Falling In Reverse vocalist Ronnie Radke has taken to social media to call out Red Hot Chili Peppers vocalist Anthony Kiedis. His ire for Kiedis spilled over in a recently deleted video on his TikTok, which found Radke calling out the funk rock icon for admitting to having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old in his 2004 memoir ‘Scar Tissue‘.
In that book, Kiedis, who was thought to be in his twenties around the time, later found out the girl’s age, but admitted to having another sexual encounter despite the revelation. That relationship would later inspire the Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ 1985 track “Catholic School Girls Rule“.
Kiedis found himself on Radke‘s radar after recently taking part in a benefit show for victims of the Californian wildfires. Kiedis‘ Red Hot Chili Peppers bandmate Chad Smith oversaw that benefit set, which found guitarist Brent Woods serving as the house guitarist. Radke previously slammed Woods, alleging the musician had relations with an underage woman.
Outside of that association, and implying that Kiedis and Smith were complicit in any alleged wrongful behavior by Woods, Radke further went off on Kiedis‘ musical abilities, stating (transcribed by theprp.com):
“Anthony Kiedis, stop singing. You sound like f*cking sh*t. You’re f*cking terrible at singing. You’ve never been good at singing. Your whole band f*cking sucks. The only thing good about your band is Flea because he takes his f*cking clothes off and he has his dick hanging from a sock, and he’s pretty good at bass. The rest of your band’s f*cking ass. F*ck you guys.”
After making a series of allegations against Kiedis, Radke directed similar accusations toward Woods, radio host Eddie Trunk, and glam metal guitarist Tracii Guns. At one point during his rant, Radke declared, “If I hear one person say ‘I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers,’ I’m swinging on you.”

not news
Ronnie Radke is a douche who attacks everyone to try and stay relevant. Quit listening to this garbage
When your album didn’t do numbers so you gotta talk shit to stay in the news…
To be fair, though, fuck Anthony and his pedo ass.
Is anyone else tired of hearing anything this dude says or does? Such a d bag, just wanted attention
Weston Cavanaugh not at all, he speaks his mind unlike majority of others who are to scared to speak in general
Weston Cavanaugh I mean he’s speaking out against artists with history and involvement with minors. I have no problem with him putting those freaks on blast.
Gabriel Dykes well if that’s the case I’m with you on that.
Weston Cavanaugh it’s nothing wrong with to speak out the truth. Kids must be protected! And when they are pedophile they need to put in jail!
Weston Cavanaugh not me
He can call me at night to say stuff like this because he is 100% right
Brent woods is a Fucking PEDOPHILE. He’s not attacking. He’s shedding light on the things the industry is trying to hide. Y’all are fucking stupid
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ronnie had been with a few underaged girls. If not, I totally agree with him throwing AK under the bus. It’s well deserved.
Robert Moreira I don’t see Ronnie doing anything like that. Dudes bold but he doesn’t bullshit.
Robert Moreira he’s not a pedo. He’s a good dad and he want to protect kids. He’s doing the right thing
Fuck Radke.
Iggy Pop and Robert Plant did worse.
