Falling in Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke posted a video on Instagram announcing he purchased a second house worth $10 million in full, in what appears to be a response to a defamation lawsuit filed against him.
The lawsuit was filed by Jade Cheng, CEO of Superhuman, who accused Radke of libel, slander and emotional distress. The case centers on a lease for a Hollywood Hills home and a series of social media posts in which Radke allegedly made accusations against Cheng.
Radke wrote in the caption of his new post: “Bought my second house in full.”
The lawsuit claimed: “Cheng’s defamation claim is focused on four categories of accusation, that Cheng had chlamydia, was a sex worker, a criminal or that Cheng stole Radke approximately $220,000 payment.”
The post comes as the two parties dispute events connected to the Hollywood Hills property lease and the financial dispute between them.
Cheng leased a $3 million property to Radke in February through her company Superhumn Properties LLC. In videos and social media posts cited in the lawsuit, Radke allegedly referred to Cheng as a “con artist” and “scam artist escort,” accused her of having a sexually transmitted infection and made claims about her gender history. According to the suit, Radke posted a string of videos attacking Cheng by name and made statements about serial fraud and theft, saying he expected to see Cheng in handcuffs and claiming “the feds are coming for you.”
Jade Cheng works as a plant-based expert and food scientist. Radke has 2.5 million followers on YouTube and Facebook.
In 2026, Radke has returned to making music with Falling in Reverse. The band released the new song “Joseph” with special guests Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Serj Tankian of System of a Down, marking the first time the two legendary metal frontmen have appeared on the same song together. “Joseph” is the third track the band has released since the album Popular Monster came out in 2024 and is also Ronnie Radke’s middle name.
Radke purchased a mansion in Hollywood Hills for $9 million in September 2024, months before the lease dispute with Cheng began.
