Bassnectar to leave Music Industry after sexual abuse allegations
Bassnectar has had some pretty serious allegations made against him.
In fact, there is an Instagram page dedicated to this called ‘evidenceagainstbassnectar’ and it does not make for pretty reading.
So, Bassnectar has announced he is “stepping back” from his career and handing over his non-profit, Be Interactive, to the rest of his team.
When the allegations first surfaced his online response as,
“The rumours of sexual misconduct that are circulating about me are completely untrue. I want to leave it at that, because it truly is that simple.
“I have never been involved in anything that was not absolutely, unequivocally consensual. During a time when high profile men are being called out for their violence against women, I am proud to be an ally of women and stand in solidarity with victims.
“Thank you to all those who are listening to real victims of abuse and standing to support women.”
Now, while he still maintains that the rumours are not true he seems to acknowledge that in his position of privilege he may have causes some people pain.
Cancel culture is hitting hard!!!
