Ronnie Radke DENIES messaging Tommy Lee's wife Brittany Furlan as part of wild catfishing scandal
Tommy Lee 's estranged wife Brittany Furlan has taken to social media to explain what really happened between her and her husband - and how it involved a wild catfishing scandal and rocker Ronnie Radke.
The Motley Crue rocker, 62, and Furlan, 38, reportedly split after six years of marriage due to the rocker's drinking problem.
While sources told TMZ it was 'unclear' if a divorce filing was in the near future, Lee unfollowed Furlan on Instagram amid their ongoing drama and the content creator has been living in a hotel.
Then, in a shocking TikTok video released on Friday, Furlan revealed she had been the victim of catfishing. The influencer told her fans she had been duped and harassed by someone posing as Falling In Reverse frontman Radke, 41.
'I told my husband everything,' the former Vine star announced. 'I said, "I've been talking to whoever I thought this was on Snapchat, he says it's not him. Cool, whatever,"' Furlan said.
Now, Radke is taking to his social media and denying that he ever spoke to Furlan on Snapchat while claiming he ignored her many Instagram direct messages.
In Furlan's original message, she said she was a 'good person,' although she quickly added, 'I'm not a good person for talking to someone while I'm married, [but] I've been going through a lot in my marriage. No excuse, [so] I come clean to my husband.'
She explained that she realized she might not be speaking to the real Radke when she showed up to his old house and he didn't come out.
However, she also asked the real Radke to leave her alone and stop posting about the catfish situation, writing in her TikTok caption: 'I've had enough. He's been harassing me for two weeks. He's been sent three cease and desists and has not listened. For the final time - leave me alone Ronnie.'
She hit out at the claims she was 'stalking' Radke and maintained that her Instagram messages where harmless. 'Go to any of my husband's friends' [profiles], I like all their s**t because I'm supportive,' she said.
'I message f***ing everybody. I'm in everybody's DMs all the time, girls, guys [and] whatever. I love people,' she said about sending him multiple messages he didn't respond to, before announcing: 'You're not special.'
Lee also weighed in with a cryptic 'Whose been catfished?' Instagram Story on Friday.
Then, Radke began sharing his own insight into the wild catfishing scandal, sharing multiple posts with his 351,000 followers. Radke, who was previously arrested for domestic violence and has struggled with drug addiction, consistently denied that he was the one speaking to Furlan on Snapchat and explained it wasn't his real account - and if it was, he would have had more views and followers.
He said he was going to 'clear this up for a final time, because Brittany seems to keep posting implying that I'm the catfish she thinks I'm obsessed with her guys. What a delusional, delusional woman.'
He then showed messages Brittany allegedly sent saying he had been 'obsessed' with her 'for years' as well as messages he's received from Tommy Lee. Both said their lawyers are involved.
Radke shared messages from a woman who goes by Alexa Starr. Starr posted an X (formerly Twitter) thread and claimed she had been talking to the same Snapchat user. Starr received raunchy messages from the person behind the account.

Radke shared messages from the other woman who had been catfished by the fake version of him, who spent $2,000 on plane tickets and got a 'Ronnie is daddy' tattoo on her leg for the man she thought she was speaking to
'I'm not here to attack anymore,' Radke said in response to Furlan's video. 'I don't care about your infidelity with your husband, that is none of my business,' he continued. 'I have done nothing wrong.'
Radke declared he's never responded to Furlan's multiple messages, followed her back, or liked any of her pictures.
He shared a video and said it was 'altered' and sent on Snapchat with the voice changed. He also played the original video, where he was next to his girlfriend and bird on his balcony.
Radke split from wrestler girlfriend Saraya Bevis, formerly known as WWE star Paige, in January 2025. He has since seemingly moved on with musician and model Dana Dentata.
Radke said 'the same account' was talking to 'a different girl' and found it 'notable to share.' He shared screenshots of the account talking to another woman and called it 'irrefutable evidence' that it wasn't him.
Radke shared messages from the other woman who had been catfished by the fake version of him, who spent $2,000 on plane tickets and got a 'Ronnie is daddy' tattoo on her leg for the man she thought she was speaking to.
'That's the third account of a girl... that all have been catfished by this person,' he told his followers.

