Vinyl Thread!💃🏻 Infamous 10 year anniversary edition- Motionless In White

A trillion dollars could solve virtually every problem. Any problem at all. But instead it’s all just going to Some Guy

What if we were two gay rats kissing in the gay rat taxidermy dome

Wanted to share an update on the situation Over the past few days, Anthony @AntDarkDivine reached out and spent several hours speaking with those of us directly involved. I can only speak for myself, but we had a very long and honest conversation. He acknowledged the ways I was failed & the harm it caused, the impact it had on me personally & professionally, and where things should have been handled differently. He took genuine accountability for those failures, apologized for the way I was treated, and gave me the opportunity to finally be heard that I wasn’t given previously. While I can’t change what happened, I do appreciate the time & willingness to listen and I hope they grow from it. There are still other conversations & actions that need to happen, so I don’t want to speak for anyone else’s experience, but I can say that on my end I feel comfortable putting this to rest and moving forward. Based on the convos that have happened I am choosing to trust that the proper steps will be taken to ensure situations like this are handled better in the future. I hope it encourages artists/crew/mgmt/fans alike to take concerns seriously, communicate better, and approach situations like these with more emotional intelligence and care because it happens more often than you think, and it shouldn’t. Please stop sending hate to anyone involved. You’re allowed to have your opinions, but continuing to attack people & drag unrelated parties into this isn’t helping anyone. Please leave Motionless in White out of it as well. I would also appreciate it if I’d stop receiving death threats & messages telling me to end my life. I don’t want this to endlessly circulate. I am tired and ready to move on. I hope everyone involved can do the same.

Just went looking through my wallet to see if I still had a train card & found the last physical ticket for a show that I ever got in 2018

My experience on this app got like at least 20% more peaceful after I blocked the clown & the gf btw

Ashley Horowitz (who is dating Tyler Dennett, who was the previous merch guy) blocked me on everything, every single app imaginable, and went out of her way to submit cropped screenshots of our entire conversation where we were talking about Kai (guitar tech) & Tyler — the CREW I was referring to as “great”. Tyler was also cheating on her the entire time and fucking random people on that tour, they were in a piss poor place in their relationship, and for whatever reason she’s mad I told him to stay out of it, because he, as a man, decided to chime in saying “oh they were always great to me” — and now for whatever reason she’s going out of her way to defame me and ruin my career when we were (allegedly, according to Anthony through Britt) being reached out to and in the process of coming to a resolve to put this behind all of us. These are conveniently cropped portions of the whole conversation. She blocked me on every app before doing this & is using a fake PR email to hurt me. She’s also a partner of a former crew member, a stranger I’ve never met before, I wasn’t going to tell her I was getting screamed at by Robby. I spoke to Shawn Brandon (BVBs media guy at the time) and he turned around and went and told Robby everything I said, which got me screamed at my second to last day. By Robby. Shawn later contacted me on May 28th apologizing for his involvement and for that he told Robby. I’m obviously not going to fucking tell her everything that was happening, for the sake that I didn’t trust she would tell Tyler who would then go back to Robby and cause me to be screamed at again. Common fucking sense? Also, Ashley and I did not speak. She wasn’t around for the 2 years of lies, defamation, legal threats, rumors, etc everything they did to us to keep us quiet. She didn’t witness it at all. Everything I said to her in there is what I said in my original statement(s). Nobody was around to witness what I fucking went through the majority of the time. When Triston saw the little he did, he told me he had my back and it wasn’t right, just to then turn around and lie on my name to people I know and damage my reputation. This band took credit for the decision for me to go home that was initiated by me, I told Josh & Jeremiah I wanted to leave and we equally agreed. Mutual. I have literally said that several fucking times. But the band was never part of that conversation, and I continued to hear and be told several different versions of where I was “fired” attached to false reasoning. Also, keep in mind, this was my first full metal tour I was supposed to be on. I was still pretty “new” to the metal scene & touring, and I accepted staying quiet because I was terrified of Dark Divine’s connections to larger bands (such as MIW) and thought I wouldn’t be believed and I would lose my career entirely. I didn’t even realize how fucking bad everything I went through was until I got home, spoke to my mother more about it, went to therapy, and almost took my life. My mother can attest I called her every single day this was ongoing and she knows every single detail. It wasn’t until a year later when Shevy reached out to me and that was when I made the decision to come forward. Do you seriously think they would admit fault if they didn’t do something wrong? Think about that. They know what they did, not all the details are public, it was succinct and straight to the point (because frankly none of you parasocial fucks are entitled to every detail), and they, finally after 2 years, admitted they were wrong and it should’ve been handled better. They know that. The entire point of this was to warn other people getting their foot in the door in touring to approach with caution. Most male dominated camps don’t actually know how to foster a safe environment for women. At all. I’m sorry you’re all too fucking stupid and parasocial to understand that but I am tired of being lied on when I’ve told nothing but the truth.

