Awful. Love the band. Have spoken with MJ lots via Instagram over the years and he always seemed lovely, so this is a real shock. Uergh.

MJ has denied it.

The rest of the band have done the right thing here, commendably quickly and decisively.

Yeah, he’s been hoist by his own petard here. Given the stance he’s taken on things like this over the years the band couldn’t do anything but. I half expected him to put his hands up and admit culpability but of course no one ever does.

i really like this years release a lot, this is disappointing.false allegiance to victims rights for fame and profits is gross but not unheard of (see E. Schneiderman, i guess?). it’s, uh, not nearly as bad as sex assault so let’s not get it twisted.i hate the venue of this “court” but i will take the extraordinary claims to be true, and i hope the victim is getting reliable help.

Some happy news that had slipped by me — the rest of the band thankfully carried on without him with other members and are called Holodrum:https://holodrum.bandcamp.com/music
