Falling in Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke recently took a shot at what he describes as the toxic culture of social media users who mock or insult recently deceased celebrities like Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne.
In a series of tweets, Radke had condemned the behavior of those who use celebrity deaths for engagement, clout, or cheap entertainment, without directly naming anyone.
However, the timing of the posts has led some fans to believe he may have been referencing Ozzy Osbourne’s recent passing. He said:
“Friendly reminder: the people wishing death on celebrities and posting hateful stuff about ones that recently passed away for likes and attention are the same people that call me a bad person,” Radke wrote on Twitter.
His remarks were sharp and unfiltered, aligning with his long-standing outspokenness on digital culture.
In a follow-up tweet, he criticized what he sees as a broader cultural rot fostered by social platforms:
“Delete this app off your phone, 1 month later download it and spend 5 minutes scrolling. The absolute bottom of the barrel fucking LOSERS on here. Your personality is posting hate to people with more money than you’ll ever have—that’s what this app is.”
Radke didn’t mention Ozzy Osbourne by name, the timing of his tweets, posted shortly after the legendary Black Sabbath frontman’s death, suggests the comments may be, at least in part, a reaction to the online backlash and toxic commentary that often follows celebrity deaths.