Highlights from The Associated Press' interview with Stephen King
Stephen King recently spoke to The Associated Press about the new film adaption 'The Life of Chuck," his latest book 'Never Flinch' and other topics. Here are highlights from that conversation. On 'The Life of Chuck' Over time, King has developed a personal policy in how he talks about the adaptations of his books. 'My idea is: If you can't say something nice, keep your mouth shut,' he says. Every now and then, King is such a fan of an adaptation that he's excited to talk about it. That's very much the case with 'The Life of Chuck,' Mike Flanagan's new adaptation of King's novella of the same name published in the 2020 collection 'If It Bleeds.' 'The Life of Chuck,' which Neon releases in theaters Friday (nationwide June 13), there are separate storylines but the tone-setting opening is apocalyptic. The internet, like a dazed prize fighter, wobbles on its last legs before going down. California is said to be peeling away from the mainland 'like old wallpaper." And yet in this doomsday tale, King is at his most sincere. 'The Life of Chuck,' the book and the movie, is about what matters in life when everything else is lost. There is dancing, Walt Whitman and joy. 'In 'The Life of Chuck,' we understand that this guy's life is cut short, but that doesn't mean he doesn't experience joy,' says King. 'Existential dread and grief and things are part of the human experience, but so is joy.' On his life as a moviegoer So vividly drawn is King's fiction that it's offered the basis for some 50 feature films. For half a century, since Brian De Palma's 1976 film 'Carrie,' Hollywood has turned, and turned again, to King's books for their richness of character, nightmare and sheer entertainment. He's also a moviegoer, himself. 'I love anything from 'The 400 Blows' to something with that guy Jason Statham,' King says, speaking by phone from his home in Maine. 'The worst movie I ever saw was still a great way to spend an afternoon. The only movie I ever walked out on was ' Transformers.' At a certain point I said, 'This is just ridiculous.'' On contemporary anxieties The kind of climate change disaster found in 'The Life of Chuck,' King says, often dominates his anxieties. 'We're creeping up little by little on being the one country who does not acknowledge it's a real problem with carbon in the atmosphere,' King says. 'That's crazy. Certain right wing politicians can talk all they want about how we're saving the world for our grandchildren. They don't care about that. They care about money.' On social media, King has been a sometimes critic of President Donald Trump, whose second term has included battles with the arts, academia and public financing for PBS and NPR. Over the next four years, King predicts, 'Culture is going to go underground.' In 'Never Finch,' Holly Gibney is hired as a bodyguard by a women's rights activist whose lecture tour is being plagued by mysterious acts of violence. In the afterward of the book, King includes a tribute to 'supporters of women's right to choose who have been murdered for doing their duty.' 'I'm sure they're not going to like that,' King says of right-wing critics. On 'Never Flinch' King, 77, has now written somewhere around 80 books, including the just released 'Never Flinch.' The mystery thriller brings back King's recent favorite protagonist, the private investigator Holly Gibney, who made her stand-alone debut in 'If It Bleeds.' It's Gibney's insecurities, and her willingness to push against them, that has kept King returning to her. 'It gave me great pleasure to see Holly grow into a more confident person,' King says. 'She never outgrows all of her insecurities, though. None of us do.' 'Never Flinch' is a reminder that King has always been less of a genre-first writer than a character-first one. He tends to fall in love with a character and follow them through thick and thin. 'I'm always happy writing. That's why I do it so much,' King says, chuckling. 'I'm a very chipper guy because I get rid of all that dark stuff in the books.'

The struggling comedian who invented the podcast – for better and worse
In the late summer of 2009, a struggling comedian, actor and radio host sneaked back into the building of his former employer, Air America, and surreptitiously used one of their studios to record an interview with fellow stand-up Jeffrey Ross. It was, said Marc Maron this week, a 'Hail Mary pass', one last shot at keeping his flagging career alive. It worked. Almost 16 years and 1,648 episodes later, WTF with Marc Maron is coming to an end, with the podcast wrapping up around the time of its anniversary on September 1. Maron's Hail Mary not only revived his career – it invented a genre and sparked the podcasting boom. WTF is considered to be the 'OG' of long-form interview podcasts (hate long, rambling interview podcasts? Blame Maron) and inadvertently created many of the podcasting tropes we now know all too well – the introspective intro, the hyper-informal interview, the incongruous advertisements read out by the host. Where Serial (which began five years after WTF) created the true-crime podcast genre, WTF drew up the blueprint for the interview podcast. Adam Buxton, considered to be the UK's podcast godfather, was directly inspired by Maron to begin his own podcast in 2015.. From humble beginnings, WTF has become a cultural phenomenon, reaching 55m listeners a year, winning awards and even interviewing a president, Barack Obama, when that sort of thing was unheard of for a major politician. (Obama made a special visit to Maron's garage in the suburbs of Los Angeles to record the episode.) In 2022, Maron's interview with Robin Williams was chosen to be preserved by the Library of Congress. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Marc Maron (@marcmaron) Breaking the news on the podcast to his guest, comedian John Mulaney, on Monday, Maron mused on the beginnings of WTF. 