Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke has warned a fan during one of the band’s recent shows.
In the footage shared on X by a fan, Radke interrupts his own speech to stop a fan from showing up her breasts. The frontman called it sexual harassment. “Raise your hand if someone you know is a f*cking *sshole. Raise- put your shirt back on,” he exclaimed. “This is not an All Time Low concert, put your shirt back on. I swear to God I don’t wanna see your tits. Sexual harassment, for reals. That’s not being an *sshole, that’s being a creep.”
Radke has faced allegations of rape and sexual harassment himself. The accusations came both from different women and rockers. Back in 2015, Radke was accused of assault after a concert in Murray, Utah. The woman has publicly spoken about the incident on social media and in an interview with the New York Daily News.
The frontman later filed a lawsuit against the woman, referred to in the legal documents as ‘Defendant Boswell.’ She claimed that the assault left her with bruises, a jaw injury, and torn throat ligaments.
Years after the incident, Radke responded to the claims of the Monuments singer Andy Cizek. It started after Radke was accused on Twitter of assaulting a woman eight years ago.
“Should we hold him accountable for throwing me against a van and choking me eight years ago or is that too long ago too? please advise,” the user wrote. Radke strongly denied the accusations and defended himself by criticizing the accuser online.
Cizek joined the conversation and caused an ongoing back-and-forth on social media. Radke claimed smaller bands like Cizek’s were using his name for attention. Later, Radke accused Cizek of sexual assault, sharing unverified messages on Twitter. Cizek denied the claims, explaining that any misconduct involved a previous vocalist in his band Makari, not him.
“Dudes in bands for 14 years with 7 albums out playing 300 cap venues empty selling 400 dollars in merch telling me my music sucks, have to switch to false allegations and character attacking, you get more likes talking about me than what your band sells in merch NIGHTLY,” Radke responded to the claims.
Radke has faced legal trouble in the past. He was charged with domestic abuse in 2012 after an ex-girlfriend accused him of physical assault. However, in 2014, those charges were dropped. During a court appearance on May 14, 2014, Radke pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace, and the domestic violence charge was dismissed.
Can we all make the collective decision to stop being freaks at concerts, and stop feeding into the creeps that are in the scene, especially when there’s kids in the crowd and Ronnie Radke has asked countless times for this not to happen 😀 pic.twitter.com/jKHo0mlbl5
