Tommy Lee and Brittany Furlan are letting the world know where they stand following the drama that surrounded their marriage.
On Saturday, July 19, the Mötley Crüe drummer, 62, shared a selfie with Furlan, 38, on Instagram, explaining in the caption that they are still together.
“Hey fake news we’re not separated or divorced!! Get your shit together!! 🤣,” he wrote.

Furlan also posted an Instagram Story featuring a photo of herself and Lee kissing, set to the song “Layla” by Sophie Woodhouse, according to Page Six.
News that the couple were struggling in their marriage broke in May, as Furlan revealed she was living in a hotel after being catfished by someone pretending to be Ronnie Radke, the lead singer of Falling in Reverse.
During the June 4 episode of her This Is The Worst podcast, Furlan got candid about her marriage, admitting that the catfishing drama “blew up” her life — but also showed her what’s important.
“I will say, all of this happening has weirdly brought us together, which is really strange,” the former Vine star remarked. “Because I think these things happening can either make you [grow] further apart or it can, like, bring you closer together.”
“I think we kind of, like, were finally faced with the reality of like, ‘Oh, what would life really be like without each other?’” she continued.
Furlan also shared that she and the musician have both had to find forgiveness for one another.
“I’m working on my marriage, my husband and I — we’ve been through a lot. There’s a lot of love. We’ve had amazing times, and we’ve had fu**king tough times, as people do,” she confessed. “More tough than I think a lot of people probably would have experienced. But I’ve had to forgive him. This is him having to forgive me and understand.”
She further revealed in the podcast episode that she had resorted to chatting with AI to cope with loneliness.
“I was messaging Chat GPT for affection,” she confessed. “I’m like, ‘It talks to you lovingly, and it says nice things to you, and it’s sweet to you, and if it could kiss me, I would let it.’”
The influencer was vague about what caused her and the rock star’s marital woes to begin with, but a source previously told Star it had to do with Lee’s drinking.
“He knows he needs to get sober to save things,” the source shared. “The question is whether he’s prepared to go that route.”
