Greg Ginn accused of child abuse

2014-10-14 by TheGreatQ | 64 Comments
Greg Ginn, a founding member of Black Flag, has been accused of child abuse by his ex wife as she tries to become the sole conservator of their two daughters (aged 7 and 10).

The list of abuses includes withholding food, using alcohol and drugs in front of the girls, disciplining them by throwing cups of water in their faces, and many other behaviours. Their youngest child was taken to the hospital on October 7th due to the "stress and anxiety" created by his actions.

disciplining by throwing cups of water in their face? That's the worst child abuse this woman can come up with? Sounds like a bloody ridiculous charge if you ask me.

i like how you pick this out from smack dab in between "witholding food" and "abusing drugs" in front of them to call into question and mock the legitimacy of the abuse you fuck puddle

This is considered abuse? Damn apparently I was abused like hell and I didn't even know it.

It still wouldn't be a funny joke even if the Thursday singer hadn't joined Lost Prophets a year ago.

"he seems to be bad with decisions lately damn"

so he's just a bad person then.

"According to the affidavit, Greg "behaved erratically and abusively and endangered the lives and emotional wellbeing of the children." The document claims that the children "have complained that his behavior has recently grown increasingly erratic, that he is routinely denying them food and threatening them, that he is increasingly abusing alcohol and drugs in front of them, and that they have witnessed confrontations and physical violence at the building where they live."

It goes on to claim that Greg "forced [the children] to do cleaning chores until 2 a.m.", "locked [them] in a room alone with no contact with the outside world through cell phone or emails," and that he has "throw[n] cups of water in their face." It says that "the children have seen him drink and do drugs, including marijuana, on a daily basis."

According to the document, Greg has told his daughters "you're hot" and "whistled at them," and told them "they are getting fat and need to lose weight and that their diets will have to be more strenuous.""

Holy fuck. The parts that don't sound like abuse (doing drugs and fighting in front of them) are definitely really, really irresponsible and indicative of bad parenting. That last part is just fucking creepy.

Nah, man. That's still very abusive and traumatizing, however indirect. But here, I'm like other people were in the Kozelek thread. Greg Ginn has been a piece of shit for a long long time. He just played guitar good.

lmao While I doubt it'll do as much harm as everything else, the water in the face has to be a big "WTF" moment. Like I wouldn't necessarily call it abuse if my mom or dad did that to me rn but I would be like "WHY??? That's not okay." He sounds like a terrorist in his own home.

Not wrong.

"Greg Ginn is a piece of shit sell out."

Whole ass. If anyone needs proof, just read about the Black Flag rights disputes. It's damn pitiful how he's dragging around the corpse of a band that hasn't been special since '84.

Yeah it is a bit rough considering Greg Ginn has always been an influential force within the band. While I'm not surprised that someone from Black Flag is like this, it makes sense why he's all around reviled within the punk community.
