A Day to Remember bassist steps down 2021-10-15 by LeDemonLemon | 28 Comments |
Bassist Joshua Woodard of A Day To Remember has announced on October 13 that he is stepping down from the band amidst a resurgence of sexual assault allegations. The allegations originally surfaced in 2020 on Twitter, with Woodard denying the accusations.
In a statement:
"In the summer of 2020, I released a statement addressing false allegations that were made against me online. At the time, with the pandemic and my daughter on the way, I personally decided to pause legal proceedings against the accuser once the post was removed.
These accusations have unfortunately resurfaced within the last few days, and I must act accordingly. It is not fair to my bandmates and brothers to be attached to or targeted because of any of this, so I have made the decision to step down from my position in the band as of today. I will be leaving tour to be with my family and continue to defend my innocence in these matters.
I know who I am and who I am not. I admit, wholeheartedly, that I am not a perfect person and I have made mistakes in life. I strive every day I am given to be a better person, husband, father, bandmate, and friend.
I appreciate those who have supported me and defended my name against the lies being spread, and I am sorry to those who have been negatively affected by them. This decision is the furthest thing from what I want, but it is unfortunately what is best. Being a member of ADTR has been the greatest honor and I am so thankful for the past 18 years."
A Day to Remember are currently touring and have yet to comment on the issue or name a replacement touring member.

He couldn't wait til they got home
Edit: ew I didn't know this is about another fucking perv nvm
|
| |
He also apparently killed someone and didn't get his licence revoked, dude is a garbage human being
|
| |
I miss the days this headline would always mean drug addiction
|
| |
Looks like he experienced a Life Lesson Learned the Hard Way.

What Separates Me From You Is A Restraining Order

I guess he will put his Wood somewhere else from now on.
|
| |
I miss the days when band members were fired for being too obsessed with model trains.
|
| |
He probably used a bad vibrator, which is not common courtesy.
You're welcome.

Life Lessons Learned The Hard Way ¯_(ツ)_/¯

bros love to defend their innocence

"He also apparently killed someone and didn't get his licence revoked, dude is a garbage human being"
driving a fucking tesla too
i think he'll be ok being out of a job for the foreseeable future lol

He got his license revoked for 1 year smh. I can't find much on that car crash though. Just says he veered to the right and an accident occurred. He then pleaded guilty and had to pay $1k and 12 month license revoked. I had to pay $500 for going 55 in a 40 my first and only ticket ever ... guy pays 1k for being in a fatal car crash.

Well maybe he thought is best to leave. I mean why would he want to live in a state of Paranoia about the possibility of being Exposed. The Bad Vibrations associated with this kind accusation would definitely leave the band in a Negative Space.

We should all just learn to Forgive and Forget
|
| |
great thread
now the whole band has to step down and we'll be good to go
|
| |
so were this new allegations or is it the same person bring forward more info on this whole thing?
|
| |
Wish they’d all step down, jfc. The newest album is straight trash
|
| |
I hope they stay together to boost my objectivity score
|
| |
They always say "These are lies! But I'm not a perfect person and I've probably done something similar to what I'm being accused of... but NOT by the person coming forward, just someone else that hasn't said anything"
If it were me, I'd say "nah, fuck that shit.. I didnt do it." And go on about my life
|

The sexual assaults may have involved violence, with the victim saying "Enough is enough!".
She probably feels a lot of resentment towards him.
|
| |
Think it's more likely Jeremy and the boys thought "this guy will be the downfall of us all" and told him to quit or get kicked
|
| |
"He also apparently killed someone and didn't get his licence revoked"
truly A Day To Remember
Unless he was drunk...
|
| |
I didn't think I'd come back to some of the worst puns I'd ever seen, but I don't know what else I expected from you goofy lot
