Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke has publicly addressed a serious allegation made against him on Instagram. A social media user claimed to have witnessed inappropriate conduct involving a minor.
“You mean you tell me you’ve seen me a 15 year old teenager to my tour bus alone and you didn’t say anything or do anything,” Radke responded in a video statement. “I’ll tell you what man. Date, time, year, city, state, name it. Tell me the name of the kid.”
“And if you can’t proof it in the next 5 minutes brother then you should lose your f—cking job,” he continued. “You guys f—king disgust me. You should lose your job. Everybody I know, find out where this man works. We’re going to call his job. You want to accuse somebody being a pedofile, when they’re not. I defend my honor. I would never do some sh-t like that.”
The social media user had stated in their accusation, “I watch him take my 15 year old friend into the tour bus, just the two of them.”
