Accountability in Music II • Page 25

The Roys Report now has a recorded phone call from Michael Tait to one of his victims in which he’s “apologizing” while also scapegoating and gaslighting:

“You can hang me at the gallows, or you can say . . . ‘You know, hey, I forgive you,’” said Tait.

One moment, please...

 

The forgiveness of your victims doesn't dismiss the need for justice and legal consequences. I think modern Christianity forgets that part.

 

Yes I'm pretty sure. Go read the comments of that link you posted.

 

I think you need to step back and really think what you’re accusing them of. It isn’t something you throw a meme in about.

 

I’d advise listening to the interview Stu did with the Sappening Podcast a few years back. As far as I know, it’s one of the only times one of them has publicly talked about it.

The hosts aren’t for me, but one of them was in a band from Wales called The Blackout, who had Ian feature on their breakout single.

Goes into how in the final five or so years of the band, Ian was distant, aggressive, secretive, travelling separately, etc. They even lived in separate countries, and got into physical fights a few times. Stu says he had a drug addiction which he refused help for too so they were going to break up. You can hear the hurt and anger for sure.

So, I dunno. Maybe educate yourself before you go throwing this shit around based off one out of context joke.

 

This one? EP. 200 - No Devotion (Geoff Rickly + Stuart Richardson) | Sappenin’ Podcast with Sean Smith

e: Might instead be this one: EP. 54 - Stuart Richardson (No Devotion / Lostprophets) | Sappenin’ Podcast with Sean Smith

Yeah I bet Stuart knows more of the actual facts of the situation than some fucking rando looking for internet clout.

 

I was referring to the second one, but that one with Geoff sounds interesting for sure! I’m not a regular listener but I’ll have to check that one out.

 

Wild, just read that one of the two women who offered their baby up to Watkins will be up for release next year. Should stay behind bars forever in my opinion!

 

And at the least should be followed by child services if she ever has more kids in the future cause wut