'When this started no one knew what a podcast was. I was coming out of a horrendous divorce, I was wanting to figure out how to continue living my life, but things were not looking good for me. When we started this thing, all we knew was that we'd do it every Monday and Thursday. There was no way to make money. We didn't know how to build an audience.' With producer Brendan McDonald, he figured it out, and as he said to Mulaney, he has interviewed 'everyone'. Al Gore, Mel Brooks, Quentin Tarantino, Hugh Grant, Keith Richards, Julia-Louis Dreyfus, Mavis Staples – what started as a niche concern for US stand-ups became a 'must-do' for all celebrities. Maron's low ebb in 2009 - the divorce, losing his job, stand-up career failing to hit the heights of his peers – became his greatest gift and the show has become famed (and, for some listeners, feared) for its gargantuan opening monologues, in which Maron will riff on whatever is in his head. This scrappy, confrontational, neurotic, angry, worn-out, misanthropic Jewish comedian found himself unloading all his problems, including his drug and alcohol addictions, to the listener. His honesty was not just bracing, it was inspiring. His listeners bonded with him. 'I think the first hundred episodes are me asking celebrities to come over and help me with my problems,' he said. Crucially, this defenceless approach caused his interviewees to open up. The show threw out the traditional conventions of the interview. Maron does little or no research into his guests, rarely plans any questions in advance and talks as much as, and sometimes more than his guests. 'I just want to have conversations,' he has said. Refreshingly, Maron never flatters his guests and, at times, is openly hostile towards them (the show features a lot of score-settling from the world of US stand-up comedy). Part of the charm is Maron's determinedly lo-fi set-up – after using and abusing his Air America door-pass for the first few episodes, the podcast recording moved to a desk in Maron's garage in Los Angeles, where it remains to this day. Maron has the knack to completely disarm his interviewees. 'People who come into his garage feel like they can unburden themselves,' McDonald once said. Recording twice a week, every week, for 16 years (Maron has never taken time off and even records when he is touring or on holiday) means that every wrinkle of Maron's life is documented in WTF. In 2015, he interviewed the director Lynn Shelton (and again in 2018), who he would later begin a relationship with. Shelton died aged 54 from leukemia in 2020 – she had only been ill for one week. In true Maron fashion, he kept podcasting, and kept talking. Speaking to Mulaney, Maron wasn't shy about taking credit for his seminal contribution to podcasting, but he also recognised the negative side. 'I partly feel like I've done an amazing thing for the culture,' he said, 'but I also partly feel like I've released the Kraken.' The Kraken being the mind-boggling saturation of podcasting, with seemingly every minor celebrity having their own warts-and-all podcast. Maron can also take some of the credit/blame for Maga favourite Joe Rogan, whose own podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, began a few months after Maron's. Rogan's podcast is now the most popular in the US. (Rogan was a guest on WTF in 2011 – they didn't get along too well.) WTF's listening figures have waned in recent years, with the show rarely troubling the podcast charts (as pointed out by Rogan), but the show still attracts the biggest stars – David Cronenberg, Ryan Coogler, Ariana Grande, Demi Moore, Erin Brockovich, Mike Leigh and Adrien Brody have all been on this year. The show's farewell tour will surely feature some impressive names (a return for Obama perhaps?), with Maron hinting this week that it might finally tempt some who have previously turned the podcast down. Many listeners will be bereft, but Maron is philosophical. 'It's OK for things to end,' he said in his intro this week. 'This began when there were no podcasts – and now there is nothing but podcasts. We had a great run. It's just time, folks.' The five best episodes of WTF with Marc Maron 1. Robin Williams (episode 67, 2010 Notable because, four years before his death, the actor talks openly about suicide, but there is so much more to the conversation than that. You get every side of Williams here - manic, hilarious, crude, sad, defeated, upbeat. A remarkable interview. 2. Louis CK (Episodes 111 & 1112, 2010) Maron's willingness to haul his private life onto the podcast was perhaps best seen in this double-episode with CK, in which the two comedians reveal they used to be close friends but had fallen out. And then, slowly, across the podcast, the old pals find each other again. Slightly tainted, of course, by the recent allegations against CK. 3. Gallagher (episode 145, 2011) Not everyone will be familiar with the watermelon-smashing cult US comedian, but he was a legend on the American comedy scene. Maron, however, opens up a discussion about Gallagher's frequently homophobic and racist material. Following some robust conversation, Gallagher storms out – Maron's first and only walkout. 4. Barack Obama (episode 613, 2015) The interview that put rocket fuel in the whole medium of podcasting, with the sitting US president willing to tackle everything from the Charleston massacre and gun laws to race relations in America and his own legacy. His use of the n-word made headlines. 5. Eve Ensler (episode 1028, 2019) An extraordinary, difficult conversation with Eve Ensler (writer of The Vagina Monologue) about her recent book The Apology, which tackled the violence and sexual abuse she was subjected to by her own father. At one point both interviewee and interviewer are in tears, unable to talk.
