SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor weighed in on Dave Grohl‘s recent revelation about an affair during his appearance on the Your Mom’s House podcast, hosted by comedian Tom Segura and his wife and fellow comedian Christina Pazsitzky.

When Pazsitzky inquired about Taylor‘s opinion on Grohl recently fathering a child outside his marriage to Jordyn Blum, the singer chose his words cautiously. He first described the situation as “messy” but went on to say that Grohl is one of the nicest people he’s ever known.

“I’ll tell you exactly why they put out a press release — it’s because he wanted to get ahead of it… He knew that if he didn’t say something, somebody else was going to say something,” Corey said.

“I have to remind people that we’re not perfect,” Taylor added. “I’m gonna say something very controversial. This happening does not mean he’s not a nice person, because I happen to know him as a person. It means he’s got f**king issues and he f**ked up [and] he’s not perfect. It is going to be very difficult for his family.”

In a social post issued on September 10, FOO FIGHTERS frontman admitted: “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”

“We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”

Grohl, often hailed as one of the kindest figures in the music industry, shares three daughters with his wife, model and TV producer Jordyn Blum, whom he wed in 2003. His eldest daughter, Violet, is a touring member of the FOO FIGHTERS.
