Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke addressed online impersonation concerns through a video on Instagram.
The musician voiced his frustration about fake accounts deceiving his fans. He specifically addressed a case involving someone who believed they had maintained a relationship with him for several years.
“I have to make a video about something that I feel like very obvious. But there’re a lot of gullible people out there… I’m sorry but I feel like some of you guys deserved it. Come on dude. That’s not me,” Radke said.
He demonstrated the deception by showing evidence of fraudulent communication.
“That’s not me,” he continued, referring to fake emails. “E-mail address say ‘Ronnie Radke Music4.’ That’s not me. That’s literally all the other people who’re trying to be like me. You’ve had a fake relationship with me since 2021 and you didn’t [release]? Are you kidding me?”
Radke issued a clear warning about his online presence.
“So no, I don’t have a Snapchat. No, I’m not e-mailing any of you guys. I’m not DMing any of you guys. If you’re sending this people money or you’re thinking I’m in a relationship with you, I hate to break it to you but you’re [crazy]. Please stop. I cannot believe I even have to make this video.”
This recent incident further complicates the Falling In Reverse frontman’s history with fan interactions.
Reporting from Metal Head Zone revealed Radke’s controversial history with fans. He had previously ejected concert attendees for wearing merchandise from his former band, Escape The Fate.
His social media presence has generated significant public attention. His online activities frequently result in heated exchanges with fans and fellow artists.
Physical confrontations have occurred at his shows. Multiple fans suffered injuries from thrown microphone stands during these incidents.
This latest warning about fake accounts shows Radke’s shift in approach. He has moved from his typical confrontational online presence to actively protecting his fanbase from scammers.
