Brent Walsh Faces Accusations

2020-07-24 by Your #1 Most Loved Semiaquatic, Egg-Laying Mammal | 36 Comments
Brent Walsh, lead singer of I the Mighty, is facing accusations of sexual assault following a statement made online by a former female fan. The fan alleges that, after a meet-and-greet at Warped Tour in 2014, Walsh harassed her for sexually explicit images for months afterward, which allegedly culminated in a violent sexual assault.

The full statement can be found here: https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1srb9bb?fbclid=IwAR0K84kQ7qwDEdCVFJ4nQTE5NkzFlv8 4m5q_uV-M_NdaclcPXrQOMkjxjeg

Following the accusations, drummer Blake Dahlinger has left the band. So far he is the only member to make any form of statement, which can be found here: https://twitter.com/muppetanimal/status/1286678216921366528

Yikes. He posted his apology and it was pretty cringey. He just pulled the “I don’t remember exactly what happened” card and claimed to have not understood the “power dynamics” of men and women as well in 2015.

So something definitely happened.

"Imagine typing this out and thinking "yeah, this is it""

Imagine going on the internet and advocating for someone who:
- tries to fuck a whole Warped Tour band
- is surprised of finding out that one of the members is a creep
- pretends that a six-year age difference (19 vs 25) necessarily means that the guy is in a position of power and she is incapable of standing for herself

I enjoyed their music but there have been some subtle lyrical clues that this guy doesn't have healthy attitudes towards women.

There's a track on their last album where the lyrics describe him going to a girl's place uninvited and eavesdropping on her interactions with another guy. The same track has lyrics about "following you home, even though it's insane."

Just generally seems like he has somewhat of an incel complex. Which totally makes someone prone to committing abuse.

Imagine just being sad because I like their music. Drumming was always pretty nice so it's sad the guy is stepping away from ItM. I don't care for both sides, honestly just hope it's a false accusation but oh well.

Where exactly have I defended a rapist? I said that the whole "I was only 19" is starting to sound a bit lame, not that she hasn't been raped or that the guy is not disgusting.
