Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke has taken to defending Crown The Empire guitarist/vocalist Brandon Hoover online following the allegations of abuse that were made against Hoover last summer. Those allegations saw a woman Hoover was said to have been involved with accusing him of being physically abusive towards her.
Following the allegations, Crown The Empire were ejected from a tour alongside Ice Nine Kills, Black Veil Brides and Motionless In White. Earlier this month, Hoover and his bandmates issued two public statements denying the allegations, while also stating that they had initiated legal action against the accuser. In response to the statements, the woman in question went on to publicly dispute their statements.
In addition to his own present and past interactions with the accuser in question, Radke‘s latest involvement came about on social media this past week, when he called out Motionless In White vocalist Chris Motionless. According to Radke Chris Motionless, was instrumental in having Crown The Empire removed from the aforementioned tour last year after the allegations picked up traction on social media.
Those tweets can be found below:
since Chris motionless kicked crown the empire off the tour before knowing the facts do you guys think Chris should apologize to the band after it is deemed in a court to be untrue proved by irrefutable evidence? loss fucked up mental health? I’m asking a real question?

Radke later followed up with his own experience with the matter:
It’s not the right thing because it’s just false. I see the evidence I got accused of the same thing and had to get a dna test swiped on my genitalia and humiliated to prove I was innocent and sue them for millions and won and I still get called this, It’s not Okay https://t.co/viAXSFblYH

Now Radke has gone public across a lengthy thread of tweets with various screenshots and posts, which appear to showcase private conversations, interactions and more with the woman who accused Hoover. While various accusations are made by Radke about the mental state of the accuser, there were also some allegations fired back against Radke.
As some of the information appears to be confidential (a driver’s license, an apparent psychiatric report and more, it won’t be embedded below for potential legal reasons), but you can find it in the rough order it was posted in over on Twitter:
Amid the above series of posts, Radke also took to further calling out Chris Motionless:
Moving onto Chris motionless kicking crown the empire off tour, and why I tweeted it, the rest of tour and bands apologized to Brandon, Chris ignored DM’s text and everyone’s opinion on looking at evidence before kicking them off to save his own public image.

Imo Chris motionless owes crown the empire a public apology by kicking them from the tour, making a public statement before hearing the true evidence and losing the band money and credibility, to save his own image to his fan base. “You gotta do what you gotta do” does not apply

I will fall on the sword, and die on the proverbial hill that is calling it like I see it. I understand I will hate for giving my opinion, but if I don’t do this who will defend the next guy from false accusations and phony musicians pandering to their fan base ?

Black veil brides and ice nine kills both have shown public support for crown the empire, Chris motionless is the sole reason cte was kicked from the tour, also making a statement to pander to his fan base avoiding any backlash. He owes an apology to Brandon to vindicate him

All you motionless in white fans wanna hold everyone accountable for their actions until it comes to Chris himself. Let’s see how real you are….

I’m not making anyone choose, I’m not even beefing with him, I am defending Brandon. I’ve been in Brandon’s shoes it is seriously traumatizing. he deserves an apology. https://t.co/FDaRYe0IrO
