that fans send directly to him.

“Well Tommy, I have a bunch of fans too. They send me stuff and they sent me [Furlan] bringing it up again and saying that I have all these different phone numbers,” Radke said.

“I have to respond to that, I don’t want all these people thinking that it’s me! I don’t understand, it’s like I’m taking crazy pills at this point.”

At the centre of the dispute is Radke’s claim that Furlan was catfished by an impersonator, not him, Furlan has repeatedly denied this, accusing Radke of operating a burner account under the handle @jub_tip.

Radke says he plans to subpoena Snapchat to access metadata he believes will clear his name.

“I’m gonna literally email all the metadata to Tommy Lee so he can go over it and he can look at it all,” Radke continued. “And you know what? If you find anything weird, post it. I implore all of you to post it all.”

Furlan has maintained that her public responses are defensive, writing in Instagram Stories:

“… every time someone posts a video about me being ‘catfished’ I defend myself because I know the truth… I’d like to move on with my life. I’d like to be let the f**k alone. Not hunted from burners and what not.”

A long standing admiration

In a separate video, Radke expressed how deeply the situation has affected him, particularly given his long standing admiration for Lee.

“You know how hard it is that somebody I grew up listening to like your husband hates my f**king guts now and is convinced that I’m doing some secret weirdo st when I’m not?”

The public fallout follows reports that Radke recently sought a temporary restraining order against Furlan in Los Angeles, a request that was reportedly denied.

For now, the situation remains unresolved and loudly online.
