Ronnie Radke has come to the defense of Andy Biersack amid a wave of criticism directed at the Black Veil Brides frontman. In a post on X, Radke expressed confusion over the sudden backlash, calling Biersack “a good dude” and suggesting that the negativity stems from “bad people” concerned with his moral compass.
The criticism began after Biersack tweeted about the ease of joining in on public discussions to feel superior, which led to a flurry of negative comments about him. One user remarked on Biersack’s perceived downfall, to which he replied with a hint of irony, noting the scrutiny he and his family have faced for years.
Radke also addressed criticism of his own past, defending Biersack’s support for him despite the controversy surrounding Radke. He emphasized the importance of being an ally, suggesting that the music community should focus on supporting each other instead of tearing down artists for their choices.
Biersack, in his responses, acknowledged the mixed reactions to his stage looks and the online scrutiny, maintaining that he prefers to approach the negativity with humor. The exchanges highlight the ongoing complexities within the music scene regarding public perception and support among artists.
