I know the breakup has hurt two people, but the Tommy Lee and Brittany Furlan situation makes me laugh every time I read about it. Talk about embarrassing.

If you didn't know, Brittany Furlan is an internet personality who was, until recently, married to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee. However, her eye started to wander when she started talking to Falling in Reverse singer Ronnie Radke.

Things got so intense with Furlan and Radke that she had to say something to Lee. This was no longer just a little online flirtation. She was falling for the singer. Brittany Furlan came clean to Tommy Lee and admitted that she was e-dating someone else now, and it might be the end for them.

There were a few other reasons thrown in, one being Lee's drinking, but after six years of marriage, they called it off. Brittany didn't mind, she had the waiting arms of Ronnie Radke. Or so she thought.

In a scam that I thought only elderly ladies and the mentally infirm fell for, Brittany Furlain had been duped. She had never been chatting to Radke at all, it was someone pretending to be him, stringing her along.

Now, she's embarrassed, and Radke is confused. But this does amount to identity theft, I guess, and so the FBI is getting involved.

The Real Ronnie Radke And Brittany Furlan Never Gonna Get Together

Brittany Furlan said that she spoke to Tommy Lee when she found out. "I told my husband everything. I said, 'I've been talking to whoever I thought this was on Snapchat, he says it's not him.' ... I [came] clean," she said in a TikTok video.

She's got to live with the fact that she was tricked, too. "This is embarrassing for me, embarrassing for my husband. This whole f-king thing is embarrassing," she admitted.

As a result, Ronnie Radke is working with the FBI to get to the bottom of the person who stuck a wedge between Brittany Furlan and Tommy Lee. "The FBI is now involved. It's a felony. It's a crime." He continued, "It's pretty serious, I guess." He said, "I sent them some stuff. They're gonna find out who it is. I want to prove to everyone it's not me."

But, when asked if there ever could be a future with him and Furlan, he shot her down. He said he was "not attracted to" her. Despite Brittany Furlan believing she had chatted to him, he had "never spoken to (her) once."

Awkward.
