This story dates back to 2021, and involves a Poison and Motley Crue fan named Tina. But she wasn’t just any fan. She believed that she was actually friends with Motley Crue Bassist Nikii Sixx and engaged to Poison frontman Brett Michaels. The story starated with the rockstars allegedly reaching out to her on instagram and Tina would admit to Dr. Phil that she did initially question whether it was real or not. She would admit that the imposters sent her the drivers licenses of both nikki sixx and brett michaels. Tina would reveal to Dr. Phil her daughter and herself did a reverse image search online to see if the photos on the licenses had been used in scams before and they hadn’t so for her, it legitimized that she was talking to the real rockstars. Her friend, Vivian however, thought there were some mistakes on the drivers licenses but Tina didn’t agree. On top of that Vivian found it strange that none of the so called rockstars sent her flowers, flew her out, let alone even talked to her on the phone or video chatted.
Things would escalate to where Tina was texting back and forth pretty regularly people she thought were sixx and michaels, despite the fact she never met them in person or talked to them on video chat. Tina had claimed she texted with nikki sixx everyday for six months.

As to why she didn’t talk on video chat or meet either rockstars in person she would tell Dr. Phil that both rockstars were heavily controlled by their management and that their phone cameras weren’t working. There were a few odd times where she claimed to have video chatted for a few seconds, but the quality was pretty bad. Things got even more bizarre, when Tina would tell Dr. Phil, that soon enough Sixx and Michaels were fighting over her. Here’s some snippets of her appearing on dr. phil’s show.
The story took an even crazier turn when Tina admitted she was talking to up to 3 people pretending to be brett michaels. She would still insist one of them was the real brett michaels but none of this seemed like a red flag that she was being duped.
As you can probably imagine, she was a victim of catfishing.. For those who aren’t familiar with the term it’s when people impersonate someone online usually celebrities to get people to send them money or their own personal information. Tina would admit to sending money to both brett michaels and nikki sixx.

Tina would appear on Dr. Phil’s show with one of her friends who knew she was being scammed the whole time, but of course she never listened to her friend.. Dr. Phil would poke holes in Tina’s so called relationship with the rockstars with the real Nikki Sixx and brett michaels also appearing on the show. Nikki Sixx would appear via video chat with his wife telling Dr. Phil and Tina.

"The first time I heard about this was when we talked about it. We wanted to come on together and let you know that whoever you're talking to is not me, and I'm sorry that this is happening to you. Watching the show and how Dr. Phil is trying to break it all down for you, it's heartbreaking for us. It's not fun, it's cruel and you seem like a very nice person. The internet's a tricky place. You have people pretending to be people all the time, and it's really sad when fans get sucked in.".

With the pandemic going on during this time Sixx promised to invite Tina to a meet and greet when Motley Crue’s planned stadium tour with Poison and Def Leppard was planned to resume. Poison frontman Brett Michaels wouldn’t appear live on the show, instead pre-taping a segment warning Tina about imposters. Michaels would tell Dr. Phil and Tina . “These imposters who are going after innocent people like Tina, who is on your show right now, and other people, they will not stop during this pandemic, People are vulnerable. I feel like people right now are isolated … and that is the perfect time for these scumbags, scammers, con artists and imposters to come after innocent people.” It wasn’t the first time michaels had to speak out against people impersonating him saying in a statement released a few weeks earlier
"To all my family, friends and fans, I just wanted to say please be aware of the epidemic going on during this pandemic," he said in the clip. "It is unbelievable
