Ronnie Radke wants to expose Austin Carlile’s lies.
“CAPTION THIS FOR A CHANCE TO WIN. The comment with the most likes in 24 hours will win Beats Studio Pro,” Of Mice & Men’s label Rise Records wrote on Instagram, sharing a photo of the band.
“Austin Carlile is a compulsive liar that had non consensual s*x with an underage girl and ran to Brazil to escape trouble and is now a youth pastor to more kids do I win?” Radke wrote in a now-deleted comment.
This isn’t the first time the singer slammed Carlile. Last year in July, Radke tweeted a ‘funny’ story about Carlile. Ronnie said Carlile lied about him and claimed he betrayed him. He explained, “Funny story: Austin Carlile, Warped Tour 2012, tried to befriend me; he said we were merch brothers bragging about how well we were both selling in merch, and after he said that, it immediately made me not want to ever speak to him again. So I didn’t.”
Radke continued, “In between this and the next Warped tour, we were playing the following years… Austin Carlile proceeded to tell insane lies, like ‘I was his best friend’ and ‘I betrayed him.’ Austin was known for being a pathological liar. For example, he once drove to a mansion to take a picture in front of it to make it seem like it was his house. Lying for no reason.”
After hearing the lies Austin spread about him, Ronnie confronted the singer and said, “Flash forward to warped 2014-15, ish I’m headed to the stage with my ears in. I saw Austin carLIAR standing in the catering line, so I stopped, and I told him that if he ever said another lie about me, I was going to break his jaw. He apologized to me.”
“The same tour of Mice & Men had technical issues and needed help, so I volunteered to give them our ears; they were so late to the stage they played three songs, but it’s funny cause Austin was using my wireless pack that said ‘Radke’ on it. They never once thanked me for helping him,” Radke added.
Ronnie explained how he ended all ties with Austin by saying, “Flash forward to around 2021, he DM’s me and tells me God has told him to message me. All the way from Brazil, where he fled for some reason, I blocked him. There’s more I won’t say that’s way worse. I’ll just put it in my book and reissue it.”
Carlile faced accusations of sexually assaulting multiple women over several years. Alternative Press investigated and interviewed over 10 alleged victims. They planned to publish an article but decided not to due to legal reasons, which caused controversy.
They stated on social media that they do not support the accusations. In 2020, the magazine’s founder explained why the article wasn’t published. Carlile denied the accusations against him.
