Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters faced backlash after confessing he had cheated on his wife and had a secret baby. Slipknot’s Corey Taylor has since commented on the situation.
Earlier this month, Grohl revealed on Instagram that he recently became the father of a baby girl outside his marriage to Jordyn Blum. The couple already shares three daughters: Violet, Harper, and Ophelia.
In his post, Grohl expressed his commitment to being a supportive parent to his new daughter. He emphasised his love for his wife and children and his efforts to regain their trust and forgiveness. He also thanked everyone for their consideration towards all the children involved.
The confession triggered a wave of criticism on social media, with some fans feeling personally betrayed. Corey Taylor, however, defended Grohl during an appearance on the Your Mom’s House podcast hosted by Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitzky.
Taylor acknowledged fans’ disappointment due to Grohl’s previously untarnished image. He described the situation as ‘irresponsible’ and ‘messy’ but reminded people that nobody is perfect. Taylor noted Grohl was one of the last celebrities with such a pristine image.
Despite Grohl’s actions, Taylor argued that it doesn’t make him a bad person. He shared his personal knowledge of Grohl, describing him as having issues but still being a good person.
Taylor expressed empathy for Grohl’s family, recognising the difficulties they will face without making any assumptions about the reasons behind Grohl’s actions.
Taylor, reflecting on his own experiences, stated that while Grohl did something terrible, it shouldn’t define his entire character. He believes Grohl issued a statement to preempt others from revealing the scandal.
In Taylor’s eyes, Grohl remains one of the nicest people on the planet.
