Last month, TMZ reported that Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee and his wife Brittany Furlan were separated. At first, it was alleged that Lee’s drinking was to blame for the split, but it was later revealed that Furlan was corresponding with a person who was pretending to be Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke. The whole situation went viral when Radke correctly called out Furlan for the mistake.
On an episode of her podcast, Furlan shared further details on how she fell for the scam. She said that loneliness and troubles with her marriage led her to seeking attention elsewhere. “I reached a place of loneliness in my marriage where I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I got to a point where I was just so incredibly lonely and we were very disconnected for a very long time,” she said.
“And when this person reached out to me on Snapchat, I took the bait. I think coming from a place of desperate loneliness, you kind of grasp onto any affection that anyone gives you or attention or whatever.”
Furlan went on to say that the Radke impersonator knew several personal details about her life. “They knew the ins and outs of my relationship, which is really weird,” she said. “They were like, ‘I know you’ve been with your husband for a while, I know he drinks a lot.’ They’ve talked to me about this stuff.”
Furlan did seem to imply that she and Lee are working on a future together. “All of this happening has weirdly brought us closer together, which is really strange,” she said. “I think we were finally faced with the reality of, what would life really be like without each other?”
She added: “We’ve been through this situation similarly before,” and also said she’s had to forgive Lee for things he did in the past. The full episode of the podcast can be viewed below.
