1. Any apology followed by “but” is not an apology.

People need to tell all the stories!

Also, he called the reporters “rats.”  In mob terms, that means a person that spills the beans on a very real, but illegal operation. 

I’m sorry you had to go through that. Vile predators like Ryan Adams unfortunately reach beyond just the music industry. They’re an infestation on all of pop culture, and I’m not sure when or if they can ever be removed from society.

I apologize deeply and unreservedly. But

You know Bryan Adams is somewhere like fuck.

But if that’s really true, why make the comment about being like R Kelly? It doesn’t seem like something you would reference if what you thought was happening was really on the up and up. 

Speaking of industry creeps, I've heard a rumor that producer Dallas Austin  (Chilli's husband) and Kevin Wales used to drug and rape women in the 90s.

The Chapel Hill/Carrboro townies know EVERYONE! And that music scene is so tightly knit. Oh to be a fly on the wall at some of those hangs...

So, he (obviously) forcefully denied the underage stuff because that can be a crime. The rest of it, he seems to gloss over with the ‘I’m not perfect’ approach. Great, you’re not a criminal, you’re just a skeevy PoS.

The New York Times had text messages! Of him saying that if people found out, they’d believe he was like R. Kelly! How are you gonna dispute things after that?

I met Ryan Adams back in 2013 through a mutual friend. She was taking film photographs of the recording process of his latest self titled album at Pax Am studios. We both worked as artist in LA, and at the time she was 20 years old and I was 26. When I arrived, everything seemed cordial until Ryan started making…

Because 5+ women have coordinated a big fat lie about Ryan Adams 🙄 /s

Poor guy, such an awful story. So brave of him to be so honest & open. Wishing him the best.

All the respect for Mr. Smollet

I like Octavia Spencer so much I was rooting for Ma in all those scenes.  Seems like a wild ride.

“But if a history of sexual misconduct—from the military to the classroom—and an arrest record, aren’t enough of a red flag to the FBI, what is?”

Demetria Obilor is a national treasure.

Try telling that to Soulja Boy.

I hate when people are quick to claim sour grapes but this is sour grapes. There’s no way around it.

There are points that could be made about Donald Glover being white people’s black Jesus or how he idolizes non-black women. This guy made absolutely none of them.

Glover’s a house slave who is wrong for not showing up…
