Sure but like I thought there were news stories and discourse, well beyond open secret territory

 

Yeah

I think there was an article as well

 

I don't recall an article before now, but there was definitely a blog/Tumblr post and many, many tweets about it. Truly crazy that it still hasn't picked up steam

 

Also very surprised this article went mostly unnoticed from back in April

If it was only picked up by AOL.com I’m not surprised

This is really fucking gross. I feel terrible for the victims and the band.

 

Here’s to hoping these allegations finally stick.

 

Actor Jared Leto denies historical claims of sexual misconduct from nine women

 

Lots of huge artists must be seeing the Thom Yorke backlash and hoping no one asks them about their stance on Israel/Palestine in a public forum.

 

Wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a Radiohead tour soon just to try to get on the public’s good side

 

This was happening even before he made his statement I believe

 

Statement from Michael Tait (formerly of Newsboys, dc Talk, TAIT) on the allegations against him. Surprised he admitted to it. Not surprised by the fluffy, over-spiritualized apology.

 

Also unsurprising that he glosses over the "I touched people inappropriately" part to make it all about him and his "sin". Pure fucking narcissism.

 

He also does not mention any kind of restorative work for these victims. It’s just “Sorry! I’m praying for you!” Like, even alcoholics have to take the steps of making amends to those they’ve hurt. Restoring your faith does nothing to help others.

 

Speed running the sex pest to Christian motivational speaker pipeline

 

Right… so like most abusers he’s only sorry now that he got caught.

 

It’s the Christian way.

 

No, he quit and went to rehab on his own BEFORE these allegations came out! Now he’s clean and sober and DEFINITELY not attracted to dudes! Duh! Certainly didn’t catch wind that this was coming and tried to get ahead of it…
