Tommy Lee Catfishing Scandal Deepens: FBI Investigates as Brittany Furlan Admits to Being Duped
The drama surrounding Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee and his wife Brittany Furlan has taken a darker turn, with the FBI now investigating an elaborate catfishing scheme that allegedly contributed to their marital breakdown. The scandal involves Ronnie Radke, frontman of Falling in Reverse, who has vehemently denied any involvement after Furlan claimed she was seduced by someone impersonating him on Snapchat.
The Catfishing Scheme Unravels
The controversy erupted when Furlan posted a tearful TikTok video on May 17, admitting she had been communicating with someone she believed was Radke.
“I told my husband everything. I said, ‘I’ve been talking to whoever I thought this was on Snapchat—he says it’s not him, cool, whatever.’ I came clean,” Furlan confessed in the video, which has since gone viral .
She described how the impersonator allegedly sent her deepfake videos and flirtatious messages, including lines like:
“You’re so much hotter than my girlfriend. You’re my dream girl, we can have a secret thing as long as you don’t snitch.
Furlan, now living in a hotel, admitted she didn’t save the Snapchat messages, saying she “didn’t want to be shady.” However, she shared alleged Instagram DMs with the real Radke, accusing him of harassing her after the scam was exposed.
Ronnie Radke’s Defense and FBI Involvement
Radke, who insists he never used Snapchat, provided receipts to prove his innocence, including his phone’s app download history. He also revealed that multiple women have been targeted by the same impersonator.
“The FBI is now involved. It’s a felony. It’s a crime. It’s pretty serious, I guess,” Radke told TMZ, adding that federal agents are working to uncover the culprit.
He also apologized to Lee, saying:
“I f–king love Tommy. I’m a huge fan of Mötley Crüe… Tommy, if you’re watching this, much respect..
Tommy Lee’s Cryptic Social Media Posts
Amid the chaos, Lee has remained mostly silent but dropped hints on Instagram. He teased a new song titled “Stupid Girl” and shared philosophical quotes about love and betrayal, including one from guru Sadhguru:
“If you love somebody, you should have no opinion—that’s what love means..
He also unfollowed Furlan on Instagram, fueling speculation about their split 5.
