Radke claimed that whoever ran the fake TikTok account had committed a 'felony,' and he added that it was 'pretty serious.' When he was asked if he had any knowledge that an account may have been impersonating him, he admitted to seeing multiple 'Ronnie Radke accounts' on social media sites, but he said he didn't put much stock in them. 'It's very obvious that [the accounts are] not — you can obviously tell that [they are] not real,' he said, explaining that the possibility that an account with his name was sophisticated enough to fool Brittany had taken him by surprise. Ronnie admitted that he first learned of the scandal when he received a 'very upset' message from Tommy Lee, but he thought the drummer was just 'pranking' him at first. Although he told Tommy, 62, that he wasn't behind the account, he said the hair metal rocker was 'adamant' that he was responsible, so he began investigating the account on his own. He claimed that he learned that a handful of women may have been duped by the account, and he claimed that one woman 'flew from Canada to Indianapolis' as the result of deception, though it's unclear exactly how he may have acquired that information. The performer added that the 'crazy thing' about the whole scheme is that he has allegedly 'never spoken' to Brittany in his life. Ronnie claimed he wasn't aware that any accounts were 'seriously' impersonating him, and he said he had given the FBI evidence to help them investigate; pictured with Saraya 'Paige' Bevis in 2019 He said he learned of the scandal via messages from Tommy, who was 'adamant' that he was behind the TikTok account.

'I'm a huge fan of f***ing Mötley Crüe and Tommy,' he declared, before offering apologies to the drummer. Ronnie added that he wanted to 'prove' that he wasn't involved in the catfishing scandal, and he said he had already send in some evidence to the FBI to assist in their investigation, though he didn't share what those details were.

Tommy Lee's wife admits being catfished while living separately from rocker amid marriage troubles
Brittany Furlan is speaking out about her rumored split from Mötley Crüe rocker Tommy Lee. On Saturday, the comedian took to TikTok to release a lengthy video claiming she was catfished online by someone impersonating Falling in Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke. Her video came after TMZ reported that Furlan and Lee, 62, had been living separately. She also accused the real Radke, 41, of going public with the drama after Lee accused him of sleeping with her. People magazine reported the video also came after Radke alleged, in a series of Instagram Stories posts, that the comedian was catfished by someone pretending to be him and Lee, 62, threatened him over the situation. "Obviously, I'm in a hotel right now. I've been going through a really tough time in my marriage, which was none of anyone's f-----g business, but he's made it everyone's business," Furlan said in her TikTok post, referring to Radke. According to the 38-year-old, she previously received messages from someone she believed was Radke at the time. Then the Snapchat user "started trying to seduce me." Furlan claimed she didn't save any of the messages because she "didn't want to be shady" and is "in a vulnerable place." "He says this isn't him. That's fine, whatever. I don't give a f---," said Furlan. She also showed alleged Instagram DMs between herself and Radke before asking him to leave her alone. "It's a catfish, cool. I got catfished. Why are you still harassing me?" said Furlan. "Why are you sending me hundreds of messages? Why are you trolling me? I don't give a f---. I unfollowed you. Leave me alone. That's it." Furlan went on to corroborate Radke's claim that Lee confronted him over the catfish situation. "Basically, I told my husband everything," Furlan explained. "I said, you know, I've been talking to whoever I thought this was on Snapchat — he says it's not him, cool, whatever — 'cause I'm a good person. I mean, I'm not a good person for talking to someone while married. I've been going through a lot in my marriage. No excuse, whatever." "I come clean to my husband. My husband freaks out, messages him. That's how this all started," said Furlan. On May 16, Lee acknowledged the ongoing drama in an Instagram post with a caption that read, "Who's been catfished?" Furlan concluded her video by asking Radke to stop discussing both her marriage and the catfish drama publicly. "You've blown up my whole life on social media," said the former Vine star. "This is embarrassing for me, embarrassing for my husband. This whole f-----g thing is embarrassing. I've been going through struggling with s--- at home. I'm in a f-----g hotel. Like, leave us the f--- alone, bro. Like, if you want people to be obsessed with you, like, I don't know, get another f-----g hobby, dude. This is just some serious narcissist s---. I'm done. Anyone can think of it what they will. All good." Furlan's video was also captioned, "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." Fox News Digital reached out to Lee, Furlan and Radke for comment. Radke has been adamant that it was a catfish, not him, who was messaging Furlan. He claimed that "the only reason" he went public was because Lee "will not stop yelling at me and stuff." "Imagine you grow up looking up to somebody like Tommy Lee, and then all of a sudden out of nowhere he goes, 'You're f-----g my wife,'" said Radke. "And I'm like, 'What? I have no idea what you're talking about.'" Posts by Radke and Furlan indicated that lawyers are involved on both sides. "I have to clear this up for the final time because Brittany seems to keep posting, implying that I'm the catfish," said Radke in one of his videos where he attempts to clear his name. "She thinks I'm obsessed with her, guys," he said. "What a delusional, delusional woman… The truth always prevails." "Guys, I'm not here to attack anymore, but I'm just asking this woman to please stop trying to spin the narrative," said Radke. "I don't care about your infidelity with your husband. That is none of my business. What I don't stand for is you literally trying to make me the bad guy. I have done nothing wrong." WATCH: DAVID CHOKACHI REMEMBERS TOMMY LEE'S JEALOUS RAGE ON SET OF 'BAYWATCH' TMZ previously reported that Furlan and Lee's split was over his alleged drinking. While the couple is no longer living together, they're reportedly still in communication.
