Rumor RoundUp: Motley Crue Edition

I don't usually do posts like this because I think it is tacky but... the fact that two separate Motley Crue members have relationship issues spread across the internet today is wild to me. First, I am shocked that Sixx Sense (the radio station) founded by Motley bassist Nikki Sixx is sharing the story - but apparently Vince Neil and his longtime girlfriend have split.

Then, news that Motley drummer Tommy Lee and his wife of six years Brittany Furlan are on the outs. Apparently, the couple have been fighting over Tommy's drinking. Motley has shows coming up, so I hope Tommy can get it together for his own health and the band.

But wait, there's a twist here! Apparently Brittany was being catfished by someone impersonating Ronnie Radke, the singer of Falling In Reverse. Like this is all insane. Social media sucks.

To paraphrase a worn out phrase, following these relationships is like watching Sleaze dry.

I see what you did there, Fletch! Hahaha. That did make me chuckle. And I needed a laugh after reading through this twaddle.

In the interest of not taking the easy road here, I will say this: I miss the days when we couldn't always peek behind the curtain and see these artists, warts and all (and everything else!). Sure, the Gerri Miller universe was a curated fantasy. But, oftentimes, I'd prefer to live the dream if the other option is this sort of misery.

To be clear, my opinion of individual members, past and present, in MC matters little here (besides, most of you know those opinions already). But this sorta' stuff is vile. And I stopped making posts about this detritus several years ago because, by buying into the clicks, you end up being less than you can be. At least that is how I feel and at most that is all I am going to say.

I hope everyone has a good Sunday.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of fellows!
