They say ‘There’s no such thing as bad publicity,’ and for some, that proves to be just right. There are many occasions where celebrities made millions out of controversies and had their piece of the spotlight while others publicly condemned what they did.
Sid Vicious, for instance, was quite the sensation for the media in the mid-to-late 70s. Vicious didn’t necessarily make millions from his controversies. But he built such a reputation that, even decades after his overdose, he’s an anti-establishment figure, a model punk, and a piece of popular culture.
So… talking about artists who faced public backlash, we can mention Ronnie Radke and Falling In Reverse since both got the spotlight over controversies. Radke and the band have a cult following among their fanbase, but you can also see doubts over their music and Radke’s conflicts.
Here is why Ronnie and Falling In Reverse got so much hatred with brutally honest answers.
Some Fans Agree With Haters Over One Song
First things first, everyone has their own taste when it comes to music. So, it’s natural when some say they hate Radke and the band because they didn’t like their music. But it seems that some Falling In Reverse fans also shared the haters’ opinions when it comes to one particular song from the band.
Some people, including Radke’s fanbase, hate the Falling In Reverse song ‘Bad Girls Club.’ This song is the black sheep of their discography. However, these aren’t the only reasons why people hated Ronnie. The singer also makes the headlines with his controversies.
Radke’s Controversial Past
Radke faced numerous accusations from domestic abuse to assault over the years. He reportedly appealed in those cases, and the charges were dropped. Things don’t end there, though.
Radke would kick fans out of Falling In Reverse shows because they wear his former band Escape The Fate’s shirts. He also threw mic stands into the crowd and injured multiple fans.
Many criticize his right-wing political views and various rage fits on Twitter. Others state that he has an enormous ego. But let’s be honest, that’s just your usual rocker.
FIR fans defend Ronnie by saying his tough childhood is the reason behind these, though others say the singer’s past can’t justify his actions.
These days, Radke spends most of his time creating feuds with other artists like Sebastian Bach and Chad Kroeger. So, he still makes the headlines for weeks, and who can resist that?
