Geordie Greep has issued a new statement after the woman at the center of recent allegations against the former black midi frontman came forward with her account, saying he sexually assaulted her while she was asleep. In a new Paste report published Wednesday, the woman — identified under the pseudonym “Laura” — also stressed that flyers accusing Greep of rape outside his October 8th Vancouver concert were distributed without her knowledge or consent.
Geordie Greep has been at the center of controversy after allegations of sexual assault surfaced. The woman, identified as “Laura,” has come forward to share her side of the story, stating that she was sexually assaulted by Geordie Greep while she was asleep. In an interview with Paste, Laura emphasized that the flyers distributed outside Geordie Greep’s Vancouver concert, which accused him of rape, were not authorized by her and did not accurately reflect what happened.
Account of the Incident
Laura recounted the events of the evening, stating that she met Geordie Greep and touring keyboardist Cameron Campbell at a Vancouver bar. She mentioned that she repeatedly told them she was in an exclusive relationship. After falling asleep on a couch, Laura woke up to Geordie Greep kissing her and pushed him away. Cameron Campbell told Paste that he and others woke up after hearing her scream and later saw her crying and visibly shaken.
Cameron Campbell also stated that Geordie Greep initially downplayed the incident and that he decided to leave Geordie Greep’s touring band that night. The other members of the backing band confronted Geordie Greep about his behavior after Cameron Campbell informed the tour manager. Geordie Greep ultimately performed the Vancouver concert without his backing band and denied the rape allegation from the stage.
Response from Geordie Greep
Hours after the Paste report was published, Geordie Greep posted a statement on Instagram, acknowledging that he attempted to kiss Laura and claiming that he believed she was interested in him. However, his account differs from Laura’s description of the evening, including her assertion that she had repeatedly made clear she was in an exclusive relationship.
Geordie Greep’s remaining US tour dates have been canceled, and he has offered refunds to attendees of the Vancouver show. The proceeds from the show will be donated to an organization supporting survivors of sexual violence. The incident has sparked a significant reaction, with many calling for greater accountability and support for survivors of sexual assault.
In conclusion, the allegations against Geordie Greep have led to a significant fallout, with his tour dates canceled and his reputation under scrutiny. The incident highlights the importance of listening to and believing survivors of sexual assault, as well as the need for accountability and support. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Geordie Greep and the music industry will respond to these serious allegations.