The algorithm brought all of the beautiful chubby alt women back to my tl, we’re gonna be okay🙏🏻

Damn girl that’s a really bad look

The problem was never just the drunk sound engineer and the fact that that’s still the only part of this story that gets acknowledged because it’s the easiest to reframe fault for you guys is exactly why people are still talking about it. You guys keep framing this like it was some unfortunate situation with one employee that you “handled the best you could”. Bffr. The sound engineer was ONE situation. It was not the only situation. The issue was how the people who reported the behavior were treated, being brushed off when concerns were raised, and blame being shifted onto the people being affected by it. Threats, intimidation, being told to stay quiet, being portrayed as liars afterward and watching the story change every few months depending on who you were talking to. The issue was also the creative exploitation that people spoke up about. You had a trans creative continually be deadnamed and misgendered after being corrected several times. People know the shit you guys have said and done behind closed doors. There were legal threats, ongoing intimidation, and people being warned to stop speaking about their experiences or “it would be very bad for them”. The issue was watching people try to speak up and then being met with hostility, damage control and attempts to discredit them instead of ACTUAL accountability. And let’s stop pretending nobody knew what was fucking happening. You knew people were uncomfortable, you knew people were reporting issues. Hell I did from day 2. You knew people were being berated (including by your own band members!). You knew people were crying and talking about leaving. You knew people were saying they felt unsafe. The whole “we didn’t know” or “we were just trying our best” angle is fucking ridiculous. At a certain point if multiple people are coming to you saying they’re being mistreated and your response is to minimize it, question it, defend the person doing it, ask people to stay quiet, or threaten the people speaking up, that’s not protecting the people being harmed. That’s protecting the problem and that fucking bothers me. Because now it’s being framed like nobody could have possibly known better. These things are not hard to fucking recognize when they’re happening right in front of you and you guys choose to address it when it’s convenient (aka now that fans are asking you guys to be removed from the tour). It’s clearly a performative PR move. You wanna talk about safety? Let’s talk about it. Let’s talk about the fact that people who came forward were treated like the problem instead of behavior being corrected and addressed. The original purpose of speaking out was never to destroy anyone’s career. It was to warn other women and LGBTQ creatives/crew to approach with caution based on our experiences because it’s clear you guys don’t know how to safely foster an environment for them. These parasocial fucking fans can say whatever they want but they truly have no idea what actually happens outside of the way you guys portray yourselves. There were actual consequences to all of this. I was pushed to the point of nearly taking my own life, some of us nearly ended our careers because of the way we were treated and the way it was handled afterward and STILL continues to be handled. This isn’t some internet drama that got blown out of proportion, we were genuinely harmed by it. It severely pisses me off that it’s gotten reduced to “there was a difficult guy and we learned from it” when it’s still ongoing and he’s out of the picture. The damage wasn’t caused by him. It was caused by the people who watched it happen, dismissed it, protected reputations and then suddenly acted fucking shocked when people eventually started talking about it. The people who lived through it remember it JUST fine. You’re not victims.

space pride ⋆.˚𖦹⋆✮⋆.˚
