During a recent appearance on “The Tin Foil Show,” Bad Wolves frontman Tommy Vext discussed some of the bigger issues in his life these days, including dealing with accusations of domestic violence leveled against him this year by an ex, and being “cancelled” for sharing his political beliefs.
Vext denies the allegations leveled by his ex-girlfriend, Whitney Johns, saying, “I’m currently engaged in an attempted #metoo campaign. And I’ve been going through an extortion attempt for 10 months. I dated a girl. I didn’t know a lot of things about her. She had a history of doing certain things. You know she was not well. She was physically violent, and our relationship was toxic and I was like, ‘see you later.'”
Vext claims that Johns became extremely angry and jealous when he shared a photo on stage during a concert in Europe of one of his female friends, a doctor, who had been murdered by an obsessed ex-boyfriend. He said, “I printed out her picture and I went on stage and I gave this speech about domestic violence. And that you know, if you’re in a domestic violence situation you have to leave. And I came home, and my old lady punched the shit out of me for posting a picture with another woman who was my dead friend and that was pretty much the end of it. And we tried to be friends after that, it was not possible. And like most guys I kept moving and I started seeing somebody else. And that’s when the craziness started.”
Vext claims a series of fake police reports were made by Johns, who also took out a restraining order, but then allegedly offered to “walk away” for $20,000, which was upped to $40,000 and then $60,000.
He said, “We are engaged in a civil dispute right now. So we’ve been in trial, we have one one more day. And it’s not looking good for her, so she went to the press. And I mean the things that I’m accused of is like, you know, it’s like attempted murder shit, like beating and strangulation. Things that like you know I’m 260. I’m 6’1. Like, if you’re a guy and I and I did this to you, you’d die.”
Vext also spoke about the backlash he suffered after publicly supporting Donald Trump. He said, “I had a book deal for a lot of money; I lost a book deal, I’ve lost endorsements because I’ve come out and supported a candidate. I’ve been, like, you know, blocked at radio stations because of my political views. Cancel culture is out there and they are like really running at me . . . I’ve been canceled . . .”
