My experience with Ben Barnett of Kind Of Like Spitting

 

If you search back in the original version of this thread, there have been allegations for a while or at least stories of him being creepy but they were never super public. I remember posting the screenshots so I’ll add them to this reply once I find them.

Edit:





Hope she is doing okay after publicly coming forward with this!

 

rough read!

 

Hopefully they pull him from bfff

 

Confirming they have.

 

yikes

Dismembered Body Found in Trunk of D4vd's Tesla ID'd as T...

 

A pretty shit apology, he dug himself a deeper hole with this one.

 

There was a Reddit post from five months ago where Ben made a burner account (he basically makes it clear it is him) and was making, along with people who seemed to be friends with him, a bunch of comments about the situation in attempt to defend himself

just curious, what about this seems shit to you?

 

Someone else on here can definitely articulate it better than I can, but I'll do my best here...

- He talks about honoring his accuser while also showing receipts. How is that honoring his accuser? You're not really honoring an accuser if you are going to be adversarial and go through everything the accuser did wrong. It's insincere.

- He wants to apologize "right or wrong" rather than flat out just apologizing wholeheartedly. The "right or wrong" just makes it sound like he's apologizing for the sake of apologizing. Again, insincere.

- "Work toward whatever restorative justice looks like" = acting clueless as if he didn't know what he did wrong, so he'll just let the general public decide and tell him "whatever" it is. He is using socially-conscious buzz words like "restorative justice" thinking it can come across like a mature response, but to me it just makes him look like he knows what he actually did was wrong and he did it anyways, but still refuses to acknowledge what he did. Yet again, insincere.

- The bottom line of the apology comes across as "Ok fine, I won't make music anymore, I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY RILA, THIS IS YOUR FAULT!"

 

For me, it's the "I do not at the moment have a 'rebuttal' at hand..." into "There has been overwhelming hatred toward me..." like pick a lane bud. Either the allegations are true and you are taking the correct steps, or they aren't and you deny them. Don't really think you can have your cake and eat it too with these things.

 

Also he’s still trying to promote his music in the apology lol

gonna go ahead and tell you all to approach this with caution! it’s pretty sickening

 

I'm going to be honest, I don't think I can take much more of this life. People are absolutely, insanely disgusting beyond measure. Genuinely sickening.

 

Read up on this d4vd stuff, this man is going to the level beneath hell

 

How is he NOT in custody yet?

 

Because he’s somehow on tour and nobody cares.
