Tommy Lee and Brittany Furlan Lee‘s marriage is under strain.
The Mötley Crue rocker, 62, and his comedian-podcaster wife, 38, made headlines last week after Furlan revealed that she’d been seduced by a catfish posing as Ronnie Radke, frontman of the rock band Falling in Reverse.
Now, a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE that the pair are taking some time apart.
“They weren’t getting along,” the source says. They haven’t been getting along, and she left and went to a hotel. She went of her own volition. She took her s—. They got in a fight, and she [left].”
The source adds that Lee “got worked up” and called “the guy,” referring to Radke, who said on social media that he’d taken the situation with Furlan public because Lee allegedly “would not stop yelling at me.”

“Tommy just couldn’t get any peace and quiet. It’s drama, drama, drama [in their relationship],” the source adds.
Reps for Lee and Furlan did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
The couple met in 2017 on the celebrity dating app Raya, and married two years later. Lee said in the Netflix documentary The American Meme that he’d been following Furlan on Vine for years, and had always found her “funny, and stupid and cute and beautiful.”
Though the pair praised one another over the years, with Furlan telling PEOPLE in 2023 that the drummer was “the first guy that treats me so well,” tensions flared last week when TMZ reported that the two had been living separately amid concerns over Lee’s alleged drinking.
Radke, 41, then alleged in a series of Instagram Stories that Furlan had been catfished by someone pretending to be him on Snapchat. He also claimed that Lee had threatened him over the situation, though he claimed to have “no idea” what the star was talking about.
Furlan explained the situation further in a TikTok shared on May 17, in which she admitted to exchanging messages with someone she thought was Radke amid a “tough time” in her marriage.

“Obviously, I’m in a hotel right now. I’ve been going through a really tough time in my marriage, which was none of anyone’s f—— business, but he’s made it everyone’s business,” Furlan said in the TikTok, referring to Radke.
She went on to explain that after receiving messages from someone she believed to be Radke at the time, the Snapchat user “started trying to seduce me.”
The This Is the Worst podcast host said she did not save any messages because she “didn’t want to be shady,” and said she’d come clean to Lee and told him “everything,” which prompted his call to Radke.
“[Radke] says this isn’t him. That’s fine, whatever. I don’t give a f—,” Furlan continued in her TikTok. She then showed alleged Instagram DMs between herself and the real Radke before asking him to leave her alone. “It’s a catfish, cool. I got catfished. Why are you still harassing me? Why are you sending me hundreds of messages? Why are you trolling me? I don’t give a f—. I unfollowed you. Leave me alone. That’s it.”
